< PreviousKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 62 50 The Tiger Moth club recently held their 49th annual general meeting (and fly-in) at Hawera Airfield. Phil Craig reports: Tiger Moth Club Fly-in to Hawera Fifty years after the Tiger Moth Club of New Zealand was incorporated, the club returned to Hawera Airfield on 1–3 March 2019 for a weekend of flying and activities. After most attendees arrived on Friday 1 March, competition flying took place on Saturday with a prize-giving awards dinner Grant Wilson and Tiger Moth ZK-ALK framed by Mount Taranaki. that evening at the Hawera Club, then on Sunday morning the club’s 49th Annual General Meeting was held. The intended flying competitions on Saturday were to be bombing, spot landings, perfect loop, novice and advanced aerobatics, and the non-instrument circuit. The weather affected this intention as, after it dawned calm and remained so for a few hours, a reasonably strong southerly developed in a short time. With both easterly and westerly components producing some challenging crosswinds, conditions below about 1,000 feet The Hawera Aero Club hosted the fly-in and AGM.

Due to this there were no aerobatic competitions or non-instrument circuit flown. Only five Tiger Moths were present at the fly-in, less than normally would show up, and there were no de Havilland Canada products either - however two Boeing Stearman biplanes attended. Hallet Griffin also showed up in his Auster B8 Agricola on Saturday, so for a few hours it was the rarest type on the airfield! At the Awards Dinner evening, after a scrumptious buffet meal, the club’s President presented a range of awards. Some of these were for the day’s competition flying, with the winners being Phil Welcome (perfect loop), Kevin Paulsen (bombing) and John Baynes (spot landing). Others were presented for the most original Tiger Moth (ZK-BFF), the most magnificent Moth (ZK-ALK), the youngest competing member (Leanne Butler), the most interesting flight to the fly-in (Amanda Rutland), the longest flight in an open cockpit aircraft to the fly-in (Amanda Rutland), and best vintage aircraft at the fly-in (ZK-BKW). Meanwhile another award was to recognise the member who had done the most work for the club during the year… this was presented to Secretary Graeme Wood. The highlight of the awards evening was the last to be presented. This was the Geoff Masterton Trophy from the UK Moth Club that was awarded to club stalwart and immediate past President Jim Lawson for “exceptional services to engineering in support of de Havilland Moth Club representative types”. The award was accepted by Ace Edwards, to a rapturous round of applause, on behalf of Jim Lawson who was unfortunately unable to attend the fly-in weekend. As an aside, as the UK Moth Club does not permit the trophy to venture overseas the award for Jim was in the form of a framed and inscribed photo of this magnificent cup. The Tiger Moth Club’s 49th Annual General Meeting was held at the Hawera Aero Club on Sunday morning. This meeting set dates for the next two major Tiger Moth Club events with the Taumarunui 50th Anniversary Fly-In to be held at Taumarunui Airfield on 18–20 October 2019 and the 50th AGM Fly-In will be at Ashburton Airfield on 13–15 March 2020. Prior to this a Safari Rally is to start at Kerikeri on 28 February that will proceed from North Cape to Bluff before heading to Ashburton in time for the AGM fly-in, with all types of aircraft being able to take part in the safari or even just a section of it. Then the club’s 50th AGM Fly-In will play host to (hopefully) many Tiger Moths and other de Havilland aircraft of various types, both English and Canadian built. It should be another very enjoyable weekend. Phil Craig John Pheasant adjacent the markers in the spot landing competition.

This event is the finale of a series of club and regional competitions throughout the country where keen aviators have earned their eligibility to compete at the Nationals. Liz King reports on several days of socialising and aviation: The Nationals: Flying NZ Championships They came to North Shore from as far south as Timaru to test their prowess with the best in the country. Some like the good folk from Ashburton flew their own aircraft to the Championships whilst others hired aircraft from local Auckland based aero clubs. The Ashburton folks were in such fine form that having spent the day making their way north, after a cuppa and natter they were straight into practice mode and getting a feel for the local lay of the land. Piper Tomahawk MBZ from the RNZAF Base Auckland Aviation Sports Club about to make a precision landing. The competitions Competition wise, it all started on Wednesday with the two wild card events. These are open to anyone and allow a second crack at getting into the nationals for the precision flying and forced landing competitions. Thursday saw the navigation, low flying, life raft and bomb dropping, and student only competitions take place. The navigation events encourage pilots be they low hour, high hour, or student The championships flight line at North Shore Aero Club. Chris Opperman image Chris Opperman image53 2019 #2 to retain the ways of navigation with the whizzy wheel and paper maps – with one competition designed specifically for those using GPS wizardry instead. Low flying also caters for all levels from private to commercial pilot. With most fixed wing flying done ‘high’, low flying can be an infrequently practiced skill. Life raft dropping is an art form and not just a case of dropping a life raft out of the aircraft. Rather there is a degree of skill required to have the device land in such a manner that it drifts towards those needing rescuing – and not as easy as it sounds. Bombing competitions were a means of keeping alive the skills of WWI pilots who delivered bombs by hand out the side of aircraft. These days it is a fun skill that many pilots enjoy. Friday was the day for circuit based precision competitions be they circuits only with a precision landing onto the bullseye, or instrument & non-instrument, or forced landing competitions. Into the mix also was aerobatic flying, not for everyone but fiercely competed in by those who love the art form. One of the fun events which has a huge following is streamer cutting. The pilot tosses a toilet roll out the window and then chases it with the aim being to cut it three times on the way down. Needless to say this is done at a height that allows for such manouvering and with an aerobatic rated safety pilot on board. It’s a great spectator competition into the bargain as those on the ground yell their support or otherwise throughout the chase. Saturday dawned bright and early with the three ship formation teams into the skies very early to take advantage of calmer air. This was followed by the World Air Sports based precision rally navigation competition which adds an interesting twist of time restraints and observational points to be found. Then there is a fun competition for the instructors who have attended the nationals and worked hard as air judges. This is keenly competed for, with much ribbing of each other as the ‘pros’ do their darndest to beat each other and take out the prestigious Jay Peters Trophy. The trophy is in memory of Jay who was a long serving CFI of Canterbury Aero Club and a stalwart of Flying NZ. All of these competitions cater for all levels of aviation, including microlight specific comps, and are a great motivation towards developing safe flying habits - particularly for pilots whose training has The fence judge at work.

This year at North Shore the Yeagles were treated to a visit to Smith Tech Air hangars where all manner of vintage aircraft are owned or in the care of Stan Smith. If you have ever been into Stan’s wonderland of hangars you will understand what a treat this is. Then David Wilkinson showed them around the myriad of hangars on the eastern side of the airfield where again a treat is in store for anyone visiting. Aircraft of all styles and types in various stages of construction to fully operational were on view. Special thanks to Stan and David for organising these visits. Presentations The Grand Finale of the week is the Presentation Dinner, where everyone finds out how they did. This kicks off with the presentation of scholarships to the Young Eagles. Presentations are made by the various sponsors that Flying NZ has had long standing relationships with; Airways, Aspeq, Avsure, CAA and Service IQ, with additional special scholarships from Nelson Aviation College and Waypoints Aviation. Presentations continue throughout the evening, and it was great to see some clubs and faces at the Nationals for the first time in many long years. Tokoroa’s David Chalmers took out the Pam Collings aerobatic comp, and Mercury Bay’s Bill Beard placed in the Sir Francis Boys. The big one is the Wigram Trophy, competed for fiercely by clubs and this year taken out by Mid Canterbury Aero Club, which was a rich reward for the folks from Ashburton and the practice they put in on arrival. A mention must be given to the pilots from Wellington Aero Club, another club at the Nationals for the first time in many long years; second equal with Tauranga was no mean feat on the day. And so it was, all over in a flash. They came they conquered, new friendships were made and old ones renewed. For some folk this is their once a year catch up. Camaraderie is high and everyone helps each other be it with nerves prior to a comp or discussion on the best way to execute a manoeuvre. Friendly and cheerful ribbing or commiseration is the order of the day. If you haven’t tried this side of aviation life – why not give it a go. Let’s see you in Tauranga for the 2020 Nationals. Liz King F K finished at the PPL level. Competition flying not only adds interest and a challenge, but also helps keep pilots current and safer. Behind the scenes In behind the scenes the air (i.e. as a passenger) judges are an amazing bunch of people. And just one lady in amongst all the blokes - we need to do something about getting more ladies into this instructing business which is a most rewarding profession. These professionals work their butts off hopping in and out of aircraft, running around trying to find AWOL competitors, and reworking the schedule on the hop because aircraft get shuffled around. They have a phenomenal knowledge of the rule book for any given competition and how to score it, plus personality and a calming attitude and influence. They’re also very diplomatic - magical folk indeed. Then we step back even further behind the scenes to the scoring room. This is where the Chief Scorer does all the checking; just to be sure the numbers are added correctly. Some competitions have both air and landing components and score sheets must be collating correctly. Certificates for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd must be prepared. Trophy engraving must be arranged. Problems must be solved and days must run smoothly. Scheduling competitions is a fascinating item on the long list of things to ensure everything does run smoothly, though at the end of the day it is just a guideline and as long as the timing does not get too far behind then all is well. Adding to that are the people able to answer any number of questions - where to find something, when is mealtime, adding names to the dinner lists at the last minute and generally keeping everyone happy. Flying NZ Young Eagles At aero clubs around New Zealand groups of young folk come together under the banner of the Young Eagles, nicknamed ‘Yeagles’, to foster their love of aviation. They take part in aviation and life skills activities at their club, including being immersed into all aspects of aero club life. These young adults attend the National’s as the last step in a process that has seen them awarded a National Scholarship towards their flying career. At the Nationals they attend aviation Formation Judges getting ready. Wellington Aero Club Team did very well. The trophy haul of the mid-Canterbury Aero Club.

It stands for an All-Party Parliamentary Group whose members cast aside politics and focus on matters that directly affect real people and their livelihoods. In the UK, this is a long-established concept and its APPG-GA is a group of 203 MPs and members of the House of Lords who, among other things, have succeeded in a campaign to Cut the Red Tape at their Civil Aviation Authority. APPG-GA champions UK general aviation, economically and culturally. It has five working groups comprising a mix of parliamentarians and subject experts, each group specialising in a particular area of concern for GA. Results indicate that the APPG-GA is taken seriously by UK aviation bureaucrats. The group has just launched its latest plan, describing targets and how it intends to achieve them. APPG-GA chair and MP Grant Shapps said: “We feel it is important that our work is as open and transparent as possible. That is why we are publishing a programme of work for each sub-group, so the public and the Government are crystal-clear on what we want achieved for General Aviation”. The plan includes campaigning for improved safeguarding of airfields, working towards greater tax relief for flight training, improving the fairness of lower airspace management, and opening clearer pathways through education to aviation jobs. Could an AAPG-GA exist in New Zealand? It seems unlikely. If there is more than one current influential member of government or opposition with so much as a Microlight Pilot certificate, we would be surprised. And to the GAA’s knowledge, no political party has any stated policy on general aviation. New Zealand is not comparable to the United Kingdom, particularly when it comes to the aviation industry. However, aviation is far more important to our country’s economy than most people understand, or politicians will admit. Those at the coal face of GA in New Zealand are a small and fragmented band, easily marginalised by a regulator whose political masters have historically shown themselves to be nodding dogs, content to leave the Director to get on with it (but merciless, should it come to scape-goating for failure). New Zealand has too many councils, too many DHBs and too much unproductive governance for its size and population. It also has too many aviation organisations serving too many interest groups. You might like to think that this diversity reflects a desire for inclusivity and the accommodation of opinions but – like MMP – such fragmentation primarily serves the interests of power brokers inside and outside politics – as we always observe (with baffling surprise) in the party power-broking that follows most general elections and from which all voters are excluded. Little wonder that general aviation in New Zealand has no united voice, the people lower down in GA feel they have no influence, bureaucrats feel secure in paying only lip service to them and our politicians think they need pay no attention to GA, let alone consider setting up an APPG for it.

Paul said he would send an article about it, and he did. Paul writes: Having operated a vast array of aircraft since its inception in 1929 and been involved in most aspects of the industry, the Kaitaia Aero Club eventually found itself with one modest class 2 microlight and the inability to train GA students in it. The decision was made to sell it and find an LSA capable of carrying out both tasks. After much discussion, gnashing of teeth, and investigation, a Cessna 162 Skycatcher with 110 hours TSN was purchased from Australia. Stuart Caling flew it across the Tasman from Brisbane overnighting at Lord Howe Island and arriving in Kerikeri with half tanks remaining after 7 hours 17minutes! “She purrs along and didn’t miss a beat,” he commented. So after all the negative press about the 162, why did we buy it? First, this was an ‘as new’ condition aircraft available at an exceptionally good price. We spoke to others who had flown them and were pleasantly surprised with their views. There is of course no such thing as the perfect aeroplane, but these are its advantages I see: The engine doesn’t have a radiator with all the associated plumbing, nor dual carburettors that can get out of sync causing crankcase fretting, or a clutch that requires maintenance or a troublesome gear box or an exhaust system that is prone to falling to bits. The Continental O-200 is bulletproof: the simplest engine ever made and the ‘D’ model is the latest version. McCauley designed a composite propeller specifically for this aircraft. The wing loading is 11 lb/sqft as opposed to some others with 8lb/sqft meaning the aircraft has better penetration and higher landing speed. (Landing an aircraft at 27 kts is not a great thing in rough conditions.) The wing is completely different to the venerable Cessna 150, with proper ailerons and flaps without flaptracks that have reverted to manual operation. All flight control surfaces now have smooth skins, not the crinkle type Cessna is known for. The cabin doors open from the top with the wing struts behind allowing for easy access. All inspection panels are flush and attached with machine screws into anchor nuts, as are all their internal fittings. Gone are self-tapping screws - Yeah! Most of the control cable runs are visible and easy to inspect, and once the baggage compartment net is unclipped the entire rear fuselage is exposed. This Cessna can’t be plagued with the ‘sliding seat’ syndrome as they are both fixed, although they will hinge forward to allow access to the extensive baggage compartment. By making use of a neat engineering design, the rudder pedals are easily adjusted and the joy stick is a master stroke being every bit like a normal joy stick except it comes out of the instrument panel instead of the floor, thereby keeping out of the way of your legs! The aircraft has a Garmin G300 EFIS system and MFD designed specifically for this aircraft. All the wiring looms look well laid out, protected and labelled, and include a NATO ground power receptacle and a secondary battery. Being lighter, smoother and smaller than a Cessna 150, it has a much more sprightly performance on the same power as well as nice flying qualities. Of course there will always be aircraft that can boast faster, higher, further, land slower, etc. but that’s not what we were seeking. So why did Cessna cease production? I believe this corporate giant shot themselves in the foot. Remember when the entire Cessna 100 series Maintenance Manual was covered by one solitary F K book? Now in a PC Gone Mad, litigation adverse corporation, the documentation is unbelievable. The Illustrated Parts Catalogue alone for this humble little aircraft is 630 pages; it could have be done in 20. The first drawing (of a tow-bar) appears on page 86! There are 58 pages alone dedicated to Decals. A juggernaut like Cessna was never going to be able to compete with leaner manufacturers. It cost more than they bargained for, they met with resistance about it being built in China and it turned out heavier than planned. Nevertheless, The Kaitaia Aero Club got an aeroplane that is easy to fly, easy and cheap to maintain without shaking itself to bits as many others do. This delightful aeroplane will be around for a long time allowing us to slash our hire rate, increase our utilisation and move our club forward again.

Paul Muller Kaitaia Aero Club chooses Cessna Skycatcher Kaitaia Aero Club’s (nearly) new Skycatcher, now registered ZK-KTC. 57 2019 #2 ZK Review Profile contributed by Paul MullerZK-NGB BRM Aero Bristell LSA One of the best things about the new BRM Aero Bristell aeroplane according to New Zealand Agent, Kevin Henton, is the more than adequate cockpit space for his 6’3” frame and the three luggage lockers. The BRM Aero Bristell is a Czech low-wing, side-by-side two-seat ultralight and light-sport aircraft, designed by Milan Bristela and is produced by BRM Aero. The aircraft is of all aluminium construction apart from the rudder, wing locker covers and the cowling which are carbon fibre. Seats and interior are leather, and the instrument panel features dual Garmin G3X Touch screens with integrated G3X Auto pilot with GMC307 control panel and Kannad ELT. ZK-NGB was straight off the production line in the Czech Republic and sent to New Zealand to be on display in time for Field Days. This is the LSA version with the 8.13m short wings and powered with a Rotax 912 ULS engine. With the short wings comes a faster cruise speed at 120 kts but with a low stall speed of 35 kts and very good stability in turbulence. There are two 60 litre tanks from which fuel is consumed at around 19 litres per hour (120 kts) or much less when you are throttled back. This aeroplane with its very striking red and white colour scheme is available for sale (see advert for Anderson Aviation in this issue) or you can fully personalise your own version with the over 200 different specification options. ZK-GRK Glaser-Dirks DG-100G ELAN The Wellington Gliding Club was delighted to add GRK to its fleet in January. The Glaser-Dirks DG-100G is a single seat glider with a 15m wingspan and glide ratio of 39:1. A focus for the Wellington club since moving to its new home at the Greytown Soaring Centre three years ago has been growing and developing its youth membership - and the acquisition of GRK reflects the success of that focus (and the enthusiasm, energy, and commitment of the club’s instructors). With many of the club’s youth members progressing to solo and QGP (Qualified Glider Pilot) and wishing to continue on their gliding journey often with the aim of with competition flying, the club has experienced significantly increased demand for single seat gliders. To accommodate that demand and with the assistance of families of some youth members (and the sterling efforts of Georg - the club’s man on the ground in Germany), Wellington Gliding Club had the good fortune to find a pristine DG 100 in Munich. Since commencing operations in NZ, GRK has been constantly in the air (in no short measure due to the fabulous flying conditions in the Wairarapa) including a 5-hour solo flight for one of the club’s youth members. It’s great to see GRK find a home with the Wellington Gliding Club and contributing to the development of the next generation of NZ glider pilots.
