    In this Issue: Kaikoura Fly-in Farewell to the Iroquois Flying to Mount Cook Mayday, Mayday, Mayday Club facilities for visitors JULY 2015 Warbirds Over Wanaka 2016 July 2015 Magazine Editor’s Letter – Magazine format, benefits of a club The new magazine format and name was generally well received. Last month’s bumper issue was a result of some very good input by CRAC members and others. I aim for little improvements every month, but the next step may involve a move away from Microsoft Word as the content editor. It seems that 24 pages of text boxes and images gets quite clunky, it can take hours to reformat after changing something near the beginning of the document! All good fun though, and it’s a very satisfying job when it is done. I doubt that we will hit 24 pages every time. The centrefold hasn’t gained any comments but I enjoy doing it. It also adds a couple of extra pages which saves my old fingers a little typing. To have a centrefold the total number of pages must be evenly divisible . by four, which makes it interesting. This is because the printed versions should have the centrefold smack in the middle for it to make sense. If the nearly finished product has (say) 19 pages, the centrefold takes it to 21 so I have to find 3 more pages of content or reduce it to 20. It’s all a learning experience! I aim to keep the content relevant to the club, but it’s not always going to be Microlight/LSA related.

She was towed to the western end of the base and used for spares until the war ended. Recovery & restoration The remains of A29-448 were recovered from Tadji by Charles Darby in 1973. In the 1990's she was rebuilt by Pioneer Aero Restorations in Auckland.

  • Civil Aviation Rule Part 125 Update Agency Disclosure Statement

    Civil Aviation Rule Part 125 Update Agency Disclosure Statement

    Regulatory Impact Statement Civil Aviation Rule Part 125 Update Agency Disclosure Statement This Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared by the Ministry of Transport (the Ministry), with assistance from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). It provides an analysis of options to address the safety risk associated with commercial passenger operations in medium sized aeroplanes (10-29 passenger seats), which are currently subject to less stringent operating requirements than larger aeroplanes (30 or more passenger seats), and to achieve compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and recommended practices. The preferred option is to raise the operating standards for medium sized aeroplanes by amending Civil Aviation Rule Part 125, which governs commercial air transport in medium sized aeroplanes. It is reasonable to assume that higher operating standards will improve the level of safety afforded to passengers on medium sized aeroplanes. However, due to the minor and technical nature of the amendments, and a lack of relevent safety data for medium and large sized aeroplanes, the underlying risks and expected safety benefits are difficult to quantify. The proposed Rule amendment would impose compliance costs on operators of medium aeroplanes. Operators wishing to conduct extended over water operations1 will be required to train staff in aircraft ditching procedures, estimated at an initial cost of $7,500 per two person flight crew, with annual refresher training estimated at approximately $600 per crew member. Other compliance costs will arise where operators are required (if necessary) to amend their expositions2 ($400-$800 per operator), or amend their operations specifications (approximately $1,000 for each of the two operators affected).

    RICHMOND PARISH PROFILE WHO ARE WE? We are a committed group of Christians who endeavour to make our church a welcoming church to all. Many visitors have favourably commented on the friendly welcome they receive among us. We are in an evangelical diocese and most of our congregation tend in that direction. There are, however, a number of parishioners with a more liberal theology. Our focus tends towards what unites us rather than what we disagree on. We are a predominantly older congregation with a small number of children and very few members in the 20-40 age group bracket. We value our evangelical, Anglican heritage which does provide a unique flavour to the Richmond church scene. Our two Sunday morning services attract just under 100 people to our wooden church on the hill near the centre of the Richmond township. WHERE ARE WE? Although Richmond is geographically close to Nelson, it is administered by the Tasman District Council (www.tasman.govt.nz) which has its main council offices in Richmond. Richmond is a thriving, growing centre for the rural townships to the south and the west. The population was estimated to be 15,500 in 2016. In the 2013 census the predominant ethnic group in the Tasman Region was European, with over 90%. Less than 1% of NZ Maori live in the Tasman Region. Due both to an increasing influx of retirees and the ageing population Tasman District’s older residents are predicted to rise from just under a quarter now to a third in 20 years.
