There are about 68,300 general aviation aircraft registered in the Kingdom of New Zealand. About 56% of general aviation aircraft are privately owned, of which about 12,000 are commercially engaged by individuals, 3,200 are used by enterprises to engage in corporate business flights, and about 10,000 general aviation aircraft are used to engage in non-commercial activities of social welfare.
Previously, due to war, the former Ministry of Defense now ordered the Ministry of National Defense to ban flights completely and were forced to ground. As citizens of provinces who have just become defeated countries or are still in a state of war, they can still understand it.
After all, before it stabilizes, no one knows what your plane is going to do after taking off. What if you carry a large amount of explosives and throw them on the heads of soldiers? Another is that these planes do not have an enemy-to-me recognition system authorized by the Ministry of National Defense. They dare not even be allowed to fly. If they are recognized as a missile and directly destroyed by missiles, they will not even have a chance to dodge. People in the world know the terrifying speed of Feiyuxing.
Fortunately, this work is underway across the country, and several provinces in Australia are about to finish. Alaska, which has the most aircraft, has also carried out nearly half of it, except for Hawaii.
The number of pilots registered with the Kingdom Government really made the Ministry of Defense happy. There were nearly 140,000 pilots, including about 117,000 general aviation pilots, and most of them were in service.
With the relaxation of the right to use low-altitude airspace, the construction of airports must also keep up. At this point, it has to be said that the United States, Australia, and New Zealand were indeed much more open than other countries, especially Asian countries.
Alaska is probably the most developed region in the Kingdom of General Aviation. Previously, the number of people carried by commercial flights each year was four times the total population of the province. Due to the inconvenient land and water transportation and high construction costs, self-driving aircraft has become the main way for public travel in the region, and even leisure activities such as fishing are mainly used for flights. Alaska Province has 31,700 registered aircraft, 73,000 registered pilots, 587 land airports, 83 helicopter airports, and 840 recorded take-off and landing sites. In addition, there are thousands of lake-supplied watercraft take-off and landing.
Even with thousands of airports of all sizes, Alaska still has 56 airports under construction.
Therefore, as the person in charge of the civil aviation affairs of the Kingdom of Kingdom, the Civil Aviation Bureau under the Ministry of Transportation required that at the beginning of the planning, all lower-level administrative agencies in the country require airports, and provincial governments must have a 4f-level airport with the ability to take off and land super-large passenger aircraft and transport aircraft, and the airport size in the secondary areas shall not be less than 4d-level. The rest will be designed and built with a slightly advanced perspective based on local conditions.
It is initially planned to build thousands of new airports, renovate and expand them to thousands, and this investment alone will reach hundreds of billions of Singapore dollars. I have to say the charm and courage of the Ministry of Transport.
What moved the Minister of Transportation Cui Zhiyuan even more was his bold plan. After layers of submissions and finally being sent to Ji Feng, Ji Feng actually approved it. Originally, this was not within Ji Feng's authority, but the State Council was recently established and some things were difficult to make decisions, they would come over to ask Ji Feng for his opinion. Ji Feng had made some decisions for some things.
In the future, for citizens of the Kingdom of New Zealand, the right to fly an aircraft is almost the same as the right to drive a car. Citizens have the right to use any civil airport and are based on the first arrival and enjoying services.
The passage of the Civil Air Traffic Act of the Kingdom of New Zealand may be a bit far away for countless ordinary citizens of the kingdom. But for many citizens who love flying, it is absolutely a joy to run.
The airspace management of the Kingdom of Future is relatively relaxed, which has been revealed through the Air Traffic Act. Simply put, in most of the lands of the Kingdom of New Zealand, as long as there is an aviation radio station registered by the Ministry of Defense, it can fly freely below 3,000 meters altitude; and only if it is equipped with an additional C-mode transponder (price is about SGD 3,500), the altitude limit can be increased to 5,400 meters at an altitude of 200-360 meters (really high), even radio stations can be left. In some controlled airspace, aircraft with visual flight rules can also enter, but the conditions and procedures are relatively complicated.
The airspace division of the Kingdom of New Zealand will adopt the internationally common airspace system, name a, b, c, d, e and g airspace.
Class A is an absolute control area, spanning the entire Kingdom of New Zealand, with an altitude from 18,000 feet to 60,000 feet. Air traffic control personnel are responsible for the intervals between all flights. This airspace is only allowed to fly according to the instrument flight rules. Small aircraft in this airspace cannot fly because there is no sealed supercharge equipment, and cold and hypoxia will cause fatality. This airspace is only allowed to fly according to IfR. All aircraft are equipped with flight intervals and provide Atc services. It requires two-way communication between ground and air. Aircraft need Atc permission to enter the airspace.
Class B is a terminal control area, generally built near a busy airport, an airspace from the ground to a maximum of 8,000 feet, and is shaped like an inverted pyramid. This type of airspace is airspace surrounding the airspace around the busiest airport, based on aircraft operating and performing passenger missions according to instrument flight rules.
Flying in this controlled airspace, there must be corresponding airborne equipment, such as secondary radar transponders, so that the control department can determine the altitude and position of the pilot on the radar; and corresponding radio equipment must also be provided to maintain continuous bidirectional communication. In advance, permission to enter this type of airspace is not something ordinary people can go to.
Class C is an airport radar service area, which is generally built in a medium-sized airport, from the ground or from a certain height to 4,000 feet above the ground. The area is generally composed of two parts, namely the inner ring (radius 5 nautical miles) and the outer ring (radius 10 nautical miles, with a lower limit of 1,200 feet). Pilots must maintain communication with the controller. The aircraft has a transponder, and the provision of the interval depends on the type of flight.
Class d is a controlled zone, generally established in an airport with a controlled tower. It has a radius of 5 nautical miles, and the airspace with a lower limit from the ground to such airspace. This airspace includes the "airport traffic control area" other than the above, that is, the airport area with a tower. The airport corresponding to this type of airspace is not too large or not too busy, and the traffic is equivalent to Class C.
Class e is a transition zone, and Class g is a non-regulated airspace, generally refers to airspace below 1,200 feet. Flight safety is the responsibility of the pilot himself. All non-regulated airspaces from the surface to 700 feet or 1,200 feet and do not belong to Class a, b, c, d, and e airspace are Class g airspaces. Airports without towers are part of Class g airspace.
Of course, the Kingdom also has some other types of airspace: special purpose airspace, restricted areas, restricted areas and military operation areas. Among them, restricted areas refer to places that cannot be entered within the specified time, such as shooting areas, government-sensitive areas (State Council and specific government agencies, the Capitol, etc.). There are few such areas. They are marked on the aviation map; restricted areas are airspaces that pilots cannot enter at specific times and at specific altitudes. For example, airspaces that are classified into military aviation exercises, parachuting, shooting and other activities.
The Kingdom of New Zealand Air Traffic Act better reflects the principle that "airspace is a national resource, and every citizen enjoys the right to use it", and has found a balance between safety and efficiency, creating loose airspace conditions for visual flight, and greatly promoting the development of general aviation.
It can be said that after the Air Traffic Act is now passed, the Kingdom of New Zealand will become the best country in the world with a vast and relaxed visual flight environment, and people can travel like a car. Fly from Alaska to Sydney, from Auckland to Jeju Island, and from Hawaii to Socotra Island without anyone's approval, and no need to talk to anyone. Midway through, you can land any civil airport to refuel and rest.
Compared with air traffic, ground traffic will also be greatly improved, because the new road traffic safety law has made no speed limits on all highways across the country. As long as you want and the road allows, you can run 100 kilometers per hour or 300 kilometers per hour, provided that your car must be powerful.
However, urban roads and non-highways are not in this range. Speed ​​limits are made based on local actual conditions. However, citizens do not need to worry about not being able to run. Even if it is the case, the speed limit will be above 100 kilometers, and of course, the speed limit will be reduced in areas with poor vision.
With the end of the two-day Congress meeting, all bills involving the whole country and almost every citizen have been settled. The vast majority of citizens are happy to see it. After all, from a legal perspective, everyone's interests are guaranteed.
Tens of thousands of citizens and institutions who own their own planes finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that the country would ban the use of general airspace. Although this concern seemed a bit redundant, nothing could be done before the bill was finally passed. Moreover, after the bill was passed, the Civil Aviation Administration announced on the government website that the first batch of aircraft that would be allowed to be launched will be issued in the latest week.
Compared with the happy citizens of the Kingdom of New Zealand, other people from other countries who are paying attention to this New Zealand Parliament feel a little uncomfortable. Good welfare, medical care, and education are exempted. Even like the country where you are, it is like taking the whole family's life to go to school. The whole family is mobilized for the children to go to school. After the salary is converted, it is much higher than that of their own country. Even college students who have just entered school can easily buy their first car. Look at the traffic flow of Jeju University every day, you will know that countless happy college students don't like to take buses and stay in dormitories. They drive out to rent a house directly, and the rent is even cheaper, which makes citizens of other countries feel ashamed.
Under the envy and jealousy of citizens of many countries, a large number of immigration applications have poured into the immigration application website of the Kingdom of New Zealand Immigration Bureau. Although many people know that they may not meet the requirements, there are too many people in this world who have the idea of ​​trying it out without dying, which has invisibly added huge workload to the officials of the Immigration Bureau.
