Not too bad a list and the aircraft is usually quite active with aircraft. Here's photos I have of the locals:



A fairly new resident, but is up for sale so may not stick around for much longer if not already gone! Previously lived at Motueka.

Have not seen this one at the airfield in quite some time, I suspect a long term rebuild in the works due to its accident a couple of years ago.


One that doesn't come out often, hence the desperation shot!






A new resident to the field, only arriving Q3 last year from Tauranga.

The only time i've seen this aircraft outside since being moved into the big hangar, hoping to see her outside some time again!






Not seen often at Kapiti these days due to always out doing Calibration flights.


This aircraft has just returned back to Kapiti after its year lease to Air Ruatoria.


A fairly new resident to Kapiti, same registration as the old Cabri just Orange now. Came fresh from the factory!














A new resident to Kapiti having previously been used by the Whanganui flight academy.


As far as I'm aware this aircraft has not flown since its arrival back in 2017. Has done the odd taxi test, like on the day of this photo.

Almost a year since its arrival, this photo taken on the conclusion of delivery from Ardmore.



Noted regulars to Kapiti are also as follows:

ZK-EAV Cessna 208
ZK-LRD Cessna 150M
ZK-MLO Cessna 208B
ZK-MLP Cessna TU206F
ZK-RVK Vans RV-6
ZK-TLV Cessna A185F
ZK-ZTH Piper PA-22-150 (Although this has been ditched in the sea, so may be written off now)

Plus of course the Air Chathams and Sounds Air Flights. We also regularly get Massey and Whanganui schools down for Touch and go's, then there's Air Hawkes Bay and Nelson Aviation College that do their cross countries to Kapiti.

Whilst i'm getting back into the swing of this blog I will look into doing other airfields like this as I can. I'm looking at Otaki next.
