Let me get this right....you want to taxi an aircraft behind others simply for the convenience of being close to the launch grid? This seems to me to be in the category of landing back at the take-off point off a low circuit to avoid a lengthy retrieve when a modified circuit would be safer.
Simple answer....follow the requirements of the MOSP. We need to be avoiding 'accidents of convenience' by not setting ourselves up for one!

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Simple question straw poll, you can reply offlist Simple Question; "When flying a glider, is it OK to taxy off the runway after landing to position the glider close to the rear of the launch grid?" YES or NO or "It depends.." (give a reason) Offlist replies preferred >From latest MOSP Taxying after landing Sailplanes should make a straight approach and landing run parallel to the runway and must not taxy clear of the runway unless operationally required and only if no other aircraft can land alongside in the direction of taxi. Powered sailplanes may taxi under power providing it is safe to do so. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
