NZ Aircraft Register

[pvsjetstar]

what has happened to the NZ Aircraft Register? I just signed in and the CAA website is now completely different. I can’t see how you can get a date an aircraft went onto the register, can’t see change of ownership, deletions, etc etc. I wasn’t broken so I hope they haven’t “fixed” it!!! It was one of the best registers in the world!!

Sorry everyone! I used an iPad to check and it seems it is a bit different to using a PC - panic over!,

I assume it was broken in non-obvious ways (like being a pain to maintain because the tools used are no longer supported). It's certainly faster to give results, and to do a new search after getting a result.
Looks like various views that enthusiasts find useful are no longer provided, and it focuses on just giving the 'now' information.

First impression of the new site made me think of CASA's website. Hope that doesn't reflect a general trend.
