New Calidonia Licence

Hi Guys

I cant for the life of my find out what licence is required in new calidonia.
I have a New Zealand license .

Im sure someone knows

cheers

Try Google. But you will have to spell Calidonia correctly.

Hint..... It's a French Pacific Territory!

i may just be missing something but i cant find any reference to it - is it just a french license?

You need a JAA or EASA licence.

From memory it is the DGAC that sort you out with a conversion of type (PPL).

I had a CPL at the time and did not have too much trouble in getting checked out by the aeroclub (although you will need to know a little bit of french to get by).... it is a pricey part of the world but truly magnifique....

The DGAC is located on the RPT side of the airport to the north by about 300-400 meters.... Be sure to take all your paperwork with you - the french love that stuff...

There are a couple of Kiwi-Aus guys there who are bi-citizens with a 44 and a GA8... there is also a skydiving group with a 210 too....

I have lost contact with a lot of the people there, but it is surely some good times.... maybe when I make a bit more money and get out of GA I will go back for the pleasure again.

Best of luck // Bon Chance
