I really don't know what the fuss is about. The licencing of aerodromes and provision of all these exciting services is a strange British disease.
While I was in New Zealand I flew from Wanaka. No radio except safetycom equivalent, no approach procedures worth a damn.
However there was a regular commercial flight to Christchurch flown by a pleasant young lady. She turned up and announced herself, joined the traffic pattern, unloaded her passengers and their luggage. Reloaded and departed with similar formalities.
As long as we all follow the convetions and announce what we're doing on the correct frequency, where's the problem?
