The Kingdom of New Zealand has about 68,300 registered general aviation aircraft. About 56% of the general aviation aircraft are privately owned, of which about 12,000 aircraft are engaged in commercial flights by individuals, 3,200 are enterprises using general aviation aircraft to engage in their own business flights, and about 10,000 general aviation aircraft are used to engage in non-business activities of social welfare nature.

Previously, due to the war, the former Ministry of Defense and the current Ministry of Defense directly ordered a complete ban on flying, and all of them were forced to ground. As citizens of a province that has just become a defeated country or is still at war, they can understand it.

After all, no one knows what your plane is going to do after takeoff until it stabilizes, and what if you carry a lot of explosives and throw them on the heads of the soldiers? The other is that these planes are not equipped with the identification system authorized by the Ministry of Defense, even if they are allowed to fly, they will not dare, in case they are recognized as missiles by the missile automatic defense system and directly destroyed with missiles, they will not even have a chance to dodge, but the world knows the terrifying speed of the Exoces.

Fortunately, the work is being carried out across the country, and several provinces in Australia are nearing completion, and Alaska, which has the most aircraft, has also carried out nearly half of it, but Hawaii has just begun.

The Ministry of Defense is really pleased with the number of pilots registered with the Royal Government, which has nearly 140,000 pilots, of which about 117,000 are general aviation pilots, and the vast majority of them are in service.

The right to use low-altitude airspace is liberalized, and the construction of airports must also keep up. In this regard, it has to be said that the United States, Australia and New Zealand were indeed much more open than other countries, especially Asian countries.

Alaska is probably the most developed region of general aviation in the kingdom now. Previously, commercial flights carried four times the number of people per year compared to the total population of the province. Due to the inconvenient land and water transportation and high construction costs, self-driving aircraft flights have become the main way for the public to travel in the area, and even leisure activities such as fishing are mainly flying. Alaska has 31,700 registered aircraft, 73,000 pilots on record, 587 land airports, 83 helicopter airports, and 840 recorded takeoffs and landings. In addition, there are thousands of lakes that are fed by water on the planes taking off and landing.

Even though there are thousands of airports of all sizes, Alaska still has 56 airports under construction.

Therefore, as the person in charge of civil aviation affairs of the Kingdom, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Ministry of Communications. At the beginning of the planning, it was required that all the underlying administrative agencies in the country should have airports, and the provincial governments must have 4F-level airports that can take off and land super-large passenger aircraft and transport aircraft, and the scale of airports in sub-regions should not be less than 4D-level. The rest will be designed and built with a slightly more advanced vision according to local conditions.

Thousands of new airports are initially planned, and thousands of airports will be rebuilt and expanded, and the investment alone will be hundreds of billions of S$. I have to say that the charm and courage of the Ministry of Transportation.

What moved the Minister of Communications even more was Cui Zhiyuan's bold plan. After layers of submission, when it was finally sent to Ji Feng, Ji Feng actually approved it. Originally, this was not within Ji Feng's purview, but the State Council had recently been established, and if it was difficult to make up his mind about some things, he would come over and ask Ji Feng's opinion, and Ji Feng had made decisions on some things.

In the future, the right to fly an airplane will be almost the same as the right to drive a car for citizens of the Kingdom of New Zealand. Citizens have the right to use any civil airport. And on a first-come, first-served basis.

The passage of the Civil Air Traffic Act of the Kingdom of New Zealand may seem a little distant to the ordinary citizens of the Kingdom. But for many citizens who love to fly, it is an absolute joy.

The airspace management of the future kingdom is relatively relaxed, which has been revealed through the air traffic bill. To put it simply, in most of the Kingdom of New Zealand, as long as there is an aeronautical radio station registered by the Ministry of Defence, it can fly freely below 3,000 meters above sea level; With just one more C-mode transponder also registered and authorized by the Ministry of National Defense (priced at about S$3,500), the altitude limit can be raised to 5,400 meters above sea level; As for below the altitude of 200-360 meters (true height), even the radio station can be left behind. In some controlled airspace, aircraft that observe flight rules can also enter, but the conditions and procedures are more complicated.

The airspace division of the Kingdom of New Zealand will adopt the internationally accepted airspace system, naming A, B, C, D, E and G airspace.

Category A is an absolute control area that spans the entire territory of the Kingdom of New Zealand at altitudes ranging from 18,000 feet to 60,000 feet, and air traffic controllers are responsible for all flight intervals. This airspace is only allowed to fly according to instrument flight rules, and this airspace is not allowed to fly by ordinary small planes, because there is no sealed pressurization equipment, and the cold and lack of oxygen can be fatal. This airspace is only allowed to fly according to IFR, all aircraft are equipped with flight intervals, ATC services are provided, two-way communication between ground and air is required, and ATC permission is required for aircraft to enter the airspace.

Category B is a terminal control area, generally established near a busy airport, from the ground to a maximum of 8,000 feet of airspace, which is shaped like an inverted pyramid, this type of airspace is the airspace surrounding the busiest airport, based on aircraft operating and performing passenger missions in accordance with instrument flight rules.

Flying in this controlled airspace, there should be corresponding on-board equipment, such as secondary radar transponders, so that the control department can determine the altitude and position of the pilot on the radar; It is also necessary to have the appropriate radio equipment in order to maintain continuous two-way communication. Prior permission to enter such airspace is also required. This kind of airspace is not for ordinary people either.

Category C is the airport radar service area, which is generally established in medium-sized airports, from the ground or from a certain height to 4,000 feet above the ground, and the area is generally composed of two parts, namely the inner ring (radius of 5 nautical miles) and the outer ring (radius of 10 nautical miles, the lower limit of 1,200 feet). The pilot maintains communication with the controller, and the aircraft has a transponder, and the provision of the interval depends on the type of flight.

Category D is a control zone, which is generally established at airports with control towers. The airspace with a radius of 5 nautical miles from the ground to the lower limit of the control of such airspace, which includes the "airport traffic control area" other than the above, that is, the airport area with a tower. The airports corresponding to this type of airspace are not too large or too busy, and the traffic is comparable to that of Category C.

Category E is a transition zone, and Category G is unregulated airspace, which generally refers to airspace below 1,200 feet. Flight safety is the responsibility of the pilot. All unregulated airspace from the surface to 700 feet or 1,200 feet that is not classified as Class A, B, C, D, or E airspace is Class G airspace. Airports without towers are part of Class G airspace.

Of course, there are other types of airspace in the Kingdom: special-purpose airspace, restricted areas, restricted areas, and military operations zones. Thereinto. Restricted areas are places that cannot be flown in for a specified period of time, such as shooting zones, government-sensitive areas (State Department and specific government agencies, Capitol buildings, etc.), and there are very few such areas. marked on aeronautical charts; A restricted zone is an airspace that pilots cannot enter at certain times and altitudes. For example, it is classified as an airspace for military aviation exercises, parachuting, shooting and other activities.

The Air Traffic Act of the Kingdom of New Zealand better reflects the principle that "airspace is a national resource, and every citizen has the right to use airspace", finds a balance between safety and efficiency, creates relaxed airspace conditions for visual flight, and greatly promotes the development of general aviation.

It can be said that after the passage of the Air Traffic Act now, the Kingdom of New Zealand will become the world's most privileged country with a vast and relaxed visual flight environment, where people can travel as if they were driving. Fly from Alaska to Sydney and from Auckland to Jeju Island. Fly from Hawaii to Socotra without anyone's approval or phone call. On the way, you can lower any civil airport to refuel and rest.

Compared to air traffic, ground traffic will also be greatly improved, because the new road traffic safety law has no speed limit on all highways in the country, and you can run 100 kilometers per hour or 300 kilometers per hour as long as you want and the road allows, provided that your car is powerful.

However, urban roads and non-highways are not in this range, and the speed limit has been made according to the actual local situation, but citizens do not need to worry about not being able to run, even if it is an ordinary suburban road, the speed limit will be more than 100 kilometers, of course, the speed limit will be reduced in areas with poor visibility.

With the end of the two-day session of the National Assembly, the dust has settled on all the bills that affect the whole country and are closely related to almost every citizen, and the vast majority of citizens are happy to see it come to fruition, after all, everyone's interests are legally protected.

Tens of thousands of citizens and institutions with their own planes have finally breathed a sigh of relief, and although they were really worried that the state would ban the use of general airspace, although this fear may seem unnecessary, nothing can be done until the bill is finally passed. In addition, after the passage of the bill, the Civil Aviation Authority published on the government's website the list of the first batch of aircraft that will be allowed to take off in a week at the latest.

Compared with the happy citizens of the Kingdom of New Zealand, the people of other countries who are paying attention to the New Zealand Parliament are a little uncomfortable. The welfare is good, medical care and education are all free, even if it is like the country where you live, seeing a doctor is simply the life of the whole family, and the whole family is mobilized for the sake of the child going to school. The salary is much higher than that of their own country, even if they are newly enrolled college students, they can easily buy their first car, and if you look at the traffic flow of Jeju University every day, you can see that countless happy college students do not like to take the bus and dormitory, and they directly drive out to rent a house, and the rent is even cheap, which makes the citizens of other countries ashamed to death.

Under the envy and jealousy of citizens of many countries, the immigration application website of the Kingdom of New Zealand immigration bureau has poured into a large number of immigration applications, although many people know that they may not be eligible, but there are too many people in the world who have the idea of trying and not dying, which has invisibly increased the huge workload of the immigration officials.

Sooner or later, the curtain will end, Congress has become a thing of the past, on the nineteenth day of the first month, the day after Valentine's Day, Kota Kinabalu International Airport ushered in the heads of five countries, they jointly came to visit Ji Feng, as for the reason, it is naturally the alien space warship over North America that the whole world is afraid of.
