Palmerston North Control Zone (CTR)

SIDs and STARs

Due to the surrounding MOAs, NZPM has numerous SIDs and STARs to either reroute traffic around, or climb aircraft above, the active MOAs. These limitations only apply to aircraft arriving from and departing to the North.

Runway 07

The preferred departure for IFR aircraft tracking via OMBUB is the TEROT #Q, due to the relatively direct nature. For other departure directions, issue the suggested SID.

The below table outlines the prohibited procedures when the respective MOA is active.

Active MOA(s)	MOA Vertical Limits	Prohibited SIDs	Prohibited STARs	Reasoning
M311 - Bulls	A015 - A025	None	BUVLI #B	STAR descends through active MOA
M307 - Marton	A080 - FL200	RUXOS #S DADLI #S TEROT #Q	None	SIDs climbs through active MOA

Runway 25

The preferred departure for IFR aircraft tracking via OMBUB is the GUTNI #R, due to the relatively direct nature. For other departure directions, issue the suggested SID.

The below table outlines the prohibited procedures when the respective MOA is active.

Active MOA(s)	MOA Vertical Limits	Prohibited SIDs	Prohibited STARs	Reasoning
M311 - Bulls	A015 - A025	GUTNI #R	None	SID climbs through active MOA
M307 - Marton	A080 - FL200	GUTNI #R	None	SID climbs through active MOA
