What you should know about Kiwi Shuttles
Our brand new Aeroplanes have three point safety belts for all our passengers. These are the modern self inflation type and are so comfortable passengers soon forget they are wearing them. All our pilots undergo regular training to ensure they maintain a high level of competence. We employ GPS tracking technology so that we can keep track of aircraft for safety purposes.
As we have the privilege of flying in one of the worlds most beautiful and pristine environments, our company decided that whatever we did, we needed to ensure that the environment we operated in was protected. One of the advantages of viewing our glorious wilderness from the air is that it has absolutely no physical impact upon it. Glenorchy Air has replaced all except one of our aeroplanes with latest technology machines. Our GA8 Airvan, an eight seater aeroplane, is the most technologically advanced aircraft of its type flying today. It has the smallest carbon footprint of any aircraft operating into Milford Sound from Queenstown or Wanaka.
Whenever possible we make sure that every passenger seat is full when we fly to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum. By using the GPS systems our new aircraft are equipped with, we can fly at heights and directions that allow us to reduce the effects of any headwinds to a minimum. All our pilots are trained to operate engines in the most efficient manner possible. By operating our engines at the highest allowable manifold pressure, as well as the lowest rpm setting for any particular power output, and making sure that the fuel to air ratio is on the lean side of optimum for the efficient burning of the fuel, we can obtain a significant saving of fuel.
During the summer months we avoid whenever possible the Gertrude and Homer passes. Where we do follow the line of a track we aim to fly at high level which reduces noise on the ground, or we descend along its axis at low RPM and low power which can make the aircraft unnoticeable against the natural background noise. Katie is back in New Zealand skies after going back to Australia for a few years she couldn't resist the majestic Fiordland. Glenorchy Air have been operating with this model aircraft since 2003 and have recently added a third GA8 to our fleet after the great feedback and performance of our first one. The GA8 Airvan takes 7 passengers in comfort with 3 point harnesses, headsets to hear the pilots commentary and window seats with unimpeded views for all passengers.
The GA8 Airvan's are of a new design that emphasises safety, certified in 2003 by the Australian company Gippsland Aeronautics. The Cessna 172 is a well tested and highly successful aircraft, with the first model being released in 1956 and over 60,00 produced up to the current day
