logging hours in New Zealand

[EvilSibling]

Guys im a PPL student from Sydney, Aus.

 

Im going to New Zealand for work and while I'm there I'm hoping to get some time behind the yoke to see NZ from the air with a licensed instructor.

 

My question is can I log my flying hours in NZ toward my PPL?

Interesting thought- wondered the same today. I would think there would be a possibility of a 'yes', given that I believe the licences are recognised ona reciprocal basis.

 

I know you can fly over there on an RAA license after payment of a cheap fee and some forms to obtain the NZ equivalent, or at least that used to be the case.

Definitely yes ... it is your flying log and should include all your flying hours no matter where you are and whether you are the PIC or under instruction.

Aussie PPL student, he asks if he can log NZ hrs towards his PPL.

 

Ask CASA

You don't get your PPL based on hours, it is assessed on competency regardless of how many hours you have done. So you can log away and if it adds to your competency (which it should) it will help.
