SAILPLANE RELEASE
• Check the aerotowed attitude through the mirror.
• From the straight level flight, let the sailplane to release from the towing
rope.
TOW-ROPE DROP BEFORE LANDING
To drop the tow rope on the runway, follow this procedure:
• Set a glide to release the tow rope on the runway at a height, above ground
level, not more than 100 ft.
• Pull the release lever.
• Proceed with a normal landing and check that the rope has been removed
from the runway.
If you are landing with the tow-rope linked to the a/c, please remember that it
hangs behind and below the tail. Therefore set a landing glide so as to take into
account a safety margin with respect to any obstacle present on the ground and
that could be intercepted by the rope.
