Covid level 3 ban on recreational flying.
The Government ban on recreational flying continues under level 3. You can read the CAA information here https://www.aviation.govt.nz/
Do not fly.
Ground handling.
Due to the various risks involved including "accidental" take off or flight Ground handling must not be done on or near any flying site under Covid level 3 restrictions.
Choose a large, flat, obstacle free place, in your local area, away from flying sites and make sure you have landowner’s permission. Better still wait until we come out of level 3 and then do some ground handling before you go flying.
