Coronet Peak in Queenstown is one of the most accessible flying sites in New Zealand, its also a popular commercial flying site, with several companies offering tandem flights. For me it was my proving ground, i learnt to fly here with Lisa form Extreme Air. The hub of the site is the Flight Park (landing Area) here you'll find other pilots to chat and car share with. The weather is generally pretty stable and you'll find people flying here all year round.
