PZB Pietermaritzburg Airport Info & Guide

Where is Pietermaritzburg Airport? PZB Pietermaritzburg Airport is an airport, also known as ORIBI Airport, in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (IATA: PZB, ICAO: FAPM). It is undergoing a transformation to make it a more viable destination airport for people visiting inland KwaZulu Natal.

The airport has pilot controlled night landing facilities. The lights are normally off and are switched on for a period of 15 minutes when Aircrew transmit 5 or 7 clicks in rapid succession on the communication frequency, depending on the intensity required (30% or 100%). Cloud break procedures are authorized onto runways 16 and 34. The procedures are fairly complicated due to the hilly terrain surrounding the airport.
