While we are on the subject of highlighting great service from ATC, I would be remiss in not thanking Dundee tower for going above and beyond during my Friday evening stop over, On turning onto the active for departure the bracket that anchors the piston for my right brake pedal snapped. I requested a taxi back to the terminal which was approved with an offer of any help I may need, after shutdown and an inspection I determined the pedal was completely knackered and had a choice, fly back right seat or let my non pilot passenger work the right brake from his side (as I called out for it) and I would work the left. As light was fading fast I opted to stay left seat and taxied passed the tower with a bunch of zig zagging as we perfected our synchronized braking technique, which I suspect must have looked like we were completely pissed up. Upon approaching my home field Dundee again extended me the courtesy of providing me their current wind as they frequently do unsolicited ( my home field is close) and additionally requested that I call the tower when I get back on ground to make sure all went well with the landing, which I thought was damned decent of them. Again, thanks.
