Welcome to AirShare Part 101 training!

We have developed an easy-to-understand, free online resource to help you learn the rules and understand how to safely fly your drone in New Zealand.

The Drone 101 AirBook is an interactive learning resource that can be accessed via your mobile device (IOS/Android) or your home or work computer.

It covers helpful tips, Civil Aviation Rules and airspace, flight preparation and planning, operations and also includes six useful checklists to guide you through your drone flights from start to finish.
