My own club carries tow for hire coverage so we
can tow non-member gliders or tow in local competitions. We do allow
private tow pilots to tow members only. The FAA rule is obscure at best.

Lynch is long since retired I believe.

Frank, I have been instructed the same by our insurance carrier.. probably
the same carrier.. the same thing.. if we even add the "CAP" clause, the tow
pilot for "commercial tow" must be Commercial rated, the only Pvt tow pilot
we have, could only tow club members.
