3	02/1953	ARC	MI	10-May-02		During a Spot Check it was noticed that this aircraft was being worked on. During a look over the aircraft it was noticed that there had been some substantial damage done which involved the LH Wing Leading edge being removed. The concern is that the CAA Auditor was told that the aircraft was flown back to Hamilton for repair and with the amount of panels removed the CAA Auditor alleges that the aircraft may have not been airworthy as such and there was no Special Flight Permit raised to allow the aircraft to fly back to Hamilton. The Tech log was not sighted to ascertain if the damage had been assessed by a LAME and a Release to Service given. The concern is that there may have been two people in the fight back to Hamilton. The aircraft was flown back by the Acting CFI and Engineer. Damage was only scraches and minor denting to the left wing leading edge and left side of the cowl.

14	05/3501	ACC	CR	03-Nov-05		The helicopter with two on board went missing on a flight from Auckland to Queenstown. The wreckage was found two weeks later by Mt Karioi. Both occupants were deceased. The accident site was located in a small grove of trees situated in a valley surrounded by open farmland, but adjacent to the lower forested area of Mount Karioi where extensive searching had taken place. The helicopter had cut a swath through the trees and undergrowth for a distance of approximately 50 metres, coming to rest against a large tree. The helicopter with two on board went missing on a flight from Auckland to Queenstown. The wreckage was found two weeks later by Mt Karioi, close to Raglan. Both occupants were deceased. Analysis of the radar plots showed that the helicopter ceased following the coast at the Waikato River mouth near Raglan, and headed inland toward Mount Karioi tracking directly for Wanganui aerodrome (a planned refuelling point). The aircraft climbed in response to the rising terrain inland. Weather in the area had been forecast to deteriote and witnesses reported bad weather at the time. These statements suggested that the helicopter encountered weather conditions of increasing wind strength, low cloud and drizzle at this point in the flight. The accident investigation determined that In encountering these conditions the pilot may have lost control of the helicopter as a result of either a loss of visual reference due to inadvertently entering IMC, or while turning away from high ground and/or weather in an effort to maintain visual reference with the ground. The pilot evidently had not obtained full, current weather information for the flight path.	Mt Karioi	RA	Helo	Helicopters	2	0	0	CRUISE	PRIVATE OTHER	Private Operations - Helicopters

The pilot had a sore back and neck and he and his passenger were taken to Waikato Hospital for checks. The aircraft was conducting a private flight from New Plymouth to North Shore and due to deteriorating weather in the Waikato Heads area the pilot decided to turn back to Raglan, land and update his weather information. On landing rollout the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft flipped over on its back with the pilot receiving minor injuries. Afterwards the pilot noticed that the surface of the airfield was very soft with a number of ruts that were not seen from the air. The nose wheel ended up in one of these ruts and pushed the turf up ahead of it resulting in the nose gear failure and the overturn.

34	10/2431	ACC	MA	21-Jun-10		The tail rotor struck an object during some aerial work in Raglan. Evidently some debris was disturbed while landing in a confined area to pick up a crewman. The debris contacted the tail rotor blades leading to the damage. This incident was circulated within the company as a timely reminder to all pilots of the risks to the aircraft when doing this sort of work. During the hover loading of a crewman from a confine, the tail rotor received FOD damage. The confine had been visited before without incident. However on this occasion the aircraft was carrying an external load and had also hovered over the bush while waiting for strops to be removed from the load. This may have led to previously undisturbed debris being drawn towards the helicopter when it repositioned to pick the crewman up.

The crankshaft was damaged, with the engine requiring a rebuild.The pilot joined the circuit for a touch and go. While the pilot believed the approach was normal, the aircraft touched down initially 1/3 of the way into the runway. The aircraft bounced and rather than electing to go around, the pilot allowed the aircraft to float down the runway for a second touchdown. This occurred 1/2 to 2/3 down the remaining runway distance. Despite braking, the aircraft overran the runway end and struck a fence at 20 - 30 knots. The propeller was damaged with a 12 cm chip out of one blade. The crankshaft was damaged and the engine required a strip down and rebuild. The pilot was uninjured.

41	12/585	INC	MA	12-Feb-12	FENCE	A/C overran the runway on landing. The landing distance available was determined to be sufficient for the calm conditions, however the runway was extremely slippery and braking action was limited. The aircraft rolled through the fence beyond the threshold and came to rest on the boundary road. Minor damage to the landing gear and flap from contact with the fence and a sign beyond the threshold.The pilot was returning to Ardmore from Paraparaumu where he had visited a friend and done some sightseeing flights around Kaptiti and to Masterton. The VFR flight progressed normally until Raglan where the weather was starting to deteriorate with the cloudbase lowering. The pilot crossed Raglan at 1500' and noted the windsocks as calm. The pilot decided to continue onto Ardmore with the option of returning to Raglan if required. The flight proceeded North and as the pilot headed East towards Ardmore it became apparent that continuing VFR was not possible. He elected to return to Raglan, have a break, use the toilet and file an IFR flight plan. Checking his Garmin system this also indicated that the wind was from the Northeast at three to five knots. The pilot decided to use 05 and approached in accordance with the flight manual speed of 90 knots. The aircraft touched down just inside the fence and the pilot found the runway very slick due to recent mowing of the grass. The aircraft over ran the runway, breaking through the boundary fence and coming to rest on Marine Parade.	Raglan	RA			0	0	0	LANDING	PRIVATE OTHER	Other

The B737 pilot had reported sighting and passing the Orion and was issued with the descent clearance. The controller realised that the Orion crew had not given consent for the visual separation to be applied and instructed the B737 to maintain FL220. The B737 had commenced descent and had to climb back to FL220. Separation was reduced to less than the required 5nm/1000 ft. for a short while. B737 was enroute CH to AA, and P3 was enroute NP to WP.The B737 pilot required descent, and had reported sighting and passing the Orion. The controller misjudged the overtake speed of the B737, and after giving the aircraft descent obseved that the required radar separation may be infringed. Realising the P3 crew had not given consent for visual separation, the controller told the B737 to maintain FL220. The B737 had commenced descent and had to climb back to FL220. Separation was reduced to less than the required 5nm/1000 ft. for a short while.	Raglan	RA			0	0	0	DESCENT	TRANSPORT PASSENGER A TO B	Airline Operations - Large Aeroplanes
54	14/6081	ACC	CR	26-Dec-14	Accident	Aircraft ditched into the sea near the Raglan Harbour entrance following engine power loss. Following a normal engine run-up and take-off from RWY 05 at NZRA, the aircraft suffered a complete engine power loss at approximately 150 feet. There were no warning signs or indications prior to the power loss occurring. The immediate actions in the event of an engine failure were carried out apart from changing the fuel tank selection due to a lack of time. However, there was sufficient fuel available in both fuel tanks prior to take-off. Engine power was not restored and the pilot manoeuvred the aircraft over the Raglan estuary to avoid people and then successfully ditched the aircraft. The pilot and front seat passenger were able to vacate the aircraft quickly, however the passenger in the rear seat was having difficulty and had to be assisted out of the aircraft which had now submerged. All three persons were assisted to shore by local bystanders who came to their aid. A thorough maintenance investigation was later conducted with emphasis on the engine fuel system and engine controls. No defects were found which could account for the engine power loss experienced by the pilot. It is possible that as the aircraft was operating from a grass runway, a foreign object (blade of grass, grass seed or insect) may have lodged in the carburettor interrupting the fuel flow to the engine. With the submersion of the aircraft in the estuary, this object could have more than likely been flushed from the carburettor.

55	15/678	ASP	MI	15-Jan-15		A/c strayed into controlled airspace due a late change of Nav route. I realized I had strayed into controlled airspace on my return from FL048. I did not realize at the time and believe this was my fault but initiated by a late change of Nav route. I planned to do over head joins at TH, ME, RA and TT with TO as a diversion option. I only found out during my sign out that I could not practice overhead joins at most of these location, even though I had a signed Trainee Flight Authorization form and would instead go to TT and TO too do them. We spoke in my sign out about airspace but because I was no longer descending to ME for an overhead join, I just continued across the airspace without realizing, despite still using the map for navigation purposes.

68	16/2772	ACC	MI	02-Jun-16	FENCE	Minor landing accident. Touched down too fast, unable to stop, overran the airstrip going through the boundary fence. No injuries. TBAThe aircraft ran through the fence at the end of the runway and came to rest about 100m into the next paddock. The aircraft was suffered damage that required it to be moved by truck to a repair facility. The pilot stated that he was attempting a second approach after a go-around due to pedestrians crossing the runway. He described having an aiming point but had trouble maintaining that approach profile. The aircraft then floated during the flare and once the nose wheel was on the ground he realised he only had about 50m to stop. After the accident he also noticed he had landed with a slight tail wind that was not noticeable by observing the windsock while he was in the air. The pilot advises that he will seek additional airstrip flying and tuition as a result of this accident.	Raglan	RA	Aeropl	Small Aeroplanes	0	0	0	LANDING	PRIVATE OTHER	Private Operations - Aeroplanes

79	18/8850	ACC	CR	17-Dec-18	Accident	During approach to land at NZRA, the aircraft was observed by witnesses to turn and then enter a spin to the left at low altitude. There was insufficient height available for the pilot ot recover from the spin, resulting in the aircraft striking the mud flats in the harbour. Both persons on board received fatal injuries. During approach to land at NZRG, the aircraft was observed by witnesses to turn and then descend at a high rate from a low altitude. The aircraft struck the mud flats in the harbour resulting in fatal injuries to both persons on board. From the safety report summary: On the day of the accident, the pilot intended to fly with a passenger from Motueka aerodrome to North Shore aerodrome north of Auckland. Following departure from Motueka aerodrome, a brief refuelling stop was completed at Whanganui aerodrome. Aircraft was next witnessed to be approaching Raglan aerodrome. The aircraft was seen to begin a turn to the left and then roll rapidly before descending at a high rate. The aircraft did not recover from the descent and struck the mud flats in the estuary immediately south of the township. The CAA safety investigation determined that the aircraft had departed controlled flight during a turn while approaching to land. The aircraft entered a spin to the left, with insufficient height available for the pilot to effect a recovery prior to the aircraft striking the mud flats. Although first responders were quickly on scene, the accident forces were not survivable. The pilot of the aircraft did not hold the required licence to permit him to fly the aircraft while carrying a passenger. He also did not hold the required aircraft type rating for the Van's RV-4 Safety investigation report 18/8850 released publically on 04 Aug 2020.
