Sorry to revive an old thread but does anyone have recent experience of visiting NZ and obtaining a validation of a UK PPL? (or a US private).
Obviously this requires an NZ BFR, but does it also require mountain training since this is apparently part of the NZ syllabus but not of course in the UK training? (They state that your licence has to meet or exceed NZ requirements).
How long does it take to get the validation issued once you complete the BFR?
Any other 'gotchas'?
Many thanks in anticipation.
