First post here

I am sure there are similar posts such as this on the thread,but just point me to the post if one exists

Currently I have a PPL fixed wing license endorsed by the South African CAA. We are moving to NZ Christchurch in November this year. I hope to complete my PPL(H) before I reach NZ. I will most likely complete my CPL(h) with Garden City Helicopters.

What is the best way to build my hours and experience to a point where I could be gainfully employed as a Helicopter Pilot in NZ. (Ideally I would like to fly in the Rescue,or Law enforcement roles)

Any suggestions welcome.
(And give up,too many pilots here already, is not an option )

Regards

Basil

PS. What is the Fixed wing industry like in NZ?
