(2) Ensure that written parental consent has been obtained for members
less than eighteen years of age taking part in the activity.
(3) Ensure that prior to entry onto an aircraft movement area, the Scout
has received instruction as required by Clause (h) of these MSR’s.
(4) Ensure that the activity is to be conducted by a Club affiliated to the
Recreational Aircraft Association of New Zealand (RAANZ) as required
by Clause (b). In the event that the activity is to be conducted by an

individual is a member of a Club that is covered by Clause (b) of
these MSR’s.

qualified microlight pilot or the holder of an Air Activities Charge
Certificate.
(k) It is recognised that some or all of the requirements listed in Clause (j)(1)
- (7) of the above could be difficult for the Group Leader to check in some
instances. Therefore, in the event that the Group Leader does not have
access to an Area Air Activities Adviser for consultation concerning the
requirements, it is essential that the assistance of an appropriate authority
at the National Office of SCOUTS New Zealand be requested.
Note:
(a) Flying in powered aircraft, glider aircraft and balloons are covered in
separate MSR’s for powered aircraft, glider aircraft and balloons
respectively.
(b) To demonstrate compliance with these MSR’s it is recommended that prior
