FAA biannual review & aircraft rental in New Zealand?
Hi, I am currently stationed in Antarctica working with the National Science Foundation, but will be redeploying to Christchurch soon and spending a couple of weeks. Internet speeds here are slow and it is difficult to do any real research online. I am hoping someone might be able to tell me if there are any locations on the South Island where I could get my biennial flight review done, and subsequently rent an aircraft for scenic flights. Thanks for any help - Brian

Do a biennial review, that way it's every two years.

I have rented at the Canterbury Aeroclub for a few times already. It is a bit more pricey, but if you buy 20 hours you may be able to make a 10% discounted deal. The good thing there has been that they have several aircraft. If one breaks, you'll have a good chance to get another one. Last time (in 2015) I paid 225 NZD per hour, all inclusive.
You wrote that you have an FAA licence. I guess you will have to get a validation, which is pretty easy and straight forward. http://www.caa.govt.nz/pilots/Flight...ition_Info.pdf Short term validation of overseas flight crew licences 1. A current PPL, CPL or ATPL issued by the licensing authority of an ICAO member state may be recognised for the issue of a NZ Validation Permit . A Validation Perm it is not a pilot licence but a short term document, which facilitates the exercise of overseas flight crew licence privileges in NZ regis tered aircraft . A n overseas pilot licence will only be considered for validation to an equivalent or lower level of NZ licence. All applicants are required to meet the ICAO English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements . ELP to at least ICAO level 4 must be endorsed on each applicant’s overseas licence. 2. The successful completion of a NZ Biennial Flight Review is a pre -requisite to the issue of a validation permit for visiting pilots intending to engage in private flying activities under visual flight rules (VFR) in NZ . A pplication for a NZ PPL Validation Permit should be made using form CAA 24061/18. 3. Each Validation Permit will specify a maximum validity period of six month s. However, t his period will not ex tend beyond the expiry date of the applicants overseas licenc e or medical certificate under any circumstance s. 4. If the privileges of an overseas licence presented for validation exceed those permitted by the NZ Civil Aviation Rules , the NZ rule requirements will take precedence. Each NZ Validation Permit will clearly specify all privileges that have been granted and show any appropriate limitations. 5. Overseas type ratings held at the time of application for a NZ Validation Permit will be endorsed on the permit if required, provided that the type is listed in the NZ civil aircraft register. It is not possible to add any type rating to a NZ Validation Permit if the applicant does not already hold the applicable type rating overseas . 6. A NZ medical examination is not required for the issue of a NZ Validation Permit ; applicants must produce appropriate and unexpired ove rseas medical certification. 7. Any person who has been denied the issue of a NZ pilot licence or medical certificate is not eligible for t he issue of a NZ Validation Permit . 8. Validation permits granting commercial privileges will not be issued to overseas CP L or ATPL holders who intend undertaking commercial operations in NZ unless they produce a letter written by t he principal of a certificated NZ aviation organization confirming their employment . 9. Overseas CPL holders seeking the initial issue of a NZ Valid ation Permit to undertake VFR operations in NZ a irspace are generally required to pass a NZ CPL Air Law written examination. 10. Applicants who hold an overseas CPL and an instrument rating, who intend operating under IFR in NZ airspace, are generally require d to pass both NZ CPL Air Law and NZ Instrument Rating Air Law written examinations. 11. Applicants who hold an overseas ATPL who wish to exercise the privileges of an ATPL in NZ airspace are generally required to pass an NZ ATPL Air Law written examination. 12. Persons who are required to hold a Validation Permit to conduct ferry flights from NZ to overseas destinations in NZ registered aircraft , or to undertake specific tasks such as flying at a NZ air show or to operate NZ registered aircraft on international operations between overseas countries are not generally required to pass a NZ air law examination . 13. Although a Validation Permit is not a renewable document, previous certificate holders may apply for a new certificate if the need arises. Where appropr iate, p rovided that a period of not more than five years has elapsed since the applicant gained their NZ air law exam credit, a resit of this examination will not be required. 14. Applicants seeking a NZ validation permit are required to have flight experienc e that is at least equivalent to that prescribed for the appropriate level of NZ licence . . That is, for a validation that grants PPL privileges, applicants must have the equivalent of all the NZ PPL minimum flight experience requirements, including dual instrument instruction, PPL weather and terrain aware ness and so on. The same principles apply at CPL and ATPL level . 15. Prior to undertaking commercial flight crew duties in NZ, persons holding a NZ Validation Permit at CPL or ATPL level must complete all appropriate competency checks within the training and checking system of the company concerned. 16. Application for a NZ CPL or ATPL Validation Permit should be made using form CAA 24061/19 . 17. Completed a pplication paperwork for all validation permits should be submitted to : Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand PO Box 3555, Wellington 6140 NEW ZEALAND |

Hey guys,
I need a FAA CFI instructor in New Zealand to do a BFR flight with. I hold a FAA PPL which is not current and I need to do a BFR flight. I'll be in New Zealand from 15th June. Anybody knows a FAA CFI in New Zealand who can do a BFR flight with me please mail me your contact details on akhilsharma910 dot gmail dot com. Please mail its very urgent. |
I have messaged an FAA CFI I know in South island.

Words have meaning
BFR Using the proper term avoids the possible mistake of "biannual" (twice per year) vs. "biennial" (every second year). I shouldn't be too pedantic on a forum where I don't normally post; I want to spend a Christmas holiday in NZ one year soon and ditto for Australia one year. I'll need advice when the time comes! |
