Mike, while
the New Zealand Civil Aviation Rule 91.209 “Use of Oxygen Equipment”
doesn’t require the carriage or use of supplemental oxygen up to 13,000’
AMSL unless above 10,000’ for more than 30 minutes, the Gliding New
Zealand Advisory circular (http://www.gliding.co.nz/Operations/MOAP/Ops/ACs/Carriage%20and%20Use%20of%20Oxygen.doc)
states that operation of a glider above 10,000’ is only permitted if supplemental
oxygen is available.
