Hi Guys,
Im brand new to this forum, I was thinking the other day that there are many youtube channels that follow POV Flying in the US & Canada with the use of GoPro's but theres nothing like this in New Zealand. I thought it could be an awesome idea to have a channel dedicated to POV VFR/IFR flying in GA aircraft in New Zealand as we have some of the most beautiful VFR flying, airports & scenery in the world.
Im currently only a trainee pilot at the moment but am keen for some great VFR adventures around New Zealand with like minded pilots that would like to document their flights.
Anyway let me know what you think, heres a link to my first video:
As always subscribe & like for more!
Feel free to get in contact with me if you have any video content thats worth viewing!
Cheers,
Connor

Good idea. Some of our members use GoPros and I've seen some great footage on Facebook/Youtube. Where are you doing your flight training? I'm currently working towards a BFR with the Canterbury Aero Club (only 13 years overdue!!).
EDIT: Ha ha just recognized West Melton in your video so you must be with the club too!

I've got plenty of NZ flying footage on my YouTube channel (search for K1W1fly) from GoPro's on my aircraft. I personally don't shoot POV with a head mounted camera (It would annoy me...), but I often run up to 3 cameras mounted on the plane. Making videos when flying is great fun, and allows you share the experience, so good on you for doing it. I look forward to seeing more flying around your patch!

Cheers lads, if you havent heard the likes of 'FlightChops', check out his Youtube chanel. Could easily get something like this going in NZ, hes got some very interesting stuff.
Yes Baz im training at CAC usually fly from West Melton on a Saturday! Checked out your chanel Bruce, youve got some great shots. Loved the old airshow clips aswell haha.
Will have some new footage coming out soon, looking forward to seeing more of yours aswell!

Hey Conner. Yes am an avid watcher of Flightchops videos, a must see especially if you are looking at going into a Cub for a tailwheel rating (which I will be) Have you see the latest video with the end result of the cub (not being taxied by him) running into a concrete bollard by the fuel pumps? For those wanting to see what happens when a aircraft's prop hits a solid object at a high*ish) power setting search for Flightchops on Youtube. The noise was heard all over the airfield (somewhere in Canada)

The noise was heard all over the airfield (somewhere in Canada) The first time I skimmed your post Baz I thought it said the noise was heard all over Canada  Yes, the cub was a pretty sorry sight but at least no one was hurt (other than the owners blood pressure). |

So much for those who obey the "non-disclosure" of RT comms Agreed, maybe the laws in the US and Canada are different? Just done my RTFO course and learned the penalty here is upwards of $30,000NZD for an individual and $200,000NZD for a body corporate! |

From the lengthy discussion on this topic on this site I gathered it was only NZ that has that law.

I think it's probably a "left-over" from times of conflict, and never been addressed. I believe another left-over from the days of horse and carriage also allows you to pee on the left-hand front wheel of your vehicle, as long as you are holding the reins - but I suggest you don't try it!

Yay, same as the law that requires me to wear a high viz vest, hard hat, and steel toe capped shoes while I install blinds in a customer's renovated house because it is a "construction site" ( (I'm the last guy there...all by myself). In fact, I'm not allowed above the first step on my three step ladder because it is required that I am no less than two steps from the top of my ladder (I have a foldable step stool that is higher than the first step on my ladder that is acceptable (!)). Ironically, in a house across the road where the householder is already residing I have to wear socks only on their carpet, and their kids are running around in bare feet while I negotiate their toys strewn across the floor! I wonder if OSH would like to wipe my butt too...
