New Zealand Long Haul
Queenstown, New Zealand
Our new cargo contract has us flying supplies from Honolulu, Hawaii to Queenstown, NZ. Time to break out the big iron! Due to some stipulations in our workman's comp policy, legs are limited to 3 hours or 1800 NM on this route. Too many sore butt injuries it seems.
Being pilots of the highest quality, you have choices in routing. You can fly any route you wish provided you don't exceed the time/distance limits per leg. You must also stop at the Mandatory stops enroute.
The 3 MANDATORY stops on this route:
-
Port Moresby, New Guinea (AYPY)
-
Launceston, Tasmania (YMLT)
-
Queenstown, New Zealand (NZQN)
Finding routing through the pacific is challenging. You can go south island hopping to New Guinea or you can island hop north to asia then south. It is up to you!
