Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Ramp Check on Tug at Beverley John, thanks for the heads up. We had the CASA Drugs and Alcohol tester turn up on a Wednesday to test us, finding the gate closed they phoned the contact number to find out that we usually only operate on weekends; 2 minutes of pre trip Internet research would have saved them a trip.

He went through an extensive checklist of required items, and requested sighting of the aircraft’s Maintenance Release and the POH. Luckily I had my Licence and Medical on me, so all my documentation was OK. The Inspector then observed operations for several hours. I would suggest that you make sure that all you tuggies ensure that you carry your licence and medical on board from now on whilst on towing duty in case of a visit at your airfield.
