Regarding aircraft towing gliders:. .. .I don't view flight in the vicinity of glider towing as being the same as flight in the vicinity of winch launches. The big difference is the cable - which is very difficult to see, has a very large vertical extent, and has no capability to see and avoid me if I should happen to not see it. Even if there's no ATZ to protect the airfield, I don't want to be anywhere near a winch cable, for my own safety!. .. .An aircraft towing a glider, however, is not much different to any other aircraft, except that it has right of way over another aeroplane or helicopter. Therefore, if I'm in the same airspace as a glider being towed, I'll pass behind the glider. This is exactly the same way as I'd normally give way to any other aircraft which has right of way over me - whether it be a glider, an airship, or even another aeroplane that happens to be on my right. I don't see any need to stay clear of areas where glider towing takes place - I just look out for other aircraft, the same as normal, and make sure I know which aircraft have right of way over me. Although I do want to keep a little more distance from a glider (towed or not) than aeroplanes, as has been discussed here many times, because they tend to manoevre more.. .. .(This obviously doesn't apply in the immediate vicinity of an airfield, where, if there's an ATZ, I have to stay clear - or at least talk to someone if I'm not staying clear - and if there's no ATZ then common sense says I should stay clear.). .. .FFF. .-------
