The local Glider tug annual inspection in progress, this includes any special inspections due. The local glider tug has a tow hook which is overhauled each year in-house, in accordance with CASA Airworthiness Directive Supplementary 8 (AD/Supp/8). This tow hook, on the test rig, required major adjustment to release within the required limits.
