How accurate are your altimeters during a winch launch?

My recollection of winch training suggests that the trained response
to a cable break is to lower the nose. Once that is done and the
glider moves 32.8 feet (10 meters), the altimeter should be as
accurate as anywhere else in the envelope. And as other posters have
pointed out, that's where the decision time begins.

Good food for thought.
