Online Reviews Summary

Mercer1 PDZ Airport (NZME) appears to be a misnomer, with the ICAO code NZME corresponding to Mercer Airfield in New Zealand. This is a small, uncontrolled private aerodrome primarily used for recreational flying, flight training, and skydiving, rather than a commercial airport with typical passenger services. Therefore, comprehensive traveler reviews regarding terminal facilities, security, customs, or extensive transportation connections are not available as they would be for a major commercial hub.

What Travelers Love (based on available operational information and activities):

Recreational Flying and Training: The airfield is actively used for general aviation, flight training, and recreational flying, suggesting it serves its purpose well for these communities.
Skydiving Operations: GoSkydive NZ operates from Mercer Airfield, indicating it's a popular spot for skydiving experiences.
Helicopter Operations: The airfield supports helicopter operations, including serving as a secondary training ground for Helicopter Flight Training Ltd.
Aviation Community Focus: The airfield hosts aviation events, such as the New Zealand Association of Women in Aviation Annual Rally and Conference and Flying NZ Northern Region Competitions.

Common Complaints

Limited Infrastructure for Commercial Travelers: As a private airfield, it lacks the terminal facilities, amenities, and commercial passenger services found at larger airports, which would be a significant drawback for anyone expecting a typical commercial airport experience.
Uncontrolled Aerodrome: Being an uncontrolled aerodrome requires pilots to adhere to specific procedures and be highly vigilant, which might be a concern for less experienced pilots.
Work-in-progress on Airfield: There have been mentions of "work-in-progress on the airfield," which could potentially impact operations or accessibility at times.

Mercer Airfield (NZME) serves as a functional and apparently valued hub for general aviation, flight training, and skydiving in New Zealand. However, travelers seeking a conventional airport experience with commercial flights, extensive facilities, or standard passenger services should be aware that this is a private airfield not designed for such purposes.
