the pencil pusher in NZ want the slice of revenue too.
Just did my Medical here in NZ.
$313 dollars to CAA NZ prior to seeing the doctor.
$460 for Doctor , had ECG and bloods this yr so a bit more than usual.
and on CAA NZ fees , massive increase in their hourly fee for Audits etc.
bloody costly to run an small certified aviation business in NZ. costs double if say Part 141 and 135 or 115 certified , different team to come check each manual on the book shelf.
