Guest Pioneer200 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi , heres a few photos from my cross country today For those that know NZ the flight was Ashburton to Omarama(gliding capital of the world) Cruised between 4,500 and 6,500 feet there and back. Stunning scenery as you will see, the big mountain is the mighty MT COOK ENJOY!!!

skyfox99 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Great photos of NZ. What is the requirment for flying RAA type aircraft in NZ?

planedriver Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Stunning pictures, thanks for posting them for us to enjoy. Hope that J160 had a heater, or you had thermal underwear. Rgds Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pioneer200 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Re requirements for raa aircraft in NZ I honestly do not know Possibly, maybe check out flight and type rating by a NZ microlight instructor??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pioneer200 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Heater worked ok, bloody drafts round doors cancelled out all the heat from heater Destination Omarama had approx -6 degree frost that morning, freezing level was 5000ft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
