Front	Radar Services State the distance from touchdown that radar speed control can be maintained on an instrument and a visual approach. AIP ENR
Back	Speed restriction will not be applied by radar control: - After an aircraft on an instrument approach has passed a point 5 nm from touchdown - After an aircraft on a visual approach has passed a point 4 nm from touchdown

Front	Separation Describe the normal separation standards applied by ATC. AIP ENR
Back	Vertical Separation AIPNZ ENR 1.1 paragraph 9.4 states that the vertical separation between controlled flights is 1,000 ft below FL290 and 2,000 ft at or above FL290 (but this may be reduced to 1,000 ft in RVSM, Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum, airspace if both aircraft are RVSM approved). However, in controlled airspace the vertical separation may be 500 ft provided: - Both aircraft are light or medium; - The lower aircraft is VFR or Special VFR; and, - The lower VFR or SVFR aircraft is flying at or below 4,500 ft. Vertical Separation from Special Use Airspace AlPNZ ENR 1.1 paragraph 9.4 states that controlled flights will be kept above or below special-use airspace by margins detailed in the table below. Where no minimum is specified, the aircraft will be kept laterally clear of the airspace. Vertical Separation during Climb or Descent To facilitate separation between flights it is important that when climbing or descending tin controlled airspace, unless otherwise instructed, pilots should: - Commence the climb or descent promptly when cleared; and, - Operate at the optimum rate of climb or descent up to or down to, the last 1,000 ft from the assigned level and then reduce the rate until the level is reached. Separation can be obtained by the use of radar or by geographical position. When a rate of climb has been specified from departure, the pilot must ensure that the rate of climb can be sustained and that it will ensure appropriate terrain clearance. If a rate of climb or descent has been stipulated, the pilot must advise ATC immediately if unable to comply. Horizontal Separation AIPNZ ENR 1.1 paragraph 9.5.1 states that horizontal separation may consist of either: - Longitudinal separation, i.e. the distance or time between aircraft fore and aft; - Lateral separation, i.e. the distance between aircraft side to side; - Radar separation; or, - Geographical separation.

Front	Air Operations Requirements and Restrictions State the CAR Part 121/125 requirement for a maintenance review.
Back	(a) A holder of an air operator certificate must ensure that - (1) an aeroplane is not operated under the authority of the certificate unless a maintenance review for the aeroplane has been carried out within the previous 12 months; and (2) each maintenance review that is carried out is certified in accordance with paragraph (d). (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), the holder of an air operator certificate must ensure that a maintenance review for an aeroplane is not certified as having been carried out unless, since the last maintenance review - (1) due maintenance specified in the applicable maintenance programme for the aeroplane has been completed within the time period specified; and (2) every applicable airworthiness directive has been complied with in accordance with the requirements prescribed in Part 39; and (3) every defect entered in the technical log has been rectified or properly deferred in accordance with the procedures in the certificate holder's exposition; and (4) every applicable certification for release-to-service has been made in accordance with subpart C of Part 43. (c) The certificate holder may certify a maintenance review for an aeroplane on the basis of continuing compliance with a programme acceptable to the Director if - (1) the programme samples every requirement of paragraph (b) during the review period; and (2) the maintenance review is individually certified for each of the certificate holder's aeroplanes. (d) The certificate holder must ensure that the person who carries out the maintenance review for an aeroplane - (1) is authorised by the certificate holder and has experience that is at least equivalent to the experience required for the grant of an appropriate aircraft maintenance engineer licence rating, for the type of aeroplane; and (2) carries out the review in accordance with the applicable paragraph (b) or (c); and (3) certifies that the maintenance review has been carried out by entering the following statement in the appropriate maintenance logbook with the person's signature, authorisation number, and the date of entry: The maintenance review for this aeroplane and such of its equipment as is necessary for its continued airworthiness has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of Civil Aviation Rule 125.415.
