Do you know anything about the interesting work of towing gliders? And did you know that you can get paid to do it either as a fun side job or as a way to build time?

It turns out you don't need a lot of hours to qualify to towed gliders. So stick around as we talk with Jason Stevens, who will tell you what you need to know to land this fun job.

Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk, where we talk general aviation.

My name is Max Truscott.

I've been flying for, yeah, 50 years.

I'm the author of several books and the 2008 National Flight Instructor of the Year.

And my mission is to help you become the safest possible pilot.

Earlier in the week, in episode 325, we talked about how to start an approach at a waypoint

marked as an IF slash IAF and when you have to fly a hold at that fix.

And we talked about the crash of an SR22 in which the pilot failed to fly the required hold.

So if you didn't hear that episode, you may want to check it out at AviationNewsdok.com slash 325. And if you're new to the show, welcome. Great to have you here.
