In Flight Emergency
Nicely done - both pilots!
Was the tow pilot aware of the problem before the glider pilot called? Did he get a cockpit full of smoke or did all of it stay outside and invisible to the tuggie? Did he keep the engine running throughout the landing? On 3/16/2015 8:37 AM, Charlie M.
