The sailplane has become airborne and the towplane loses power before leaving the ground. The sailplane should release immediately and
  1. Land to the left of direction
  2. Land to the right of direction
  3. Land straight ahead
  4. Try and fly over the towplane and then land in front of the towplane
Explanation
Correct answer: C. Land straight ahead. The standard for towplanes, if power is lost or the cable breaks before they become airborne, is to move to the left. In this case, the glider pilot should release immediately and land forward, then, if needed, move to the right. The main point is that the pilot can land forward. Some airports have different rules, so always ensure that the correct standard is known before using the field.
