Ohakea (NZOH)
Ohakea is the Royal New Zealand Air Force's largest airbase, and generates the majority of air traffic within the Manawatu area. Ohakea houses the Air Force's pilot training capability, proving for a busy circuit; in addition to the Air Force's rotary wing transport force.
Ohakea is also Auckland and Christchurch Airport's primary alternate, providing civilian traffic with a suitable alternative should the two largest airports in the country be unavailable.
Control at this aerodrome is provided by three positions - Ground, Tower, Approach and Control. Ground is an Events Only positions that provides a Delivery and Ground function when on watch. Outside of an Event, Tower would provide these functions in addition to their core Tower service. Ohakea Approach provides a TMA service to both Ohakea and Palmerston North airports, and IFR clearances to Feilding and Whanganui. Ohakea Control provides an Enroute-level service. Should Ohakea Control be offline, this service would be provided by NZCH-T_CTR.
