CPL Training in NZ

[dstone]

Hi Guys,

Irish man heading to NZ in July for approx 6-7 months. I have a FAA PPL (H) with around 60 hrs R22 and 10Hrs R44.

Now that im heading there i thought i might try and get my CPL.

So now the questions:

1. Any suggestions of an Operator?
2. Cost of CPL in NZ? (70hrs or so already completed)
3. Time needed to successfully complete it?
4. Craic? :}

Any responses would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

;) Hi ya

If your looking at training it depends on where you want to be North or South island,Ful time ground school for cpl is about nine weeks i think ,and expect to pay between $400-450 hr all really depends on where you want to fly but even with 70 hours or so it will pretty much take you 6-7 months to get your cpl now that your heading into winter downunder.;) Changing your Faa ppl should be to much of a problem prob just an air law exam and a flight test. Have a look at Nelson aviation college or Ardmore flight training for ground school start dates.Sorry been a while since i left N.Z but try having a look at training in N.Z on the search here.
