> This is more of interest to NZ flyers but others may be interested in the
> following development in NZ Sport Aviation.
>
> Just prior to Christmas, according to reliable sources, the NZ CAA will
be
> changing the regulations under which Special Category aircraft
(Experimental,
> Sport & Warbirds) can operate under. This follows representations from
> several aircraft associations.
>
> Phase 1
> Aircraft under test using certified engines and propellers must remain in
> their designated test area for 25 hours and may not fly over populous
areas
> except for takeoff or landing. For aircraft using non certified engines
or
> propellers this period is extended to 40 hours.
>
> Phase 2
> Aircraft may fly Day and Night VFR and IFR providing the aircraft is
> correctly equipped for the type of flight.
> and...
>
> Below 100 hours operational time
> Aircraft may fly over populous areas providing the overflight is en
route.
>
> Above 100 hours operational and following individual aircraft submission
to
> the CAA proving airworthiness and good maintenance of the aircraft then
sport
> aircraft may operate with the same freedoms/restrictions as apply to
> certified aircraft.
>
> This is a major breakthrough for NZ sport aviation as for the first time
it
> gives us the same air rights as certified aircraft.
