< PreviousKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 59 70 GETTING your first flying job won’t be about how much you spent (or saved) while learning to fly. It will depend on the attitude you have developed and how much ‘real’ experience you have gained during training. Training is our business at Shoreline Helicopters and we aim to produce above average private and commercial pilots. We offer one-on-one tuition from a very experienced instructor and are CAR Part 141 certificated for flight testing and competency checks. Company owner Rick Graham lives and breathes helicopters and aviation, and has thousands of hours experience with a vast knowledge to pass on to students. Over the last 38 years Rick has been involved in deer recovery, air transport, spraying, topdressing, and more. Commercial operations have also included rescue and medevac, winching, rappelling and human sling loads, fire-fighting, and long-lining. Students gain a huge advantage by having the option to become involved in some of this commercial and agricultural flying, at the same time as undertaking training with us. We operate in the sunny Hawke’s Bay area in close proximity to 5500 foot mountains and control zones. We have very few delays due to poor weather and helicopter availability is high because we keep student numbers low by only those with suitable aptitude and motivation. All training is undertaken on our Hughes 300C. This is a very stable, safe aircraft to learn to fly in. There is plenty of room in the cabin and when undertaking ag training we can carry a legal spray load of 100 litres with instructor and student on board – making for a very efficient classroom. Our ag training syllabus includes spraying, topdressing, seeding, mustering, and GPS training. Our sling load training is also comprehensive, starting with the basics then introducing long-line work and also practical farm and industrial applications of laying fence lines and concrete etc. Our optional night flying training can include practical frost protection experience on some of the orchards we support. We’ll also train you for remote (away from the airport) night operations. Checks and Renewals Aside from PPL and CPL training, we also offer Robinson Safety Awareness Training, Part 135 and 137 Competency checks, Instructor renewals including night privileges issue, and Human Sling training. There are several companies in both the North and South Islands that we undertake competency checks for. For more information Contact Rick Graham on 027 4433537, email: admin@shorelinehelicopters.co.nz or visit www.shorelinehelicopters.co.nz We look forward to meeting you.

Mark is an experienced ATPL ground instructor, currently employed as an international pilot with Air New Zealand. Resources offered by Waypoints include the PilotBooks series of flight and ground training textbooks, Apple eBooks, online Mock (practice) Exams, and Ground Courses. The majority of this material development has been led by Mark himself, who is continuing to extend the range as opportunity permits. PilotBooks and eBooks The well-known and respected PilotBooks series of flight and ground training textbooks for the PPL, CPL, IR, BTK and ATPL have been authored by Walter Wagtendonk, Stewart Boys and Mark Woodhouse. These books have become the de facto purchase for most new student pilots starting their careers and many will be pleased to hear that Waypoints are presently also developing more volumes in the series. Waypoints are continuing to work on a project to convert the PilotBooks range of conventional paper textbooks to eBooks. To date eleven of the textbooks have been converted, i.e., the Flight Training Manual and Volumes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 14 can be purchased through the Apple iBookstore. See www.waypoints.co.nz for details. [KiwiFlyer has sampled these on an iPad: They are easy to use, very elegantly presented, well-illustrated, and include interactive question and answer sessions for each chapter, as well as links to Waypoints’ mock exams. Considering these are textbooks, they have a great deal of visual appeal - the layout, fonts, and use of imagery is very good. Tools to view the different layers in each book (chapters, sections, questions, etc.) are all user-friendly. Text is searchable, and you can add highlights and notes to it for your own reference. It’s also of course much more portable than a textbook and easy to Study Support from Waypoints Aviation Pilot Books - Ground Courses - Mock Exams - iBooks refer to whenever the opportunity permits. If you’re an iPad using aviation student, this is probably a study option that’s perfect for you. And if you haven’t got an iPad it’s potentially enough justification to buy one.] Online Mock Exams Waypoints Mock Exams are multi- choice practice exams, styled on the real ASL examination (similar to the old Sample Exams they used to make available). Question bank sets are available now for all of the PPL(A) and (H) subjects, for CPL Air Law, Nav and for PofF, for BTK, and for five of the seven ATPL(A) subjects. More mock exam question banks are under development, with priority going on the CPL(A) and ATPL(A) subjects. Each mock exam you sit is unique, made up of a set number of multi-choice questions generated randomly from a large master question bank, covering the full syllabus of each subject. All content is modelled on the type of questions you may get in the real ASL examinations. These mock exams are designed to fine tune and focus your knowledge in preparation for the real examination. Each multi-choice item comes with a syllabus reference and a study reference. Ground Courses Waypoints provide ground courses for the higher level professional licences and ratings. ATPL theory, BTK and ITC ground courses are run in conjunction with and based at the Nelson Aviation College in Motueka. Waypoints works very closely with the College. Free Stuff Waypoints believe passionately in quality training. Consequently, we have developed and offer pilot study support material which will help you develop appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes to achieve your flying dreams - safely. We offer material to you as free downloads, as they becomes available. Material on our Free Stuff page is offered as a free download. Its content has been produced and collated from a wide range of sources and where possible we have given full credit to the original author(s).

A screenshot of the Waypoints iBooks pageKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 59 72 What is needed? To become a New Zealand pilot or Air Traffic Controller you will need to get and maintain a CAA medical certificate. There are three main types or classes. • Class 1; for a Professional pilot holding a CPL or ATPL (i.e. you are being paid to fly). • Class 2; for a Private pilot holding a PPL (i.e. you are not being paid to fly). • Class 3; for an Air Traffic Controller. A Class 3 holder can also have class 1 and 2. There is also the RPL medical which is done by your GP using a form called a DL9. This is for the Recreational Pilots Licence. The DL9 is in fact like a truck driver medical. The RPL pilot’s licence has more restrictions on it than a class 1 or 2. For example you can only take one passenger rather than the whole family. This article doesn’t talk any further about the RPL. If you do get a RPL medical then you keep the paper copy the GP gives you. You must then send a copy to the CAA medical unit. The CAA or Civil Aviation Authority is the government body tasked with aviation security and safety. The class 1, 2 and 3 medicals must be done by a specially trained aviation Doctor (ME = Medical Examiner) shown on the list of medical examiners on the CAA web site www.caa.govt.nz When you learn to fly you study for your private pilot licence (PPL) first. This allows you to fly a plane but not be paid to do so. You can add IFR flying (flying on instruments inside cloud where you cannot see anything) to your PPL. IFR flying is more work to get and maintain above your PPL private pilot’s licence. If you want to become a commercial pilot you would then need to carry out additional study and flying hours for your commercial pilot licence (CPL). If you are intending on being an Air Traffic Controller then the course of study is different. You should however also get your medical before you start your study. If you are planning to become a professional pilot or think you may want to become a commercial pilot it is recommended that you get your class 1 certificate straight away. This is usually cheaper than doing a class 2 initial then a class 1 initial. When you get a class 1 you also get a class 2 certificate. Flying is expensive and there are some people who would like to be pilots but are A necessary part of obtaining your first pilot’s licence is also obtaining your first aviation medical certificate. This is certainly something you should do before commencing expensive flight training, just in case the examination turns up some issue of aviation related concern. For those new to the game, the process can be something of a mystery – but as Chris and Dr. Joanna Lapish explain in this article, the process is not onerous and can be made even easier with a little preparation beforehand. unable due to medical reasons. The reality however is that most people pass their medical. For some it takes a little more time and effort. As such we recommend that after you have had your trial flight (to make sure you love it as much as you think you will), then get your medical. We recommend 90 days before your course just in case you are one of the few that need a little more time. The CAA has a set of standards. If you do not meet those standards this doesn’t mean necessarily that you cannot become a pilot. If you do not meet the standards your medical examiner would request issue of a certificate through the AMC process. The CAA would allow a certificate to be issued if they believe that your issue would not breach aviation safety. They may also put conditions on your medical to reduce the risk. For example, a colour-blind class 2 pilot generally cannot fly at night unless they passed further testing. There are too many medical issues to give you a list of allowed and not allowed issues. The same issue for one pilot may be treated differently with another, depending on all of the pilot’s health issues. The way to find out is to go for your medical. Your first medical will be more expensive than your later ones. The doctors fee for the initial is more than their fee for a re-issue as they need to do more tasks. You will also need more extra tests for an initial than a reissue. Most flying schools require you to maintain your class 1 certificate while you are training to be a commercial pilot. Check what your training school rules are. If you are self-funding your training your flying club or school may allow you to learn to fly on your class 2 and allow you to let your class 1 lapse. You will need to renew your class 1 medical Obtaining your first medical The KiwiFlyer Guide to Aviation Training73 2018 #4 contributed by Chris and Dr. Joanna Lapish however before you sit your commercial flight test, if it has expired. How to get your first Medical The process to get your medical certificate is as follows. 1. Pay the CAA admin fee online at the CAA website. The CAA fee is paid each time you apply for a medical. Remember to take a copy of this receipt to your medical. 2. Fill out the CAA pilot medical application form at www.caa.govt.nz 3. Choose a ME (CAA Medical Examiner) from the list on the CAA web site and contact them for an appointment. 4. Get a special eye report done at a CAA approved Optometrist. Approved Optometrists are shown on the CAA website. 5. Get an audiometry report (on the correct CAA form) by an Audiologist. Alternatively, some medical examiners can do the audiogram hearing test when you see them. 6. Get a blood test. You will need a fasting lipids + fasting glucose or Hba1c blood test form. You can get this done through your GP or medical examiner. The results can be used for your medical (up to 12 months in retrospect from the date of your new certificate). How often do I need a medical? Your first medical is called an initial. Subsequent ones for the class you already have are treated as a renewal. If you only get a class 2 then later decide to get a class 1 you will need to do another initial. When you are under 40, your class 1 lasts one year and class 2 lasts five years. When you’re over 40 the durations reduce. When you get a class 1 you also get a class 2. If you do not end up using your class 1 it can just sit there. Provided you renew it within 5 years of it expiring you will not need to repeat an initial to get it back. Likewise, you need to renew your class 2 within 5 years of it expiring to avoid having to do another initial medical. At different ages during your flying you will need different tests., for example ECG, bloods etc. What to bring to your medical. 1. Receipt for the CAA fee. 2. Your filled-out pilot application form from the CAA website. 3. Your Photo ID. Passport or NZ drivers’ licences are acceptable. 4. Your glasses and importantly your spare pair (if you wear them). 5. If you wear contacts take them, but do not wear them to your medical. 6. Your blood test result printout. 7. Your special eye report if you wish to apply for class 1. 8. Your audiometry report if needed and your ME doesn’t offer this service. 9. You are welcome to bring a support person if you would like to. Your ME will not be able to see you if you don’t come with items 1-3. If you have not done 6-8 you can still go for your medical and then supply these later. Good luck with your aviation plans. Your ME will enjoy getting to know you and watching you progress through your training. Look out for a future article offering tips for your renewal medical ! To book a medical at Ardmore Dr Joanna Lapish provides NZCAA and Australian CASA aviation medical services. She is at David Powell’s Flying Medicine hangar at Ardmore on most Tuesdays. If clients have urgent requirements then these can usually be accommodated at their West Auckland practice Wednesdays through Fridays. Contact Chris on 027 276 5812 (or email joanna.lapish@hotmail.com for bookings and any questions you may have. It’s a great idea to save stress by booking up to 30 days ahead as the new date on your certificate will be dated not from the test but from when your current certificate expires.

Fifteen years ago Neil McCracken bought the J3 from America in pieces, in fact in lots of carboard boxes and with the best of intentions planned to put it together again. Things didn’t go to plan, so the project was taken on by Dave Johnson and Alan Ruck and the restoration was underway. However due to the varying poor conditions of the parts, Canterbury earthquakes and house shifting this process took longer than expected. The Piper J-3 Cub was built between 1937 and 1947 by Piper Aircraft. The simple and affordable Cub became one of the best known and popular light aircraft of all time with nearly 20,000 built in the U.S. The Cub was originally intended as a trainer and had great popularity in this role and as a GA aircraft. Due to its performance, it was well suited for a variety of military uses such as reconnaissance, liaison and ground control. It was produced in large numbers during WWII as the L-4 Grasshopper. Many Cubs are still flying today and are highly prized as bush aircraft. ZK-AND hails from 1941, from one of the last batches before subsequent models being built for the military. Her wooden spar has been rebuilt with lots of repairs carried out to the wing ribs. AND not only stands for the first initials of the owners Alan, Neil and Dave but is also relative to the period in time when other J3 cubs were imported to NZ. The first J3s were ANC, D and E all back in 1939 and all three of these aircraft still grace New Zealand’s skies. This J-3 is powered with the original A65 Continental engine and Dave says once the primer pump has been sorted out the plane should be ready for Evan Belworthy to test fly. ZK-CIM Stoddard-Hamilton GlaStar It’s definitely an achievement that needs to be celebrated when your aeroplane flies for the first time after being in construction for 18 years. For Barry Mogg, of Rotorua, his GlaStar project was started by someone else back in the UK in 1998. He bought it in 2000 and after two years of working on it, decided to shift to NZ and progress stalled until 2008. Medical issues with his PPL delayed the build again but in the meantime, he built and flew a microlight. Now with a RPL Barry could see that he would be able to fly his GlaStar, so work recommenced. The GlaStar’s performance figures and sleek looks had always appealed to Barry. An American amateur-built aircraft, the GlaStar was designed by Tom Hamilton and produced by Stoddard-Hamilton Aircraft and later Glasair Aviation. The two-seat GlaStar features a strut-braced high-wing and either a fixed tricycle landing gear or tail dragger configuration. The aeroplane is made with a welded steel fuselage, fiberglass body and aluminum wings. Barry found this a nice challenge as he had only built using tube and fabric before. The plane is strongly built but quite heavy. Barry bought a Cessna Cardinal that had just had its O-320 150hp engine overhauled which was ideal for the GlaStar along with its instruments. As this engine was fitted with e-mags the test period has been restricted to 40 hours. This testing is being done by Nick Rowe at Tauranga with 10 hours completed at time of writing. Solo Wings have looked after paperwork and certification requirements.

NZ CAA Part 145, 148, 19F, NZS/AS, 9001:2008 www.fieldair.co.nzKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 59 76 ZK Review continued ZK-BZL Piper PA-14 Argus Aviation of Motueka have two aircraft on the new registration list this time, first with a 4-seat Piper PA-14 from the late 1940s and also a 5-seat EC120B helicopter. The Eurocopter was imported from Canada and onsold to Heliview Taranaki Limited of Cromwell where Richard and Jolanda Foale offer scenic flights, wine tasting and heli-biking trips. Mark Stagg, from Argus Aviation, will keep the Piper PA-14 for his own personal use as he has always wanted one. The PA- 14 is a 1947 evolution by Piper Aircraft of their 3-seat PA-12 Super Cruiser, achieved by widening the cabin five inches at the instrument panel and adding slotted flaps. The original high-wing and fixed tailwheel undercarriage layout features were retained. 238 examples were completed, most being sold to private owner pilots in the United States, but overseas sales included several to France. Mark’s PA- 14 was exported to South Africa where it has flown 3900 hours. Before being imported to NZ the aeroplane had a total refurbishment which included the 115hp O-235 being upgraded to the O-320 Lycoming engine producing 150hp. At time of writing inspections are being completed and a test flight is imminent. ZK-CBJ Cal Parker Teenie Two Blenheim-based Graham Compton’s Teenie Two is the third to be built in New Zealand. The Teenie Two is a single seat open cockpit sport aeroplane designed by Calvin Parker and first built in 1969 in the United States. It has a monocoque fuselage with fixed horizontal stabiliser and a hinged elevator attached. The wings are fully cantilevered with the outer wing panels, each only 6 feet in length, being detachable to enable ground transportation. To simplify construction, each wing rib is a single piece and slides onto the main spar, a technique that helps in rib alignment. Graham likes the compactness of this aeroplane and that it can be trailered if required although he will be keeping it hangared at the airport. Built entirely in his garage he said that this presented its own challenges, “having access to a metal folder would have made some parts of the construction a little easier”. This Teenie Two is powered with an 80hp Revmaster engine with a wooden Pevy propeller made in the States - and should cruise around 120mph. At this stage Graham thinks that this propeller is too fine and may need more pitch. Presently he is calibrating the instruments and finishing off the decals, then there will just be a final inspection and paperwork to complete and it will be ready to fly. ...continued from previous page OEM Cessna 172R Oceania Aviation Limited Papakura Aeroplane PPL Ultravia Pelican PL Mr L T S Jones Queenstown Microlight Class 2 RDC AutoGyro Calidus Gyrate NZ (2017) Limited Mount Maunganui Gyroplane RGG AutoGyro Europe MT03 eagle Gyrate NZ (2017) Limited Mount Maunganui Microlight Class 2 RLM Cessna U206F Martin Aviation Services Ltd Manukau Aeroplane ROK Pacific Aerospace 750XL Skydive Queenstown Limited Queenstown Aeroplane RUL Cessna 208B Skydive Queenstown Limited Queenstown Aeroplane SGM Alpi Aviation Pioneer 300 Mr N G Stirling Winton Microlight Class 2 SHG Alpi Aviation Pioneer 300 Mr P C Moore Blenheim Microlight Class 2 SMH Avid Heavy Hauler UL SMH Syndicate Mosgiel Microlight Class 2 SVQ Cessna 402B AAM NZ Limited Napier Aeroplane TEL TRI-R KIS TR-4 Cruiser Mr F J Kuriger New Plymouth Amat Built Aeroplane ULM Great Lakes Baby Great Lakes Mr B L Nilsson Omarama Microlight Class 1 VMC Europa Aviation XS Tri Gear Mr M G Earnshaw Christchurch Amat Built Aeroplane VXM Cessna 510 Skyline Aviation Limited Napier Aeroplane WJH Alpha R2160 North Shore Aero Club (Inc) Albany Aeroplane WKF Alpha R2160 North Shore Aero Club (Inc) Albany Aeroplane WPT Druine Turbulent U/L Mr L M Wedlake Christchurch Microlight Class 1 XSA North American Harvard 3* O’Sullivan Family Trust Blenheim Aeroplane DEPARTURES - June/July 2018 ALB TVAL Albatros DVa-1 The Vintage Aviator Limited Masterton Aeroplane Exp CIR Alpi Aviation Pioneer 200 Mr R M McLean Whangarei Microlight C2 W/d CUN Piper PA-28-140 Mr B P Carroll Masterton Aeroplane W/d ETN Cessna U206G Wilderness Wings Limited Hokitika Aeroplane Dest EWP Cessna 172RG Dennis Thompson International Ltd Papakura Aeroplane Rev FEI Alex Bojilov Little Donkey Mr A Bojilov Christchurch Microlight C1 W/d FGZ Cessna 182N Palms on George Ltd Pukekohe Aeroplane Dest FPX Cascade Kasperwing Kasperwing Syndicate Feilding Microlight C1 W/d FQY Cessna 207 Southern Alps Air Limited Wanaka Aeroplane W/d GUB Grob Speed Astir IIB Mr G Simmendinger Whangarei Glider Rev HFQ Robinson R44 Edward Cassidy Investments Limited Queenstown Helicopter Exp HII Robinson R22 Beta Mountain View Farms Dannevirke Helicopter Exp HIR Robinson R22 Beta Mr S M Brown Reefton Helicopter Exp HLE Robinson R44 II Kaikoura Helicopters Limited Kaikoura Helicopter Dest HMQ Eurocopter AS 350 B2 HNZ New Zealand Limited Nelson Helicopter Exp HPC Robinson R44 II Mr A M Gunton Riversdale Helicopter Dest HQE Hughes 369FF Heli-Hire Limited Rotorua Helicopter Exp HRB Robinson R44 Mr S J Bethell Amberley Helicopter W/d HVU Eurocopter AS 350 B2 HNZ New Zealand Limited Nelson Helicopter Exp HZI Robinson R22 Beta Teleflite Pty Ltd Australia Helicopter Exp ILD MD Helicopters 600N Helicopters Hawkes Bay 2006 Ltd Hastings Helicopter Dest LAT Cessna 172R Ardmore Flying School Ltd Papakura Aeroplane Dest PTR Jurca M.J.5 Sirocco Mr M G Farrand Warkworth A/B Aeroplane W/d RAT Bensen B8M Gyro-copter Mr G P Marshall Picton Microlight C1 W/d SNZ GAF N22C Tandem Skydiving (2002) Ltd Taupo Aeroplane W/d UVC Comper CLA.7 Swift JEM Aviation Ltd Blenheim Aeroplane Exp ZK-EZG DR-107 One Design “Dad made me do it!” After having built and flown his RV8, David Wilkinson’s father Don Wilkinson, both of Auckland, made the comment “does a kit built aeroplane really qualify you to be a homebuilder?”, so David decided he was up for the challenge and ordered the plans to build the DR-107 One Design.2018 #4 Kiwi Flyer Classified Robinson R44 Raven I and II New Robinson R44 Raven I and II.

It features a cantilever mid-wing and fixed conventional landing gear. Construction consists of a welded steel tube fuselage, with the forward section having a carbon fibre shell and the rear section being fabric covered. The one- piece wing has a spruce spa and Okump Ply (Mahogany) ribs. David will be using the Stewart System for the fabric and painting. The engine is a 240hp IO-360 Lycoming that has been stripped down for inspection and crack tested. David loves aerobatics which he presently does in the RV8. His new aircraft has a more capable wing design for aeros, rated to +/– 10G and known to perform very well in the unlimited class. This year at Oshkosh the DR-107 celebrated its 25-year anniversary. David hopes to have his DR-107 finished in time for the SAA National fly-in in February next year so be sure to keep an eye out. It should be easy to spot as the Wilkinson colour scheme is quite distinctive, plus the pilot will be grinning from ear to ear… NIKI ROTORS KALLITHEA Demonstrator with low hours.
