FENZ Training from Glenorchy Airstrip

Apr 5, 2024

Hi all,

Please be advised that Fire & Emergency NZ (FENZ) are planning on undertaking some aerial firefighting training near the Greenstone River Mouth on the 1st and 2nd of May. Operating times would be approximately 1300 – 1630 on the 1st of May and 1000 - 1600 on the 2nd of May. The aircraft involved in this training will be arriving and departing from Glenorchy Airstrip.

Four aircraft are expected to be involved in the training – one fixed-wing and three helicopters. The helicopters will work over the Greenstone River Mouth and return only for fuel. The fixed-wing aircraft will be transiting across the lake to the Greenstone River from the airstrip throughout the day.

If you have any questions regarding this, please let us know so that we can pass along to FENZ.  

Cheers,

Jamie
