TTMRA a joke?!
The Licence (NZ ATPL) I received does not have any expiry date on it. How will an operator ever know if it is expired or not ?
Is there some actual info from the NZ CAA on their website regarding this. Nothing I remember reading mentioned a five year expiry!

Slice it's something along the lines of your law exam being valid only for 5 years if you are not exercising the privileges of said licence. I believe this is the case for an inactive CPL holder also, the fulla will have to resit the law exam current at the time if he has not used his CPL privileges in previous 5 years.
Not gospel. I stand to be corrected.

Get this.
I applied when TTMRA was pretty new. The fed handling it did not like the idea of TTMRA and refused to issue the license on that basis.
Fortunately, the folks that dreamed up the scheme foresaw this kind of idiot in their own system and engineered a way around them. Find a solid reason as to why not to issue within 30 days or license is deemed as issued....

The usual childish immature remarks above. Grow up.
The cost of the TTMRA NZ-Oz is unfair if the figures above are right. I, like one of the posters above, have a NZ ATPL issued by sending them my Oz one. Cost me NZD$110.
Should be much the same each way.

Hi Centaurus,
seeing that my experience with the Flight Crew Licensing people at CAA NZ has got off to a blinder, can you (or anyone else) advise me how you can keep the NZ licence valid?
Do you actually have to fly commercially in NZ or is it as I had the impression before reading your post that simply conducting a NZ commercial medical with a CAA NZ approved DAME would suffice and if so, can that be done in Oz or elsewhere?
Also, do you have to do your subsequent IFR renewals in NZ or can you continue doing Australian renewals and keep the NZ IFR alive that way?
Doing two separate sets of renewals in Oz and NZ each year wasn't something I bargained on cost-wise and hope that's not the case!
I was aware that TTMRA conversion is a one-off so now I have it, I don't want it to lapse.
The other scary thought is, if I started working in NZ, what would happen to my Oz quals in the meantime if I didn't do my subsequent renewals in Oz (IFR and medical)?
Can anyone shed some light here?
TJ
p.s. By the way, I am in complete agreement with the concept that reciprocal licensing should be just that. The same from one country to the next (including fees). Isn't that what ICAO is meant to be about - you know, standardisation of aviation regulation throughout the world?
Unfortunately, it's pixie-land stuff 'cos the world is just very bloody different and full of inconsistencies.
Sigh. I think I'll go have that drink now ......
