Aviation safety is critical to everyone who flies as a pilot or passenger. The Flight Test NZ culture is to ensure the highest possible standards of aviation safety. We achieve this via our safety management system as well as engaging  experienced examiners and instructors.

I am privileged to work with the flight examiners and instructors of FTNZ. They are passionate about both manned and unmanned aviation, wanting to pass on their knowledge and skills to each pilot they check or train. We want the pilot to not only pass the check flight, but to learn something new”.  Steve Kingsbury, CEO, Flight Test NZ
