Winch accident in New Zealand, can low time student pilot be blamed?
http://www.glidingmagazine.com/NewsArticle.asp?id=1371
http://www.glidingmagazine.com/ Correct "CG" release was used, which on PW5 is offsett forward of the CG. I was told that the nose hook is not allowed for winch towing of PW5. That's what manual sais, but who knows why? Which other gliders are not allowed to be winched by the nose? I was told that PW5 has front and rear ballast weights, how complicated is it? Who is resposible for checking weight and ballance, if for example student pilot has 3 hours (40 flights X 5min) of flight experience? When does resposibility of flight instructor end? Andre
