After we've been flying on our own for a
while, slack rope situations become very rare (except on Condor with which I am getting through a problematic introduction). Instructors of course encounter slack rope situations more frequently with magnitudes where many of us would have yanked long before. Flying a CG hook my hand is always on the release during tow. My bigger concern is instructors that want to see a fully developed spin before recovery. That builds a muscle memory that will have you smacking the ground if you get an incipient in the circuit. I have a thankfully very short list of instructors I will not fly with. The latest addition said some years ago there was some unidentifiable concern he "could not put [his] finger on". |
