| Notes | |||||||||
| Initial climb speeds; These should be used when light winds and little turbulence. Transition to | |||||||||
| normal climb speed at Flap retract. | |||||||||
| Turbulent conditions; Climb in the range Normal to Normal +5. | |||||||||
| Water ballasted gliders; Not less than 65 kts, 70 kts if turbulent. Don't use UA if possible. | |||||||||
| Fox aerobatic glider; Not less than 70 kts, avoid UA. | |||||||||
| Vintage gliders; Use UA whenever possible, minimum speed 47 kts (=50 kts in glider). YM can also | |||||||||
| be used, minimum speed 55 kts (=50 kts in glider). Monitor CHTs and be prepared to terminate tow early. | |||||||||
