Are all the fatal kiting incidents connected to a CG hook on the glider? Has there ever been a fatal kiting incident connected to a glider nose hook? Aren't new gliders required to have a nose hook for aerotow? Gliders with nose hooks don't kite. They may be flown out of position but kiting effect due to low and aft hook is eliminated. Certification now requires nose hooks for aero tow, in part due to findings of studies described before. UH
