Anyone setting up an aviation business in New Zealand, whether large or small, needs CAA approval to operate.
There are two groups in the CAA specifically set up to help you through the certification process and to ensure you maintain standards once you get certificated. The Airline Group deals with large operations, while the General Aviation Group focuses its attentions on small aeroplanes and helicopters.
Prospective Part 135 operators are encouraged to email any inquiries about certification to: RotaryandAg.Administrator@caa.govt.nz
The certification and operating requirements for helicopters and small aeroplanes involved in air operations are covered in Civil Aviation Rule Parts 119 and 135, and related Advisory Circulars provide explanatory information and examples of ways to comply with these Rules.
The following Civil Aviation Rules are applicable to the following types of general aviation operations:
Powered Aircraft - Parts 91 and 103
Microlight Aircraft - Parts 91 and 103
Gliders - Parts 91 and 104
Hang Gliders/Paragliders - Parts 91 and 106
Helicopter External Load Operations - Parts 91 and 133
Agricultural Aircraft Operations - Parts 91 and 137
Adventure Aviation - Part 115

New Zealand Helicopter Safety Survey
This survey was developed for all participants in the New Zealand helicopter sector and was carried out through January/February 2016. The purpose of the survey was to gather feedback on the factors that influence the safety performance of helicopter operations in New Zealand.
The survey is now closed, and we would like to thank everyone who participated. We will bring you results as soon as possible.

Agricultural Aviation Sector Risk Profile
All agricultural aircraft operators were invited to sector meetings held in May 2014 to discuss the 16 risks identified in the Agricultural Aviation Sector Risk Profile. Operational and training standards were proposed at these meetings, as a means of treating risks 3 and 9. Topics for these standards were discussed and are summarised in the following two documents. Draft standards are now under development. Further consultation with the sector will occur once the drafts have been written.

Agricultural Operations - Certification Forms
Agricultural companies and pilots may be put at risk when fertiliser condition is not optimal due to manufacture, transportation, or storage factors, or when working from airstrips which are not fit for the purpose. The publication below provides information about farm airstrips and the farmer's role in providing an adequate and reasonable strip and an appropriate fertiliser storage facility. It also includes information for fertiliser manufactures and transporters, and aviation companies and pilots. It was produced with consultation between Federated Farmers, the Department of Labour, New Zealand Agricultural Aviation Association, the CAA, and others.
