If you want to launch a high-altitude vehicle from New Zealand, you must have a high-altitude licence for the launch. This also applies if you launch a vehicle from a plane that took off from New Zealand. You do not need a high-altitude licence if you have a launch licence issued under subpart 1 for the same activity.
