Ohakea SectorThis Sunday our SNO (Sunday Night Operations) sees us fly in part of the country that doesn't quite see as much action as other places, the Ohakea Sector.

Ohakea Sector consists of the airspace above the Tongariro, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu, and Wairarapa regions of the lower North Island.

The sector's major airport is Palmerston North (NZPM), which sees regular flights to several centres in New Zealand. Other significant airports include regional centres Napier (NZNR) and Wanganui (NZWU), and the Air Force base at Ohakea (NZOH).

In addition, there are many other airports in the sector for VFR flight or local light aircraft movements.

HOW MANY AIRPORTS CAN YOU VISIT IN THE OHAKEA SECTOR IN JUST ONE NIGHT????

The Ohakea Sector
Event Time: Sunday 23rd November 2008 19:00-22:00 NZDT (06:00-09:00UTC)
Flight Time: 1 hour maximum (Depending on Aircraft type and route flown) - Can you fly to more than one?

Flight Club ROuteThis Thursday we will be travelling from Paraparaumu to Masterton via Kapiti Island, Waikanae River, over Akatarawa Rd, the Hutt River, Wainuiomata Valley, Orongorongo then up over Lake Wairarapa to Masterton.

We will be visiting some of the most scenic areas of New Zealand in this flight so this is a great week to come along and see what the Flight Club is all about.

We are very helpful and welcoming and keen to see pilots of all skill levels joining us as we informally explore our beautiful virtual nation.

Event time: Thursday 20th November 19:00 to 20:30 - Note the shorter flight time, hopefully this will allow you all time to join in.

Full details including the route are available at: VATNZ Forum

Book your flight in vroute to let other pilots know of the numbers that can be expected
