Lovely... what astonishing detail on that wheel+tyre.
As to the engine shot: you could just throw the aircraft away and stare at what's left :)

ninth screenshot appears to be a short hop, leg flight from Motueka Aerodrome NZMK - Nelson NZNS overflying the Talley's Fisheries, deep sea ocean fishing processing plant and wharves based at Port Motueka, Tasman Bay, Nelson while showing the Moutere Inlet between NZ State Highway 60 known as The Coastal Highway road running towards Motueka township on the bottom right corner and yes Jackett Island is a nice hidden, secret island vacation spot on the left with a couple of Island Getaway Holiday Houses.

Lindstrim is a pilot flying with ANZ link and I would guess he fly s in and out of NZAA many times a day.

This is AMAZING!!! I am utterly amazed Radar88 guessed accurately and correctly while managing to accurately identify everything in the ninth screenshot!!

Thanks for answer

Ha ha ha that might explain!!! Darn I have been flying too much to NZCH and NZWN instead of NZAA on flight sim probably because I have terrific Godzone NZCH and NZWN sceneries by ToProb while there is none for NZAA for FSX use.

One day, I am going to try runway 23l approach on FSX to see if I can match scenery to the MS2020 one in screeenshot number 8 that Dash8captain did.

Air NZ Regional pilots can sometimes have up to 6 sectors a day and if your AKL based that might mean 5-6 landings in AKL so very possible

Yikes that is EXHAUSTING work day with 5 to 6 flights per day!! I thought FAA and any other country aviation agency set limits for flights per day for an airline pilot to prevent fatigue??? By the way, what is the name of aviation agency that is New Zealand version of FAA?

Well I guess it depends on the length of the sectors, nz being small a lot of sectors are short flights like 25-30min e.g. AKL-WRE AKL-TGA so be easy to fit in a lot of sectors

NZ is CAA https://www.aviation.govt.nz/
