Night Shift Special Event: Summer Holiday! Central Otago

Kia Ora All

Tonight we are off to the South Island high country to enjoy the sun, scenery and stunning locations around Central Otago.

Popular for tourism, wine, stunning landscapes and high-octane activities, the region can provide some of the best flying as you ferry tourists on their summer holiday. From heli adventures to scenic flights, low and slow or high and fast as you jet in and out of Queenstown, this event caters for all!

We will focus on the airports/fields situated around the Central Otago region that contain a variety of controlled and uncontrolled airports. This should make for a fun evening with a plethora of flying options and activities!

Whilst you can enjoy the whole NZZC as per usual the aim is to have as many movements in and out of the Central Otago region as possible. The event is not rostered so it will be a first come, first serve system in ⁠⁠atc-requests. We hope to see as many of you there either controlling or flying!

See you all Sunday night!
