It has not been mentioned (yet), but did the Lark have a CG hook, or a
nose hook? Things can get out of hand quickly with a CG hook if attention is diverted.

I'm new to gliding so excuse my ignorance, but shouldnt the D(olly) check be done before you get into the plane or is there no standard on the ABCD checks? Rather than checking that the Dolly (or someone elses that looks like yours) is on the grass to the side it would make more sense that you confirm, regardless of whos Dolly it is... it isnt attached to the back of your plane? Some locations.. to save time on an active shared runway.. shared with powered aircraft. If there are enough people for ground handling, the pilot will get in and strap in before being pushed to the runway.. leave the tail dolly off for easier ground movement. So the dolly may or may not be removed before the pilot gets strapped in. T |
