Announcing this month's Non Normal.
This month we host an event where we all converge on the Coromandel Peninsula. Located a short hop from many airports around the upper North Island it offers of the most unique flying opportuinites for all types! Helicopter ops, GA scenic flying or even turboprop action into Great Barrier! Tauranga also offers the opportuinity to fly commercial in or out of a field that may be busy with plenty of GA traffic heading north up the coast.
The focus will be on the airports/fields situated around the Coromandel region that offers opportunity for both departures and arrivals (see below), however this is not a staffed event so it is up to pilots and controllers to determine where and what the traffic levels are.
Whilst you can enjoy the whole NZZC as per usual the aim is to have as many movements into the event locations as possible.
If you are flying commercial jet ops, AA is the recommended field to enjoy high traffic levels. We hope to see as many of you there either controlling or flying!
Suggested departure fields: AA, NE, MB (Helicopters), AR, HN, TG, RO
Suggested arrival fields: TH, UN, WT, CX, GB
See you all on Sunday night!
