I have had very polite comms with '172 driver' who clearly requires his tug pilots to hold the Silver C. Hundreds of hours powered flying from Lasham is no substitute. I have come across other gliding clubs whose tug pilots are not required to hold Silver C. How important do the rest of you think it is to hold Silver C? Having soloed in K13 what would I have to do to get Silver C to make me eligible for tug pilot?
