In the UK, there is a document called the CAP 14 which details radio phraseology. In Australia, the AIP lists the local requirements.
Does anyone know the reference for standard radio phraseology in New Zealand. The NZ AIP on the web does not seem to contain this information. What reference do NZ pilots and controllers use?

You're getting close,

but you need to understand that as there are no vowels in Kiwi English, wherevever a vowel occurs in UK English,US English, or even Ozzie English,

in NZ speak one simply substitutes an apostrophe, i.e. wherever "a" "e" "i" 'o" or "u" appears in normal English, just insert " ' "

Hence, you are close with fish, "fush", but it is really pronounced "f'sh", similarly tent, pronounced "t'nt" etc.

The word "Six" is often very confusing, sometimes sounding like sex, sometimes sux, but if you can remember the syntax, it is really "s ' x"

At one time it was considered a good idea to hand Kiwi's a packet containing the five vowels and suggestions on their useage when they first registered with Centre Link, but the idea was abandoned.

Hi. youre looking for Advisory Circular AC91-9

Go to www.caa.govt.nz go to the rules&more section. under Current rules click on Advisory circulars (AC). then, under Part 91 – General Operating and Flight Rules, click on Radiotelephony Manual (244 KB) and there you have it.

Ridiculous isn't it. Anyone with a good command (that's a long, soft, 'a' fellas) of the English language should be able to isolate the sharp, obnoxious twang only found in the Australian accent.

Er, that would be CAP 413 a publication guaranteed to cure insomnia. :bored: ;) Air Law books make thrilling reading in comparison with it.
