Prior to the towplane becoming airborne and after the glider lifts off, the glider pilot should turn into the wind and establish a wind correction angle to remain behind the towplane.

Answer C is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 13-14

PORPOISING - The recommended corrective action is to release some back pressure to reduce the climb angle until the oscillations stop, and then resume a shallower climb.

Answer A is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 13-5

The distinct advantage of a CG hitch is that the sailplane can gain a greater altitude with a given line length. The CG hitch also reduces the pitch-up tendency should the cable or a safety link break.

Answer A is correct. Part 61 Certification: Pilots & Instructors, Section 61.31(j)(1)(iii)

No person may act as pilot in command of a glider-- Using self-launch procedures, unless that person has satisfactorily accomplished ground and flight training on self-launch procedures and operations, and has received an endorsement from an authorized instructor who certifies in that pilot's logbook that the pilot has been found proficient in self-launch procedures and operations.

Answer B is correct. Part 91 General Operating and Flight Rules, Section 91.309(a)

No person may operate a civil aircraft towing a glider unless-- ... The towline used has breaking strength not less than 80 percent of the maximum certificated operating weight of the glider and not more than twice this ... weight. However, the towline used may have a breaking strength more than twice the ... weight of the glider if-- A safety link is installed at ... the glider with a breaking strength not less than 80 percent ... and not greater than twice this weight. (and) A safety link is installed at ... the towing aircraft with a breaking strength greater, but not more than 25 percent greater, than that of the safety link at the towed glider end of the towline and not greater than twice the ... (glider weight).

Answer A is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 6-1

In order to ensure correct and safe procedures for assembly of a glider, students and pilots should seek instruction from a knowledgeable glider flight instructor or certificated private or higher glider pilot.

Answer B is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 7-4

Prior to the towplane becoming airborne and after the glider lifts off, the glider pilot should turn into the wind and establish a wind correction angle to remain behind the towplane.

Answer A is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 7-6

...the danger of fouling from a towrope failure or inadvertent release is greater when flying in the low tow position.

Answer B is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 12-14

The primary cause of slack line is acceleration.

Answer C is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 7-15

When optimum pitch attitude for climb is attained, the glider should be approximately 200 feet above ground level.

Answer C is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 13-8

If a crosswind is present, the towline should be laid out downwind of the car.

Answer B is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 13-14

Porpoising, or rapid pitch oscillation may occur as the sailplane approaches the top of the climb. This phenomenon occurs as a result of the horizontal stabilizer stalling and unstalling in combination with the downward pull of the tow cable.

Answer C is correct. Joy of Soaring, Page 39

In the event of a rope break, the critical factor is airspeed. If this is up to normal when the rope breaks, and the stick is slammed fully forward instantly at the crack of the breaking line, the glider will come to a normal gliding attitude while still above best glide speed.

Answer A is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 6-3

A knot in a towrope reduces its strength by up to 50 percent.

Answer B is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 7-6

...the danger of fouling from a towrope failure or inadvertent release is greater when flying in the low tow position.

Answer A is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 7-16

During the launch, pilling back on the stick tends to increase airspeed, and pushing forward tends to reduce airspeed.

Answer B is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 13-5

The distinct advantage of a CG hitch is that the sailplane can gain a greater altitude with a given line length. The CG hitch also reduces the pitch-up tendency should the cable or a safety link break.

Answer B is correct. FAA-H-8083-13 Glider Flying Handbook, Page 7-14

The tow speed can be determined by: Subtract the surface winds from the maximum placarded ground launch tow speed, an additional 5 mph for airspeed increase during climb, estimated wind gradient increase, a 5 mph safety factor.

Answer C is correct. Soaring Flight Manual, Page 13-9

Above 200 feet, the pilot should begin increasing climb angle... As a guide, the pitch angle should not exceed 15o at 50 feet of altitude, 30o at 100 feet, and 45o at 200 feet.
