Single achievement

Aotearoa 03 NZMF to NZQN

This is a virtual airline achievement created by Fliggity Air.

This airport is located at the head of the fjord at the head of the Cleddau and Arthur rivers. It’s a very small but very busy airport catering mainly to tourist and flightseeing operators. Weather permitting, there is substantial charter traffic composed mainly of Cessna 172, 206, 207, and Cessna Caravan 208s.

Directions: Depart eastbound from NZMF following the same route you came in on and remember that you’ll need to be just above 5000ft to clear waypoint HOMER before descending into the valley (TIP: If you’re flying an aircraft that might have trouble reaching 5000 ft before HOMER, take off and perform an orbital climb over Milford Sound until at a more tenable altitude). Follow NZ State Highway 94 except for this time, when the road veers south, continue to the next valley and turn south towards Lake McKellar. Follow the Greenstone river as it spills out of the south end of Lake McKellar and snakes its way through the valley which travels south and comes back around to the northeast and then to the east where you want to come out over Lake Wakatipu at waypoint ENBAY. Once over the lake, make a southerly turn heading to waypoint MSTA1 where the Von River empties into the lake. Follow the lake as it curves to the east where you'll find NZQN.

Criteria

Depart from NZMF, fly to and land at NZQN (41 NM). Your aircraft must not exceed an altitude of 5,500 ft (ASL).
