Aotearoa 05 NZMW to NZMC

This is a virtual airline achievement created by Fliggity Air.

Makarora is a small community within the Queenstown-Lakes district of the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. It’s situated on State Highway 6 on the eastern side of Haast Pass and adjacent to the Makarora River. Local tourism operators offer scenic plane flights and jetboat tours on the river which is the border of the Mount Aspiring National Park.

Directions: Depart NZMW heading north and follow NZ State Highway 6 and the Makarora River which will eventually turn southeast. You will continue northeast where you’ll see the Haast River take its place along the highway as it follows the mountain pass until you get to a large valley just after Mt Brewster (8255ft) to your right. Continue following the river until you come upon Diana Falls, then the Wills River and valley to your right. Turn to an east-northeast heading following the Wills River. Mount Brewster will be on your right. Turn right into the valley and begin climbing heading toward RGLAR where you'll need to be around 9500ft. From there head southeast passing over HBUSH where you'll begin your fairly aggressive descent into the valley. As you reach the valley turn northbound and you'll find NZMC just before the valley forks.

Criteria

Depart from NZMW, fly to and land at NZMC (48 NM). Your aircraft must not exceed an altitude of 10,000 ft (ASL).
