Hi Paul

 

Are you saying you have not seen any ATC in NZ?

 

Well there is, so I would suggest you watch Servinfo more closely and join in when we are there. Tuesday and Sunday evenings are the best nights.

 

Hope to see you soon

I see you now live in France....you sure do get around.

 

I did not know you were looking for property down this side of the globe. Good luck with that.

 

It was so nice to meet you and yes, I am still with Air New Zealand and loving it.

 

Have applied for Cabin Crew with Freedom Airlines ( the budget airline for Air NZ). They have accepted my application and now am waiting for them to start recruiting out of Christchurch.

 

Take care

Hey im a kiwi too!!! ATC in NZ is rare, but there is a few dedicateds that do it. Sunday nights from 8pm i think is the time to go on. I'm not sure though.

 

Hey, how many of us kiwis are pilots? I'm training, that's why i do this i guess

I was training for my ppl. Did all the exams and have 90 hours up my belt. Stopped however, energy time and money became too short. Still I am pleased at what I did.

G'day Scott, Welcome.

 

You can find resources for NZ at the VATPAC site, www.vatpac.org . VATPAC is the Division that looks after providing information, resources and training in NZ, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

 

You can download sector files from the 'Airspace' - 'Sector Files' - 'New Zealand' menu.

 

You will also find some frequency (and other) information in 'Airspace' - 'Airspace Information' - 'New Zealand' - 'Airspace Guide'. You will also be able to easily see what frequency controllers are on in the ATC client by selecting a logged on controller in the controller list.

 

Cheers!
