NZ vs Ozzie differences

[gadude]

I was thinking off a tread regarding the difference in NZ and Ozzie law and any other thing we can come up with, to benefit those who will go across the tasman.

We now know not to join base in aussie.
Flying odd numbers plus 500 and even and 500 going east west headings vs the same in NZ going north south etc.

And the read back to ATC including the QNH in NZ were in OZ all you tell them that you have info delta or what ever it might be.

any other suggestions?

cheers

I'm sure there was a great thread about this in the last few months, can't seem to find it though! Perhaps someone with better searching skills than I can find it!

no need to read back QNH in NZ either just info Delta etc

[MACH082]

We say 'six' they say 'sux'

Na thats not right, QNH is a read-back item in NZ.

[solowflyer]

Used to say that it was but can not find any refrence to say it is

Biggest difference I can think of is Australia now has Robbie Deans

[mr.tos]

We say 'six' they say 'sux'

Which sounds a 'weeeeeeeee' little bit like 'sex'

[glekichi]

Robbie Deans... and we still cant win

I started a thread identical to this, as mentioned, about a month or two ago.

The title might not have been as obvious as it could have been.

Dangrous Goods

You have to have a dangerou goods awareness certificate in Australia regardless of whether you are to carry dangerous gods when flying commercial missions whereas I dont think it is the case in NZ

[BrokenConrod]

Kiwi chicks have fatter ankles than Aussie chicks!

NZ has the Bledisloe, Australia doesn't.

Choice bro'!

[peuce]

Kiwis say "Ozzie"
We say "Aussie"

[Maggott17]

There are no lambswool seat covers in NZ registered aircraft.

Have to admit I haven't looked through the phraseology section lately but everyone reads it back and if you don't ATC will ask you for the read-back.
Another important difference is that when you order a tap beer in NZ they pour it well. Here in Aus they dip the nozzle right into the beer for the last bit. Drives me nuts.

[russianthru_thesky]

L&P and Watties Tomato sauce can be found in plentiful supply in any NZ Fish and Chip (not to be mistaken with feesh and cheep) shop, wheras it tends to be more of a rarity in Aussietralia

[Fragnasty]

Marmite wins hands down over Vegemite.

[Mr.Buzzy]

Kiwis work for peanuts.

bbbbbbbbzzzzzzzbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzz

[framer]

Too true mr buzzy, pay packets are definately a bit thinner in NZ.
One thing that I've noticed since moving to Aus is the poor customer service in retail here. Clothes shops, service stations, restaurants, you name it, average as.

[solowflyer]

not to mention the backward thinking especially in WA ie daylight savings and 7 day trading
