A certificated private pilot may not act as pilot in command of an aircraft towing a glider unless there is entered in the pilot's logbook a minimum of
A
100 hours of pilot flight time in any aircraft, that the pilot is using to tow a glider.
B
100 hours of pilot-in-command time in the aircraft category, class, and type, if required, that the pilot is using to tow a glider.✓ Correct Answer
C
200 hours of pilot-in-command time in the aircraft category, class, and type, if required, that the pilot is using to tow a glider.
Explanation
14 CFR 61.69(a)(2) requires a glider tow pilot to have logged at least 100 hours of pilot-in-command time in the aircraft category, class and type (if required) being used to tow. Total flight time in any aircraft does not satisfy it, and 200 hours is not the requirement for that path.
