Checking my logbook I find that, excluding training flights, my sucess
rate on winch launch is about 60%. Sucess is rated by climbing to a
height that allows me to glide to the next thermal. Some of our pilots
have better percentages because they are more "discerning" about when
they will take a flight.

Wish I could spell success!
