Just an update from Dunedin Airport. Flights all delayed by fog, obviously instrument flying is an arcane skill.
Anyway, snapped a photo of the security notice.

no acids! damn i will have to leave my pickled chilis at home.
Compressed Gas? @Rushy and I will no longer be flying?:wtfsmilie:
No ammo in your checked baggage, goes in your carry on. Same with lithium batteries for power tools, fine in the cabin.
Really ???????? :wtfsmilie:Quote:

On that particular day, that’s what they wanted.Quote:

The batteries in the cabin is so they can attempt to extinguish them if they catch fire.Quote:

Ammo and firearms must be in separate cases. Ammo in "original packaging" - ammo boxes always been fine for me. Firearm disabled - bolt removed, trigger lock etc.
Flew to CHC last weekend, no hassles. The sign for "no ammo" applies to people traveling without a checked firearm...
If you intend to fly with a firearm, call the airline ahead of time and get them to put a note on your booking. Arrive early, and go to the oversize baggage checkin or to premium checkin counter.
At the destination, it helps if there are 2 people, we split up, one goes to baggage services and the other checks the conveyor. I've lost count of how many times cases containing firearms have come out on the general belt, especially at Welly airport...
There are still minimum VFR requirements for instrument flight.Quote:

Just checked in person with Air NZ who went through the rules carefully and they then also spoke to Dunners airport. The rules have not changed regarding check in baggage and the best response they had to that banner is it should imply that you cannot have undeclared ammunition in your bag
Nor me Gibo.Quote:

I’m not sure which applies to Dunedin.
Dunedin’s ILS approach gets you down to 250ft, 1200m visibility required at that point, 800m visibility required for takeoff
I brought a few box’s of 223/270 ammo back from Houston via Auckland to ChCh recently with no problems, just declare it at check in. Trust me if you try to carry it on there will be drama!
