Minimum number of flights for winch sign off?
Way back in 1987, while on business in Alice Springs, NT, Australia, I
visited the Bond Springs gliding club.Â* I flew a Twin Lark (VH-CQA) off of a twin drum winch with about a mile of single strand wire for launches.Â* A review of my logbook reveals 6 launches including 2 cable breaks with an instructor and then I began giving rides to my co-workers who wanted to see what a glider flight was about. On 2/13/2018 7:53 AM, Waveguru wrote: What would be the consensus for the minimum number of flights to get a ground launch sign off for an experienced glider pilot? How many cable breaks and at what altitude? Of course it would take more for some and less for others, but I would think at least 15 launches with 5 cable breaks at various heights? Boggs -- Dan, 5J
