On Friday 8 September 1995, at approximately 1640 hours, as a Cessna 208 Caravan aircraft ZK-SFA was approaching to land at Picton Aerodrome the pilot saw the nose light of one of a loose formation of four RNZAF Macchi MC 39 aircraft approaching from the opposite direction at a similar height to that of his aircraft. He took evasive action and the nearest Macchi passed approximately 300 metres from the Caravan.
The causal factors included a lack of clear instruction in the NZAIP on VFR position reporting procedures in the vicinity of unattended aerodromes close to Control Zone boundaries and the standard of pre-flight planning including that for diversions from track due to weather.
