| You need a NZ PPL validation
to be able to fly as Pilot in Command here in New Zealand.
To qualify for this, you will need to have a PPL or higher
license, issued by a member state of ICAO. Your license
must be current, and valid for use in your home country. i.e.
you must have a current medical and have undergone a Biennial
Flight Review (BFR) - check ride - in your home country.
Both these documents need to remain valid for the time frame
of your NZ Validation.
An instrument rating is not needed and we do not fly IFR.
However, you need to have at least 5 hrs simulated instrumenttraining
as this is a requirement for a NZ PPL. NZ CAA also
require that you have flown / have a rating on the same type
of aircraft that you will fly here in New Zealand.
The process for Validation of your License is organised
through Flyinn. You will receive the necessary paperwork
prior to your arrival. By completing this and sending
it back to us, we then submit it to our Aviation Authority
in readiness for your arrival. On your arrival you
will have a thorough briefing, and check ride (BFR) with
one of our friendly and experienced Instructors. Once
this has been completed, your application can then be processed,
and license issued.
For mountain and back-country flying Flyinn Tours will provide
a personal host and guide to travel with you in the aircraft. This
is to enable you to explore our most interesting locations
with complete enjoyment and safety.
