Caution In the week before and after the airshow, large numbers of aircraft movements may occur in the vicinity of Wanaka aerodrome and the Lake Hawea, Lake Dunstan and Lake Wanaka areas. When the restricted area is in place, ALL PILOTS ARE REMINDED to follow the procedures listed. An aerodrome flight information service (AFIS) will be provided within the restricted area, outside of the display and practice display times. When AFIS is off watch, adhere to unattended aerodrome procedures. In particular pilots need to be alert for high-performance aircraft operations as well as slower non-radio equipped (NORDO) vintage aircraft. A lake front event will take place in Roy s Bay between 1630 and 1730 on FRI 30 MAR 18 NZDT. Displays will include aircraft from the RNZAF, helicopters and amphibious aircraft. Airspace A temporary restricted area (NZR998) is prescribed to facilitate the safety of air navigation as follows: NZR998 Wanaka, Central South Island All that airspace bounded by a circle, radius 5 NM, centred on S 44 43 20.0, E 169 14 44.0 (Wanaka aerodrome).

ATIS: 127.6 MHz (an off-watch message will be broadcast on the ATIS frequency outside Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE hours of service). Prescribed pursuant to Civil Aviation Rules, Part 71 Designation of Airspace, under a delegated authority issued by the Director of Civil Aviation. Services Airways will provide an aerodrome flight information service from the temporary aerodrome flight information office (AFIO) within NZR998. See also Flight Planning and Briefing below. Approach and aerodrome control services will not be provided. Unless prior authorisation is obtained to operate NORDO, all aircraft must have a serviceable VHF radio which is capable of communicating with Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE or Wanaka RADIO/DISPLAY. Pilots of NORDO aircraft wishing to operate within NZR998 must contact the administering authority by telephone for authorisation before entering. Aircraft must listen to the ATIS on 127.6 MHz before entering NZR998. All frequencies used by Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE or Wanaka RADIO/DISPLAY, including the ATIS, have coverage limitations due to terrain. Aerodrome flight information service (AFIS) will not be provided: S S during approved practice times; and when the airshow is in progress. When Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE is not on watch, the following services will be provided: 1. A base radio, call sign Wanaka RADIO (frequency 118.9 MHz). All aircraft on ground at Wanaka should contact Wanaka RADIO in the first instance. 2. Display direction (not ATC) on frequency 120.1 MHz, call sign Wanaka DISPLAY for practice and display aircraft. Airtrafficserviceswillnot be provided when AFIO is not on watch. Wanaka RADIO and Wanaka DISPLAY will not provide traffic information or traffic avoidance advice. No Airways service aerodrome charges will be applicable for operations at Wanaka. Procedures for Operation within NZR998 Operations within NZR998 will be restricted to display aircraft, flights specifically approved by the Display Director and emergency aircraft only: S on the display practice days when display practice is taking place; and on the airshow days when the airshow is in progress. S The following practice and airshow periods will apply: S THU 29 MAR 1000 1200, 1400 1600 NZDT; S FRI 30 MAR 1000 1200, 1300 1500, 1700 1800 NZDT; S SAT 31 MAR 0930 1630 NZDT; S SUN 1 APR 0930 1630 NZST. Note: S Changes will be notified by NOTAM. S S Variations on airshow days may be permitted only by the Display Director. Designated arrival times are the periods outside or between the practice and airshow periods. Check these times carefully as Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE will not be on watch during the practice and airshow periods. During the periods when the airspace is not required for practice or airshow display, an AFIS will be provided by Airways Corporation of New Zealand (Airways). 3
Procedures for Operation when Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE is on watch Joining should be via either TARRAS or DUNSTAN arrival procedure when entering the NZR998. Pilots operating within NZR998 must have aircraft landing and anti-collision lights on, unless otherwise instructed. General Transponder-equipped aircraft should at all times leave their transponder ON and operate Mode C as an additional aid to ACAS-equipped aircraft for collision avoidance. All pilots are reminded that on arrival they are responsible for ensuring that passengers remain on board their aircraft until escorted by the pilot or cabin crew into the public enclosure. On departure, all pilots must arrange to meet their passengers in the public area and then escort them through the departure gate to their aircraft. Departing aircraft, on vacating NZR998, are to report to Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE then continue with enroute frequencies and procedures. Aerodrome Procedures Circuit direction: RWY 11 seal and grass left hand RWY 29 seal and grass right hand Circuit height 2200 ft AMSL. A chart showing aerodrome layout, location of AFIO, extent of manoeuvring area etc. is included in this supplement. Ground Movement Restrictions From 0000 THU 29 MAR 18 NZDT to 0000 MON 2 APR 18 NZST, ground movement areas are restricted on the aerodrome. Additionally, there are two designated helicopter touchdown and lift-off areas. Thesearenottobeusedfortake-offandlanding. Refer to following ground movement chart. See diagrams at end of this document. Communication Failure Procedures Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE on watch If Wanaka CFZ frequency 120.1 MHz is congested, use 118.9 MHz. Arriving aircraft If RTF failure occurs before entering NZR998, DO NOT ENTER. Diverttoa suitable alternate aerodrome. If RTF failure occurs after entering NZR998, continue via published arrival procedure continue in sequence and land in turn. Departing aircraft Follow last acknowledged departure intentions as advised to Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE. Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE off watch If RTF failure occurs before entering NZR998, DO NOT ENTER.

Flight Planning and Briefing General No flight planning or briefing facilities will be available from Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE. These functions are available from the National Briefing Office, IFIS website or IFIS mobile app service. IFR Flight Planning Requirements Pilots wishing to file flight rules I, Y or Z flight plans to or from Wanaka must file these plans via the National Briefing Office or the IFIS website. Flight Plan Termination Due to restricted VHF cover of 122.2 MHz in the Wanaka area, arriving VFR aircraft should terminate flight plans with Christchurch Information by telephone on either 0800 626 756 (landline users); (03) 358 1509 (landline or cell phone users) after landing. Alternatively, termination can be made on 122.2 MHz before reaching TARRAS. Termination MUST BE MADE BEFORE SARTIME. The nominated SARTIME must take into account the possibility of a delay on arrival at Wanaka. Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE will not accept changes to SARTIME or VFR flight plan terminations. Fuel Fuel will not be available from the apron pumps on practice and airshow days. Tanker supply will be available in the light aircraft park. The taxiway to the apron will be blocked by a gate on practice and airshow days. On MON 2 APR 18, to reduce congestion around the fuel pumps, pilots are not to leave their aircraft unattended on the apron or around the fuel pump unless they have prior approval for parking from the airport company. Aircraft left unattended maybemovedattheowner srisk. Holding All aircraft are to carry 30 MINUTES EXTRA HOLDING FUEL IN ADDITION TO NORMAL RESERVES to enable diversions or holding for traffic and/or weather. If aircraft are required to hold within or outside NZR998, orbits should be standard left hand, with landing and anticollision lights on. Arrival Procedures IFR Aircraft Aircraft to cancel IFR and proceed VFR if in uninterrupted VMC. If unable: RNAV aircraft Prior to TARAX holding pattern, contact Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE 120.1 MHz and advise intentions. Wanaka FLIGHT SERVICE will terminate flight plan.
