2) According to club rules, which of the following are true? (WGCFR - GROUND HANDLING OF CLUB EQUIPMENT #2)
When ground towing gliders, only one club glider shall be towed per vehicle.
When towing a glider, the tow rope must be released from the glider manually, it is not appropriate to turn the vehicle around and pull the rope clear using the back release.
The tension in the tow rope should be relaxed before releasing the rope to avoid personal injury and aircraft damage
When ground towing WGC gliders, the control stick is to be tied back in the aft position by the lap straps, or the trim lever placed in the most rearward position.
3) What should you do after landing the glider? (WGCFR - Flight Line Traffic Procedures #4)
