New IF Classroom

 
Nelson Aviation College is proud to announce that it is constructing a purpose built IF classroom at the northern end of the campus. It will be completed by 15 April and will house our new logable simulator. Progress is going to plan with the transportable classroom now fully relined and gib-stopped. Special thanks to all our suppliers, especially Croydon Hodge of Croyd's Construction, Motueka.

Katrina's Daily Blog

 
Katrina Witney (one of our 'A' Cat Instructors at Nelson Aviation College) will be travelling around New Zealand in March and April on New Zealand's only PBY-5A "Catalina" twin-engine World War Two Canso amphibious flying boat, ZK-PBY. It is currently the only air worthy PBY-5A in Australasia. There are very few "Catalina's" left in the world. Follow her trip via her daily blog starting on 23rd March.
