On 15 February 2018 at 1845 Eastern Daylight-saving Time, the pilot of a Zenith Zodiac 601 was conducting stall recovery training approximately 16 kilometres east of Temora Airport. At approximately 6000 feet, during a stall recovery, a bag containing tie down equipment dislodged from its stored position. The bag subsequently broke through the canopy of the aircraft before grazing the rudder and falling to the ground.
The flight continued without further incident and the pilot landed the aircraft safely at Temora Airport. The aircraft operator informed that ATSB that the bag punched a hole, approximately 400 millimetres in diameter, in the canopy of the aircraft causing damage to the leading edge of the rudder.
