Hire to Independent Pilots: West Auckland Airport's aircraft are available for independent hire to pilots approved by West Auckland Airport Company Ltd (WAACL). By booking an aircraft you indicate that your Pilots License, Biennial Flight Review & Medical are current and that you are flying within the conditions of your license. Book with Aircraft Booking Systems.
Hire to Instructors for Student Pilots: Every solo flight by a student pilot requires instructor authorisation, and supervision to the extent that the instructor considers necessary. Before an instructor sends a student on their FIRST solo, they are to do a few circuits with a different instructor who agrees that they are ready. Book with Aircraft Booking Systems.
