The competition is an aerotow launch competition, therefore it is absolutely necessary that you are thoroughly skilled at aerotowing and capable of aerotowing in competition conditions. An international competition is no place to learn how to aerotow. If you wish to participate in this competition and you are not an experienced aerotow pilot you must use the next several months to gain the necessary skill. The meet director/safety director reserves the right to remove (without refund) any pilot who does not demonstrate appropriate aerotowing skills.
