waikiore 405 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Why would helicopters be flying over the North Shore in and out of the Rosedale helipad between 2 and 3.30 am ? This has occurred the last few nights low altitude and very noisy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 405 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 They do seem to be coming from Barrier or further north direction , but 44forty I will go with your local knowledge, on the other hand Michael Hill isn't that far north Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 368 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The high end taxi copters have definitely stopped . On the other hand the top dressing started 3 days ago and it starts bloody early ! Which probably explains why the choppers are leaving early . if they are going way out the back and need to tank up at the job with agri-Chems before it gets light Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ex Machina 368 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Is there a radar/tracker that shows all aircraft ? Not just commercial and some rescue choppers ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 512 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Only those with ADS-B tracking - which will be compulsory for all aircraft next year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
