O that will be cool cause I also have my Hong Kong Licence which requires at least 5 hours of instrument so that should be fine. Thanks for your info and I should plan about my NZ flying vacation!!!

Thanks a lot guys for the info, what I mean by exploring the world with a c172 is just to rent a cessna in different countries and fly within there instead. That sounds like I can simply apply for the NZ validation and rent a cessna in NZ without doing any formal theory tests? Just a company check ride will do? That is really awesome!!

But I guess it isn't easy to rent an Aussie plane say in NZ, right?

Hi all, I have just gotten my Australian PPL and wondering if I could exercise my licence out of the country coz I am actually from Hong Kong and would love to explore the world with a C172. Is there anyone who could share your experience of flying in other parts of the world? Probably South East Asia? Eddie

Thanks a lot Downunder and fly_tornado, is there any flight schools that you would recommend? Do you think the North Queensland Aero Club is a good school?

Hi ALL, I am a new PPL from Hong Kong and planning to come to Australia in July and August to try clear out my cross-country restriction since Hong Kong is too small to do cross-country flights and we cannot fly across the border. Anyone can recommend me the places with better flying weather in the Australian winter time? I am planning to go to Tasmania, would it be ok in July and August?
