Radar · intelligence

The rules, pipelines and decisions that shape AAM in Asia-Pacific, tracked weekly.

Global trackers rank the aircraft makers and give the results away. Nobody tracks the infrastructure, consents and rule changes in New Zealand, Australia and the wider region. Radar does, with every item linked to the page it came from.

Coverage

Five streams, one searchable database.

Rules and regulators

CAA NZ, Ministry of Transport and the Aviation Council; CASA and Airservices; CAAC, KOCA, JCAB, CAAS; the FAA, EASA and UK CAA frameworks they validate against. Consultations, rule projects, special-use airspace, certificates and exemptions.

Infrastructure pipeline

Vertiport, vertipad and charging proposals; airport master plans; grid connections; test sites such as Tāwhaki; who is funding what, where and when.

Consents and community

District-plan changes, resource consents and fast-track decisions touching aviation sites; iwi and community positions; noise and planning disputes.

OEM and operator moves

Certification milestones, orders and deposits, market-entry filings (such as CASA applications), partnerships, funding and attrition, with the SMG Reality Index and company filings as anchors.

Crosswalks

Side-by-side mappings of the FAA powered-lift SFAR, EASA Part-IAM, CASA's roadmap and CAA NZ Parts 101, 102 and 107, maintained as the rules move.

Alerts

Email or webhook alerts on the jurisdictions, topics and organisations you follow, within a day of publication.

How it is made

Agent-monitored, human-verified.

AI agents watch regulator, government, company and trade sources every day and draft entries with citations. Nothing is published until a person has opened the source and checked the claim, the figure and the date. Corrections are logged. The methods page explains the editorial standard.
