On Friday 16 August 1996 at 1250 hours, shortly after Fairchild SA 227-AC, ZK-OAA touched down at Gisborne Aerodrome, it swerved to the right. The pilot was able to regain control but when he engaged reverse thrust, the aircraft swung to the right a second time and the pilot was unable to prevent the aircraft veering off the runway onto the adjacent grass area. The aircraft sustained minor damage and there were no injuries to the two pilots or the 14 passengers. The causal factors were not identified.

On Monday, 29 July 1996, at approximately 2230 hours, the fishing vessel "Avenger" was reported overdue on a trip from Preservation Inlet to Riverton. A search conducted at first light the following day located the bodies of the two crew members amongst flotsam from the vessel. The vessel was not recovered and the cause of its sinking was not identified conclusively. A safety issue identified was the seaworthiness of the "Avenger", which was not required to be surveyed.

On Saturday 6 July 1996, Hughes 269C ZK-HVV was engaged in a series of NZ Army reconnaissance flights in an area between Waiouru and Taihape. When the helicopter failed to return from its last flight, a search was initiated and the wreckage of ZK-HVV was found some 900 m from the operating site. The pilot and one of the two passengers were killed and the second passenger seriously injured. The helicopter had collided with the ground while being operated at low level. Local loss of depth perception due to snow cover was a probable contributing factor. No new safety issues were raised.

On Tuesday, 25 June 1996, at approximately 1420 hours, a rock-fishing charter group of six passengers and one guide was returning to the beach from where they had launched in the "Hunky Dory", a 5.5m aluminium dory, when the craft was overwhelmed by seas and foundered. Five of the passengers swam for the shore. Four succeeded and raised the alarm. The fifth swimmer, after spending nine hours in the water, succumbed to exhaustion and drowned. The design, loading and corresponding freeboard of the craft combined with the sea conditions were factors contributing to the foundering.

On Thursday, 13 June 1996 at about 1035 hours Train 401, the southbound Geyserland Express passenger service, struck and killed a signal maintainer working alongside the track. The causes were the signal maintainer's lack of awareness of the train's approach and the absence of any warning to the locomotive engineer of the presence of this staff member. A safety issue identified was the need for the wearing of high-visibility clothing by all staff in such situations to be mandatory.
