Winch Signals

Take up slack = 3 words All Out = 2 words Stop = 1 word The point of the different number of words is rather lost at clubs which use "take up slack take up slack take take up slack all out all out all out all out all out" Nowadays the pilot does not call launch commands. When he has accepted a cable attachment he is deemed to be ready to launch and the the wing runner (or a designated other) is responsible for making the calls properly. Yeah, but that'll be changed again next time someone wants to make a name for themselves in the BGA. Ian
