Ben Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Low level aerobatics Ben, Although this thread started in a very different place, winch cable breaks (as opposed to aerotow cable breaks), -which I assume you are talking about - are a different kettle of fish entirely - for a start they occur quite routinely. Nevertheless, after 80 odd years the procedures to deal with a winch cable break are well documented, and work well if followed.
