Our club was host to the New South Wales Gliding maintenance course for Minor Glass repair on gliders in the week 12th to 19th June. The Regional Technical Officer Airworthines Arnie Hartley organised the course and Mark Rowe undertook the role as trainer.
The week was well attended with students accommodated at the on site airport tourist park with meals in our club house. The Airborne Avionics workshop and the club workshop were both set up for a number of minor repair tasks.
This was the first time the club has hosted any airworthiness school however the feed back from those who attended was very positive, so I am sure it will not be the last one. Some of our own members have now expressed interest in the next course so consideration will now be given to another suitable time.
Our Discus GFV was the fortunate aircraft to be used as a part of the course and is now well on the way to a fresh start for our members.
Special thanks to Arnie and Mark who made their time available and I can now boast to being a somewhat expert biscuit and low GI cake baker.So much food that the guys on the coarse said they will need to modify their aircraft to fit now.
The coarse attendees were a skilled and friendly group and a great social time was had by all.
Credit and thanks must be given to the course attendees who put in long days and hard work to make our glider better in structure and finish.
