Yes, with the optional E 85 tow release. The AEROPRAKT LTD A-22 LS may tow a glider up to 700 kg with one pilot aboard, using a 200-300 daN weak link and a 40 to 60 m rope.

What engine check should I see on the AEROPRAKT LTD A-22 LS?

At 4,000 rpm the checklist allows a maximum drop of 300 rpm per ignition side and a 115 rpm difference between sides. Oil pressure should read 29-73 PSI and idle should be at least 1400 rpm.

Glider and banner towing

The optional E 85 tow release fits on the tail fuselage. Glider towing needs one pilot only, and the glider may not exceed 700 kg. The weak link must be 200-300 daN and the rope 40 to 60 m long. Minimum tow speed is 95 km/h and best climb speed is 105 km/h. Takeoff distance to 15 m is under 600 m in the stated conditions. High grass can add up to 25%.

Bulletins to verify on a used aircraft

SB A22LS-24 (landing-gear braking resonance) affects serials 1-434. Its text is built into POH for serials over 434. SB A22LS-23 adds a rescue rocket bracket on listed serials and is mandatory. SB A22LS-15 moved some 50 hour checks to 100 hours for serials 1-282. IB A-22LS-08 moved wing and strut inspection to 500 hours. Propeller hub and spinner are checked every 200 h.

What the pre-flight checklist tells you to inspect

Check engine mount and vibration dampers for cracks, exhaust springs, and fuel, oil and coolant leaks. Inspect nose and main legs and the tyres and brakes. Check wing and strut attachment fittings, fuel tank caps and vents, flaperon hinges, and the baggage container. Verify the recovery system if fitted. Before takeoff, coolant must read at least 60°C and oil at least 50°C.

Safety notes

  • Braking: avoid resonant vibration of the main gear legs; hard braking on hard runways may cause fatigue cracks in the gear attachment beam.
  • Towing: release the rope or banner before landing and beware of obstacles that may catch it.
  • Skipping the rescue-system bracket (SB A22LS-23) will cause incorrect function and injury if the system deploys.
