New Zealand is famous for its stunning scenery, and you'll see plenty of that in this episode of Back to Base, but you'll also learn what it's like to be a pilot there. JP explains the charts and the airspace, then takes you to one of his favorite airports. Along the way, he lands on a beach - something that is very much allowed in New Zealand.

I spent 30+ years in the U.K. and 25+ years in Australia, but New Zealand still feels like ‘home’. Great videos!

I used to live in waiuku probably not to far from where you live. I'm just starting out really only got 20hrs total over the years. But seriously focusing on finishing my license hopefully by next year 😊

Always nice to see a new JP video regardless of what channel it’s posted on. Though the beautiful summer comment had me cursing a little as the temperature here is far below freezing with a snowstorm bearing down...!

Excellent. Thank you.

Awesome video guys!

We had a similar, spectacular experience on South Island with the great people of FlyInn New Zealand. Can't wait for this miserable pandemic to be over to do it again!!! If you're a US pilot, it's well worth the 16 hour airline flight to get there!!!

Imagine getting a flat tire on the beach lol, great video!

JP, awesome flight, but I'd like to know more about that airplane and circle tattoo on your left arm.

which app is that with the VFR sectionals on it ?

@ropataparaone5571 2 года назад

Nice video, remember to keep your eyes outside as much as possible, you flew long periods with your eyes on your IPad, Aviate - navigate - communicate. Fly safe.

Is it a big deal to cross between main islands?

@FeguerFineArt 2 года назад

Great video, so inspiring! I want to get my license someday but I'm getting old.

How far are you from Tokoroa Aerodrome?

@sam04019491 Месяц назад

I thought you had to use an AIP published aerodrome, unless you have permission to operator at a non-published aerodrome by the land owner. I also thought you are not allowed to fly lower than 500’ over a non-built up area (excluding certain CTO conditions). I couldn’t find anywhere where it states that landing on a beach or public road is acceptable (in an non-emergency situation). Can you please advise where this exists in the law.

is it too windy to fly a small plane in NZ?

@joshmaddren4088 10 месяцев назад

No I've flown seaters c152, and a couple different microlights over here

@bernhardkadenbach1739 3 года назад

Sirrius 3000???

@erniekelly2479 3 года назад

What aircraft is that? A Tecnam? It looks like a 3/4 scale Cessna 182...

@ptpost16 3 года назад

Not a Tecnam P2008... but I'd like to know what it is!?

@ptpost16 3 года назад

Looks like Jabiru J-230

@erniekelly2479 3 года назад

@@ptpost16 Thanks. Good eye. We don't have too many Jabirus in the states, it wasn't even on my guess list. Nice looking, capable aircraft.

Where would you suggest a YANKEE from the USA could obtain enough knowledge to safely fly both VFR & IFR in NZ. Where else in the world are you Licensed? Great Vid Bro.
