What are the rules around low flying aircraft ?
From time to time the Council receives notice of flights e.g. for helicopters delivering loads to difficult hillside building sites, that require flying at less than 1000 feet above a built up area or less than 500 feet above any other area, which are the lowest heights generally permitted under rule 91.311 of the Civil Aviation rules. The rule allows flights below those heights for bona fide reasons, subject to specified controls.
Complaints
Complaints recieved about low flying can be directed to the Civil Aviation Authority's Field Safety Advisor who investigates breaches of aviation law locally. Please refer to the Civil aviation website below, which is NOT a city council site.
If you are planning an event which requires low flying
Again contact the Civil Aviation Authority. It would also pay to notify the police, keeping in mind what other public events are on if you are going to fly and flying over waterways may require the permission of the harbour master.
Can I land a helicopter or any aircraft on a park?
Approval may be given to approved operators to land aircraft on a reserve or open space for a specific and generally one-off purpose. Application should be made in writing to the Leisure and Parks Customer Centre.
Approval may be subject to obtaining a resource consent and ground control plus insurance for public liability.
Hot Air Ballooning
Refer to link below for Hot air ballooning code of practice.
Noise from low flying aircraft
Enquiries/complaints regarding noise from aircraft in flight are specifically excluded from the Council's control under the Resource Management Act 1991.
