Wellington Scenic

I had the pleasure of accompanying a pilot today as a safety pilot [CAR Part 91.125] while the PIC [Pilot in Command] was practising his instrument flying [simulated of course!]. In order to keep things safe we flew to somewhere that was open and unobstructed [over the water to the north west of Wellington] and the PIC practised some turns [DI and compass], climbs and descents before heading back.

In between spending a lot of time with my eyes outside and providing some headings for the pilot to fly, I managed to get some reasonable photos of the places we flew.
