The Pawnee tow plane is now back in the air after some delays relating to an engine mount issue. This highlights the importance of good airmanship which includes conducting very thorough pre-flight inspections. The good news is that the required maintenance occurred during a period where there has been weather that was quite unsuitable for flying. The field is still quite damp so if you are thinking about going for a glide, its a good idea to phone the duty Instructor (see Gliding Tasmania website) to confirm flying arrangements for a given day.
