Air New Zealand DHC-8-Q300 | Flight Wellington to Blenheim

[@davidfuell6576]

Great video thanks Robert. It's a flight I take often. Woodbourne air traffic control was probably busy dealing with other aircraft either arriving or departing. So, they would have ordered your flight to wait in a holding pattern until the runway was clear. The tracking graphic at 3 min 30 sec shows the aircraft circling at a reference point ATC call "LUTKA" which is 15 - 20 nautical miles out from the airport. Search "Woodbourne approach plates VOR/DME runway 240".

Thanks so much for the explanation and local knowledge. Cheers

Being in New Zealand is like living in a postcard and your videos always remind me why I must return. Surely the most beautiful country I've ever visited. Thanks Robert, stay safe and well.
