Dual flights - our qualified NZ instructors can accompany you on any scenic flights or cross country flights you may want to do while in NZ, assisting you and teach you about operating amongst NZ terrain and airspace.
Alternatively, we can offer you a foreign licence validation. Some of the key points to note:
- Valid for a maximum of 6 months
- Requires terrain awareness/mountain flying experience to PPL level (this is a requirement of the NZ flight training syllabus)
- Requires a flight test with an A or B category flight instructor in an aircraft that you already hold a type rating in
- You will need copies of your overseas licence, medical, logbook pages providing evidence of type of aircraft flown, evidence of terrain awareness/mountain flying experience to PPL level
- Evidence of Aviation Language Proficiency to Level 4
