Do you do a pre take off check list? Yes Do you "close and lock" ths spoilers as part of your pre take off check list? No. I use the spoilers to maintain rope tension and prevent over-running it if the tow pilot takes up slack a bit too fast. I then use it on my ship to help with aileron control at low speed, as do many others. There are many nuances to glider operations, so one solution does not fit all situations. What does work is currency, maintaining situational awareness, and not performing *immediate* programmed responses. ALWAYS think before you act. If pulling the release immediately after a wave-off will put me in danger, then I may just delay the release if I believe the tow pilot is in less danger than I am. Not all emergency responses can be pre-programmed, just ask an Airbus pilot. -Tom |
