  • RASMAG/17−WP30 28-31/8/2012 International Civil Aviation
    RASMAG/17−WP30 28-31/8/2012 International Civil Aviation Organization The 17th Meeting of the Regional Airspace Safety Monitoring Advisory Group (RASMAG/17) Bangkok, Thailand, 28 – 31 August 2012 Agenda Item 5: Airspace Safety Monitoring Activities/Requirements in the Asia/Pacific Region PARMO RVSM LTHM BURDEN ESTIMATE UPDATE (Presented by PARMO) SUMMARY This working paper provides an assessment of the monitoring burden associated with the Long Term Height Monitoring (LTHM) requirements for airframes for which the Pacific Approvals Registry And Monitoring Organization (PARMO) is the responsible Regional Monitoring Agency (RMA) as observed in the PARMO approval database as of 31 July 2012. An estimate of the airframes remaining to be monitored in advance of November 2012 is provided. Strategic Objectives: A: Safety – Enhance global civil aviation safety Global Plan Initiatives: GPI-2 Reduced vertical separation minima GPI-8 Collaborative airspace design and management 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 As a result of the amendments made to Annex 6 concerning global RVSM long-term monitoring requirements, APANPIRG/18 tasked Asia/Pacific RMAs in conjunction with RASMAG to prepare a regional impact statement to estimate consequences for each State in the Asia/Pacific Region, including the anticipated monitoring burden. 1.2 For RASMAG/11 PARMO prepared an estimate of its own monitoring burden using December 2008 traffic sample data (TSD), . Combined with the same information from the other Asia/Pacific RMA’s, the ASIA/PACIFIC REGIONAL IMPACT STATEMENT (reference 1) was developed by RASMAG and endorsed by APANPIRG/20 in September 2009. 1.3 At RASMAG/16, it was decided that “All RMAs should develop monitoring burden tables using the format presented in WP17 and provide this information to RASMAG17, and on an on-going basis” (reference 2) to maintain the current standing of the region’s monitoring burden in relation to the November 2012 deadline set forth in Annex 6.

  • Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021
    Tour Club Leisure Guide 2021 Issue No. 17 | 1 Welcome to Bay Tours & Charters Leisure Guide As I write this, and we head into Christmas and the holiday season it’s hard not to reflect on what has been a difficult year for all of us. Not too many of us will be sorry to see the back of 2020. From a business perspective, there’s never been a more difficult time to be in the tourism industry. The international visitors are no longer here and who knows when they’ll be back. No more cruise ships stopping at Napier until further notice. And whilst some may say “Thank goodness for that. No more traffic nightmares in central Napier, no more hordes of people up Te Mata Peak!” the reality is that thousands of households in Hawke’s Bay rely on the income generated by tourism and a very significant chunk of that has simply disappeared. Napier, in particular, has relied heavily on tourism for decades and whilst the international visitors are no longer currently here, Kiwis have returned to Hawke’s Bay in droves and I suspect this summer, visitations to the region will have more of a family feel. Here at Bay Tours, whilst we certainly haven’t been immune to the huge drop in overseas visitors, we’re thankful for the continued success of the Tour Club. It has been truly heartening to look back at the last 6 months and recall how enthusiastically members responded to our first tentative steps to get out and about again after the lockdown.

  • Services at Holy Trinity
    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 over 80 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 17,250 in June 2020. In the 2018 census the main ethnic breakdown of the Tasman Region was European (92.6%), Maori (8.7%), Asian (2.8%) and Pacific (1.6%). (These figures exceed 100% as people can associate with more than one ethnic group). Due both to an increasing influx of retirees and the ageing population Tasman District’s older residents (65+) are predicted to rise from 21% in 2018 to 32% in 20 years.

The strategy, dubbed the “Flightpath for Growth” and unveiled in late March, is the culmination of an extensive review process initiated by chief executive Simon Moutter and his new leadership team. The plan recognises that the world has changed significantly over the past year and the operating environment for the airport is now a lot tougher than it has been for many years. “We can no longer rely on relentless increases in passenger volumes to drive the growth we’ve enjoyed over the previous decade. Now, passenger numbers are falling, our airline partners are hurting and we are sharing More resources will be applied to route development, that pain along with everyone else in the travel and tourism tourism promotion and air cargo services as well.
