Part 62  : National Pilot Licensing

Subpart 11 : Requirements for the Issue of Tug and Tow Ratings

62.11.6 Hang-gliding tug endorsement

 

(1) No pilot with a tug rating for conventionally controlled microlights may tow a hangglider without a valid hang-gliding tug endorsement issued by the Director or the organisation designated for the purpose in terms of Part 149, as the case may be.

 

(2) For a hang-gliding tug endorsement, the pilot will be required to demonstrate at least 10 hang-gliding tugs, of which five will be in moderately thermic conditions.

 

(3) A pilot with a tug rating hang-gliding endorsement may tow a hang-glider, provided the pilot of the hang-glider is the holder of a valid national pilot licence in the category hang-gliders with a valid aero-tow rating.

 

(4) A hang-gliding tug endorsement may be obtained independently of the tug rating, but the holder of a hang-gliding tug endorsement may not tow anything other than a hang-glider.
