| Glider pilots use them on occasion for rapid descent and they are expected | to demonstrate proficiency in them on the practical exam. How do you maintain alignment with the tow plane? When *descending*?  )BTW, some glider pilots use short slips to take up slack from the tow rope, should there happen to occur some in turbulence. Most prefer the use of airbrakes, though.
