Each year the Safety Promotion team goes on the road with an AvKiwi Safety Seminar presentation, promoting good safety attitudes.

The presentations take about an hour, and afterwards there is usually time to socialise, swap stories, and chat with the presenter and others.

An AvKiwi subject could be anything from Fuel Management to Situational Awareness. Often an accident or incident is profiled in an effort to learn lessons from the experience of others.

We visit up to 30 towns throughout the country, from coast to coast and from Invercargill to Kerikeri.

2017 Fuel for Thought

The runway behind you,
The air above you,
and the fuel you left behind…

Whether you’re starving for new information, or too exhausted to find out the real gas, there’s more to fuel than you think.

As well as e-learning, there's a free app Know Your Aircraft.

2016 What Happened Here

A wise person once said, “mistakes are lessons”. That is never more true than in aviation.

Through accident investigation, the CAA and TAIC sift the causes of aircraft accidents and incidents. There are no new accidents – learn from those who have flown the paths before you.

2015 WX Matters

Weather can be a puzzle – you’ve got all the pieces,
but how do you fit them together to create the right picture?

Accident investigations suggest that pilots who had weather related accidents didn’t understand the weather.

The 2015 seminar can help you navigate your way through the mass of information out there.

2014 Personal Preflight

Are you ready to fly?

You’ve completed your planning, the aircraft is ready, but have you completed your Personal Preflight?

You would never fly an unsafe aircraft, but are you in top condition?

2013 Get the Mental Picture

Situational awareness is the key to collision avoidance. Improving your situational awareness skills could save your life one day.

Simply put, situational awareness can be described as, “What was, what is, and what might be”.

2012 Plane Talking

The pilot priorities of Aviate - Navigate - Communicate are well-known. Plane Talking is all about the communicate part, and is made up of an e-learning, a Good Aviation Practice booklet, and a CAA Advisory Circular.
