The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA) (Māori: Te Mana Rererangi Tūmatanui o Aotearoa) is the government agency tasked with establishing civil aviation safety and security standards in New Zealand. The CAA also monitors adherence to those standards and is responsible for enforcement proceedings. The authority carries out aviation accident and incident investigations in conjunction with the Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC). CAA is also responsible for managing civilian pilot, aerodrome and aircraft licensing in New Zealand. The CAA has its headquarters in the Asteron Centre in Featherston Street, Wellington.[3]

Incidents

After the release of a damning coroner's report into Air Adventure's Piper Navajo crash near Christchurch International Airport on June 6, 2003, killing the pilot Michael Bannerman and seven Crop and Food Research staff, the Civil Aviation Authority underwent an urgent review by the office of the former Minister of Transport, Annette King, and resulted in the resignation of director John Jones.[4]
