On Friday 3 January 1997, at 1357 hours, Cessna 310Q aeroplane ZK-KIM, on a private flight to Ardmore, was turning after take-off from Queenstown when it entered a spin or spiral dive which led to a collision with the ground. The pilot and all five passengers were killed. The position of the Remarkables Range, in relation to runway 14, restricted the space available and precluded a normal visual horizon reference for the pilot during the turn.

On Thursday 2 January 1997, at approximately 1520 hours, the pilot was flying three hunters and a dog in ZK-HQA from Poronui to a hut in the Kaimanawa Ranges. Some five minutes after departure, while the helicopter was in a cruise-climb at about 3400 feet, the engine suddenly lost power. During the subsequent auto rotational landing two of the hunters were injured and the helicopter was substantially damaged. No conclusive reason was found to account for the unexpected loss of power.

On Sunday, 29 December 1996, at approximately 2233 hours, a collision occurred at the entrance to Wellington Harbour between the container vessel "Sydney Express", which was outbound, and the fishing trawler "Maria Luisa", which was inbound. The "Maria Luisa" capsized in the collision and five of the six crew members lost their lives.

At 1105 hours on Tuesday 17 December 1996, Air New Zealand flight NZ 31 from Auckland to Brisbane, requested a clearance to climb from flight level 350 to non-standard flight level 370, because of turbulence at flight level 350. The level change was authorised by air traffic control, and as the aircraft left flight level 350, the crew noticed the "contrails" of another aircraft above and levelled off. A traffic alert and collision avoidance system traffic advisory message was received at the same time, indicating that the vertical separation of the aircraft on passing was 1800 feet.

On Sunday 15 December 1996, at about 0955, the fast passenger launch "Mack Attack" collided with a dinghy under way in the western approaches to Paihia Wharf. One of the dinghy's four occupants was drowned. Causal factors included failure by the skipper of "Mack Attack" to keep an adequate lookout and the vessel's excessive speed in the proximity of other craft and structures. Recommendations include the need for more speed regulation notices, lifejacket awareness notices, and for operational standing orders.
