Check CAA NZ-controlled airspace in one click.

Authority Notes — CAA NZ (Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand)

Every free tool below is calibrated against the CAA NZ (Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand) regime in New Zealand. We update calibration the same day CAA NZ publishes a bulletin.

Primary regulation — Civil Aviation Rules Part 101 & Part 102 — registration threshold N/A (no mandatory registration system); insurance posture: Not legally required; record retention: Per Exposition (operator-defined); maximum penalty: Varies by offence; BVLOS path: JARUS SORA (via Part 102 certification).

Authority site — https://www.aviation.govt.nz/drones/ — official source. Every tool result we surface includes a deep link to the relevant CAA NZ page.

Update cadence — Daily at 06:00 local time we crawl CAA NZ bulletins and the Civil Aviation Rules Part 101 & Part 102 amendment list. Members receive in-app diffs before the public web is updated.

Audit posture — Every tool log can be exported to PDF/CSV/JSON for Per Exposition (operator-defined) retention. Exports include the Civil Aviation Rules Part 101 & Part 102 version active at the time of capture.

When to Use SKY MAP

Check controlled airspace before every flight. Always free. Upgrade to MmowW Drone for persistent records and full compliance management.

Before takeoff

Open SKY MAP, enter your location, and confirm you are clear to fly. 30 seconds, zero assumptions.

During audits

Upgrade to the full MmowW Drone dashboard for exportable PDF records with regulatory version tracking.

How to Get the Most Out of SKY MAP

Two habits separate compliant operators from those who only think they are.

Run SKY MAP every flight

Consistency is what survives an CAA NZ audit. Bookmark this page; treat it as your pre-flight ritual.

Save the receipt

Every tool produces a printable receipt. File it. CAA NZ does not care that you 'did the check' — it cares that you can prove it under Per Exposition (operator-defined) retention.

Upgrade when complexity grows

Free tools handle one flight at a time. The full dashboard handles a fleet, multiple pilots, persistent audit-trail, and CAA NZ amendment alerts. NZ$29.99 / month.

Build Trust. Grow Together.
