Overview
With more widespread use of radio-based communication, the most challenging aspects of maneuver-based visual communication are:
- remembering the proper signal (both the glider pilot and tow pilot)
- the glider pilot’s ability to physically fly a recognizable signaling maneuver
- the tow pilots recognition of the signal.
