Cranwell aircraft down
What he said ^^^^
The T67a originally had an O-235 (115hp) engine that was upgraded to an O-320 (160hp) in the T67b. The T-3a and the T67M260 had an IO-540 (260hp) engine. Why the T-3a had the same smaller rudder fitted to it that the earlier smaller-engine birds had, I have no idea - but I do know that if I was spinning and aerobating in the US where it is often 'hot and high' I would want all the rudder I could get in the breeze!!!

HF,
There has been a temporary pause in Tutor flying until AAIB, Babcock and Hoffman can determine the cause of the prop failure - and, of course, any remedial action required.

What Wing are you and which AEF? No 5 AEF has passed information to all its wings by phone.
Bear in mind that most Wings are having to operate with reduced staff and are struggling to cope (and they only had 2 &1/2 in the first place) because of the Government enforced reduction in Civil Servants.

From the ATC internal SharePoint site "Bader":
Best estimate is as follows:
Small number of ac will return to flying during first week Oct. Priority will be resuming EFT ops. Potential to return to normal AEF ops by the end of Oct if no delays to recovery process.

Could be the last
Apparently not, cause not definitely known. Some possible clutching at straws going on?
I believe that some company pilots are flying, but the time frame mentioned a few posts ago sounds about right.

Gene

Has the "little white Grub" fleet got going again yet?
I read elsewhere that the Vigilant fleet (Grob 109) is also now grounded due to an AD on an elevator control rod, issued by EASA.
