ESCRIPTION
The TOST tow cable with retractor is firmly installed behind the passengers seat and will allow to
retract the tow rope during the flight descend after the glider pilot has released the cable. The rope
is retracted by the pilot pushing a switch located on the panel. A green light below the switch
indicates a fully retracted cable. In an emergency the rope can be cut with a yellow handle situated
left of the pilot at the console.
For a detailed description see the Operating Manual for the TOST Cable Retractor Winch in the
annex of this manual.
