The Left vs the Right
At least one club in the UK requires the glider to turn right when
releasing from tow as well. If the tug has side-by-side seats the tug pilot is on the left so if he goes left after the glider releases he can make a good lookout before turning. If he goes right his view is impaired. So, tug left, glider right is safer....
