in my log book. The never ending story, all they want at the time is my money. But if you have
a USA license you have your conversion straight away?.This is was in 1972, times change.
Today the New Zealand PPL is accepted everywhere including Australia. For this reason now
for example the New Zealand - AlP - is on l.C.A.O format since 4 September 2003, as a PPL is
'considered' an International license. This is one matter that worries the CAA about the medical
which should be accepted in overseas. So what is really the real rating?.
	Although the 1.C.A.O does not give precise information as each country suppose to follow
the rule, here we give the example of American standard. Especially for the medical as they
have the same problem we have here. So, apparently they solve the problem with 4 different
licenses and 3 FAA class medical. In any case the I.C.A.O has never mentioned the 1% or 2%
rule. This is a New Zealand discovery which does not apply any more in overseas.

Note:	3 Hours instruments pIus 5 hours night flight does not mean you have an Instrument
rating. I was astonished at Waihi Beach when a pilot of a Cessna with his wife and 2 kids
try to take off with an overcast weather, we cannot see the hills. Finally the airfield owner
convinced him not to take off. This fellow needs a serious individual responsibility training.
