Hello:
Hopefully tomorrow and Saturday are not as breezy as Rockford (KRFD) today. Winds are now 28015G22KT. It will not be a fun day with a 24 mph wind.
Pop quiz: what are the wind limits for a 2-33 glider? What are the club limits?
Regards,
Rich

Hello:
The Pop Quiz Answer:
For 2-33 limits I will let you keep searching. Ask an Instructor if you do not know.
Club rules are to Suspend Flight Operations if…
● Wind exceeds 20 KTS or gusts exceed 25 KTS.
● Crosswind component is in excess of POH limits or excessive for pilot experience.
● Approaching storm.
Student pilots are limited to;
o logbook endorsements.No flying for students if
o Tailwind for aerotow takeoff exceeds 5 KTS.
o Tailwind for landing exceeds 5 KTS.o Visibility is less than 3 miles.
o Ceiling is less than 1500 ft. AGL.
o Field conditions are unsuitable.
o Approaching storm conditions.
o Student pilots require a CFI-G to be present.Regards,
Rich
