NZ Flying School Christchurch
Hey Guys,
I was reading in the Christchurch press jobs about NZ Flying School reopeniong at the end of the year and needing new instructors. This was orignally located at wigram and had to move when wigram was taken over as it is moari land. Has anyone got any information on this. I can't find anything. I'm curius to know where the airfield is that it will be flying from. cheers |
Haven't heard anything but most likely Rangiora which is where they set up briefly after Wigram closed.
|
Don't think they have any building options at RT anymore.
IMHO more likely to see the local BIG school there than a reborn CFS. |
From a private strip according to the ad.

I dont know where it is but I do know it's not Darfield

Darfield is certainly long enough but the set up costs would be huge. Building, power, water, sewerage, resource consent for building and operating a flight school....there's more private strips around canterbury than you could shake a stick at but I can't think of any off the top of my head that would support a flying school. West Melton's out as the club runs it so it would be a conflict of interest. Some guy has subdivided his block of land into a bundle of sections and flicking them off as an ''air park'' at Fernside which has got all the locals up in arms and trying to put a stop to it. Forest Field has a finite number of take off and landings per year, Hororata where the gliders operate have been given a certain number of takeoffs per week or year due to the locals grumbling so if its not Rangiora its going to have to be in the middle of nowwhere.

Be interested in a link to the advertised position, my searches turn up zilch:eek:

Hmm, observational skills are a bit lacking here...
Adverts have been for "The NZ School of Flying" which is not "The New Zealand Flying School" (ex CFS), I imagine the choice/similarity of name was deliberate. A little sleuthing has revealed the person behind the operation, and I'm aware of at least one private strip owner that has apparently been approached by this same person. I've my view on the likely outcome of this but in the interests of acknowledging that a person may just show their true entrepreneurial & organisational ability given half a chance I'll keep that view to myself.

Hororata where the gliders operate have been given a certain number of takeoffs per week or year due to the locals grumbling Besides it's a marginal field when the displaced thresholds are taken into account. I'm a member of the Glding Club at Horo and the only "restriction" that I'm aware of is that only aircraft involved in the gliding operation may operate there. No maximum t/o's & ldg's etc... S2K |

Good on you Sherlock, all I asked for was a link to an advert

I agree with FP(for once)
sounds like a load of bollox to me and would be very surprised if anything actually got off the ground... |
Good on you Sherlock, all I asked for was a link to an advert I think you will find that most were responding to the original post which quite clearly says I agree with FP(for once) FP. |
