Fatal Towplane Accident 5-9-20
Thank you Nick, for mentioning. Webinar is up. Also the compiled Q&A with more illustrations as a supplement, also downloadable. Couple pics of Pawnees with hopper release handles. Will do another for tug pilots, maybe in late july.

Apparently, they have the same issue than we have on this side of the pond. https://members.gliding.co.uk/wp-con...nal-online.pdf Uli 'AS' |

Why not enlist the person hooking up the tow rope to do a check as well ?
Distraction from a checklist isn't hard to understand so adding a second person in the mix might avert disaster. While hooking up we usually do a test release a quick look at the canopy or giving it a tug would not add much time before walking to pickup the wing after the pilot gives the thumbs up . |
