Thanks Leadsled for the info, that stuff is excellent in terms of the operational side! Indeed I would expect permission is required from CAA of NZ prior to going there and flying around with an Aussie licence and A/C, I'm sure CASA won't have much issue as its just a private aircraft leaving and coming back. Hmm definately don't want to pay GST on the plane (is that even possible?). In terms of the fuel, I hold a BP carnet card and its my impression that this is widely available in NZ in terms of fuel bowsers. I have heard that the carnet cards don't work with the pumps though? Are you aware if Australian ASIC cards would suffice to go airside over there? Especially at the Intl.Airports. Also when contacting the RPT ops overhead for positional reports do you just use inter-pilot air 123.45 or simply 121.5 to get their attention?
Thanks again for the info guys!
