Tow Clinic
Vehicle & Boat Tow Endorsement
TOW ENDORSEMENT
Sky Out Tow Endorsement Clinics’s are held every 3 months and generally run over 2 days. We have the exclusive use of 2 airstrips in NSW, allowing us to choose the best site for the weather conditions
Training starts with a safety briefing and theory lesson which covers all aspects of towing, boat and vehicle based. You will then move out to the airstrip and begin your paraglider tow training (minimum of 10 tows of varied height including simulated emergencies)
Tow Endorsement Clinics are taught using both Pay-In and Pay-Out winching, resulting in our pilots gaining experience in both towing techniques.
