I agree completely with David Starer about what pupils ought to do, and
what
to do about it if they don't.

c. As soon as the cable is seen to release start the climbing turn, and
look again to make sure it is safe to continue the turn.

It is important that the turn is not started with the rope still attached
(this has been known, tug pilots don't like it!).


The BGA are now teaching instructors on Assistant Cat courses to climb away
from the tug without turning. This was reported by someone at my club who
did a course recently. Unfortunately I can't remember the reason for the
change.
