Think about it... if the glider flies out to the far right, it drags the towplane's tail to the right, thus pointing the towplane nose to the left.... causing a left turn.

Hence, the FAA version is wrong.

Tom Knauff has been (unsuccessfully) trying to get the FAA to correct the numerous errors in that book.


The SSA and SSAF tried unsuccessfully to review the draft. Note the foreword thanks to the SSA at ssa.com. When the FAA version was published, that domain was still for sale at a ridiculous price, and had been for nearly 20 years. Looks like the other SSA finally got their hands on it.
