  • 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).

  • 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 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.

Air freighting of perishable agribusiness products: Process and issues ___________________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) At Lincoln University By Benjamin Bowie ___________________________________________________________________________ 2018 Supervised by: Dr Sharon Forbes Abstract In 2017 New Zealand’s export revenue from the primary industry sector reached $38.101b, meaning that over half of the country’s export revenue was produced through the agribusiness sector. Within this sector there has also been substantial growth in the production of perishable products in New Zealand including produce, meat and seafood. Such growth not only illustrates the increase in demand for New Zealand agribusiness products, but also generates problems for supply chains. With a significant proportion of these products being perishable, and the trend of agribusiness exports increasing, there is significant reliability on effective and efficient transportation and handling in order to reach customers in export markets in optimal time and quality. Air freighting is the most feasible mode of transport for these perishable products as it provides a suitable timeframe for perishable goods in transit, therefore the goods are limited to a short amount of time in less than optimal conditions.

  • Rebuttal Comments to the PWC / Air New Zealand Application for Pilots
    The PwC/Air New Zealand application for Aeroplane Pilot to be included on the Immediate Skills Shortage list Submission by GAA The General Aviation Advocacy Group of New Zealand August 9 2013 1 Contents Summary of the GAA position Part 1 - Rebuttal of Air New Zealand's Supporting Information List of New Zealand Air Carriers Part 2 - In pursuit of a career in aviation Evidence and opinion from co-submitters Pilot data from the GAA survey Background to the lead submitter List of co-submitters Australian ATSB Pilot Experience Study 2013 Acknowledgements 2 Summary of the GAA position This submission by the General Aviation Advocacy Group of New Zealand to the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment opposes the application by PricewaterhouseCoopers, on behalf of Air New Zealand, to have “Aeroplane Pilot” added to the ESID lists and requests preservation of the status quo. GAA and its supporters reject the applicants' claim that “The New Zealand Aviation industry is experiencing a pilot shortage of significant proportions” In this submission, we seek to establish that the application must be rejected because it does not meet the criteria, and no such skills shortage has been proved. For the application to succeed, it must meet several important criteria, which PwC and Air New Zealand have failed to do. They must show, among other things, that: The shortage is not employer-specific There is evidence of employers having difficulty employing staff (note our emphasis on the plural) The shortage must be across all geographic regions in New Zealand It must be a current shortage, not an anticipated one There must be an ongoing and sustained (absolute) shortage, both globally and in New Zealand.

  • Aviation Security Cabinet Paper
    Office of the Minister of Transport Chair Cabinet Policy Committee Response to 8 February 2008 Hijack Attempt Proposal 1. This paper recommends the committee agree that, in response to the attempted hijacking on 8 February 2008, officials undertake a feasibility study on whether flight-deck barriers can be fitted to smaller aircraft, increase training requirements of airline and airport staff, and undertake a thorough review of domestic aviation security. Executive Summary 2. In response to the attempted hijack of a regional passenger aircraft on 8 February 2008, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), New Zealand Police (Police) and Aviation Security Service (Avsec) have conducted a preliminary review of domestic aviation security systems. 3. It has been found that while the existing aviation security systems are basically sound, there are vulnerabilities in the system. These are the lack of flight-deck barriers in small regional aircraft, and lack of passenger screening at regional airports. These vulnerabilities were well known but have now been exploited and given more public exposure. The threat of this type of event re- occurring has not changed. 4. Increased security for aircraft between 19 and 89 seats would involve significant cost, and would have significant implications for airlines, airports, and regional passengers. The full extent of these implications has not yet been assessed. 5. I recommend that the committee agree to three immediate measures. These are: a. Increased aviation security training requirements for airport and airline staff; b. A feasibility study on adding flight-deck barriers to small aircraft; c. A thorough review of domestic aviation security, reporting back to the committee by 21 May 2008.
