JOIN US AS A TOW PILOT!
There are few things more rewarding than being around enthused fellow pilots and
being part of a team launching a fleet into the sky. Glider clubs take good care
of their tow pilots because of the key role they play in the operations. There
is great commaraderie at the field, everyone is grateful, and you get to fly for
free of course! Sharpen your piloting skills and make lifelong friends in a
great sport.
HOW DO I GET STARTED IN TOWING?
The first step is to contact us to let us know you wish to tow and we will put
you in touch with your nearest glider club. Each has its own experience
requirement for tow pilots but lots of tailwheel time is a big plus at most
clubs. Next become familiar with the Standard Signals that we use and go through
this short Tow Pilot Course which covers the basics of towing safely. Last, your
club will provide you with an orientation (each has slightly different
procedures for operating the club tow plane and field safety learnings).
