Chaps, Flame suit on I was under the impression that the CAR's were still the operational documents as the CASR have been suspended due to a challenge to them in the High Court.

That's aerial agriculture and fire-fighting to you and me! It is totally irrelevant to glider towing! Further, the PA-25 Pawnee does not require a flight manual, as Michael correctly quoted from the non-required list. [However, it does require a supplement for the aerial agriculture and fire-fighting roles, as it does for the glider towing role - BUT ONLY THE ROLE SUPPLEMENT.] If you had a Glider Towing Supplement for your pre-2001 (unique Australian style) flight manual, this is sufficient for a glider towing supplement under the present rules - but you DO need to identify it by attaching a copy to an approval page and getting a CASA signature on the approval page. And under the former (and present) Government's policies for charging individuals for such services, you may end up incurring a bill for this.
