Hi aeronautical people!
I'm currently seeking for an flying adventure.
Looking for a nice school or Aircraft owner for me to flight over New Zealand. I possess an Australian Comercial Pilot license.
My intentions are filming the hole experience(adaptation, planning, getting the NZ pilot license converted) and the flight it self!
Thanks, all the best!:D:O
google up a flight school out of Ardmore , North Shore, Taupo.?? Sure to be an aircraft available someplace.
VERY spectacular country to have a look at but make sure you talk to a few folk who can brief you about mountain flying and the very variable islands weather.
Or better still get into the high country with a mountain pilot instructor to show you the ropes. Trust you appreciate "rivet testing" !!
Fly safe.

Over Australia, I took lesson over Bankstown airport.
A School called Basair, too big, didn't get much attention.
End up over a small school "whitworth aviation", the owner was one of the pilots, better aircrafts, services, prices and a friendly environment.
The school up Ardmore, the website is below, sounds a lot like Basair to me.

Job wise guys, do you know how is the market in NZ? I have European licences and am planning on moving to NZ next year. Is this utopian?
If you have just a licence without any other flight time, join the queue with all the other newbies.
If you have some experience then you may be OK.
You will have to have the right to work here.
You will need to convert your licence. Unless you have some worthwhile experience on your licence you will likely need to sit the theory papers and the flight tests for the licences/ratings you wish to convert.

I have some experience yes. On my way to transfer my ATPL and have the right to work here. But in the Business Aviation is there any work at all? Or is it mainly airline?
