<p>Created page with "<br /> [[File:LTDB_ADC.png|thumb|right|400px|Çukurova International Airport Aerodrome Chart (AIP AD 2 LTDB ADC)]]<br /> '''Çukurova International Airport''' ('''ICAO: LTDB''') serves the Adana–Mersin region in southern Türkiye. It is located '''40 km south-west of Adana''' and '''56 km north-east of Mersin'''. The airport is open '''H24''' for IFR and VFR traffic and has a border gate (customs and immigration H24).<br /> <br /> <br /> The airport has two parallel runways, '''03R/21L''' (3,500 m × 60 m) and '''03L/21R''' (3,500 m × 45 m). '''Only 03R/21L is used as a runway by civil aircraft'''; 03L/21R is used as a taxiway and is used as a runway for landing and take-off only in emergencies or when 03R/21L is closed for maintenance. Elevation is '''25 ft''' and the transition altitude is '''10,000 ft'''.<br /> <br /> There is one passenger terminal on '''Apron 1''' and a smaller '''Apron 2''' to the north (next to the General Aviation area on the ADC); the cargo terminal is at the south-west end of Apron 1. Approach service is provided by '''Çukurova Tower''' inside the Çukurova CTR and by '''İncirlik Approach''' outside it. The airport is close to bird migration routes: flocks of birds are sometimes seen '''east of RWY 03R/21L at about 1,300–1,500 ft'''.<br /> <br /> == Scenery ==<br /> === Payware ===<br /> There are payware options for Microsoft Flight Simulator.<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> !Simulator<br /> !Developer<br /> !Publisher<br /> !Links<br /> |-<br /> |Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024<br /> | –<br /> |SimMarket<br /> |[https://secure.simmarket.com/ltdb-cukurova-airport-msfs24.phtml SimMarket]<br /> |-<br /> |Microsoft Flight Simulator<br /> | –<br /> |FlightSim.to Store<br /> |[https://flightsim.to/store/product/ltdb-cukurova-international-airport FlightSim.to Store]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> === Freeware ===<br /> There are freeware options as well, but quality may vary significantly.<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> !Simulator<br /> !Developer<br /> !Publisher<br /> !Links<br /> |-<br /> |Microsoft Flight Simulator<br /> |Community<br /> |FlightSim.to<br /> |[https://flightsim.to/file/79965/ltdb-ukurova-airport FlightSim.to]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Runway in Use ==<br /> The AIP does '''not''' publish a Preferential Runway System (PRS) for LTDB. In normal operations '''RWY 03R/21L is the only runway in use''' (AD 2.12, AD 2.20 item 17), and the direction ('''03R''' or '''21L''') is selected by ATC according to the surface wind and traffic, and broadcast on the ATIS. RWY 03L/21R is used as a parallel taxiway while 03R/21L is in use, and becomes a runway only in emergencies or when 03R/21L is closed for maintenance.<br /> <br /> <blockquote>'''Expect RWY 03R or RWY 21L.''' Check the ATIS (Çukurova Information 123.225) for the runway in use.</blockquote><br /> <br /> <br /> == Arrival Procedures ==<br /> Çukurova is located inside the '''Adana MTMA'''. The '''RNAV (GNSS) STARs''' (STAR-3 for RWY 03L/R, STAR-4 for RWY 21L/R) require '''RNP 1'''; if you cannot comply, advise ATC. Conventional STARs based on the '''CKR VOR/DME''' (STAR-1 and STAR-2, VOR or NDB and DME required) also exist.<br /> <br /> * '''ATC will clear you to execute the relevant approach procedure before IFOZI''' (RWY 03) or '''before YELZU''' (RWY 21) — these are the intermediate fixes (IF) of the RNAV approaches.<br /> * Descent on all RNAV STARs is '''"as cleared"'''; plan your descent to meet the charted level and speed restrictions.<br /> * An aircraft vacating RWY 03R/21L via a '''rapid exit taxiway''' has priority over aircraft taxiing on RWY 03L/21R and the other taxiways at the intersections. Give way to aircraft vacating via a rapid exit unless instructed otherwise.<br /> * '''After landing on RWY 03R/21L, proceed onto RWY 03L/21R (used as taxiway) without holding at the runway holding points''', unless instructed otherwise by the Tower.<br /> * '''Never cross a runway''' without a clear ATC clearance or instruction.<br /> * '''Circling approaches are not authorised south of the aerodrome.'''<br /> <br /> === Low Visibility ===<br /> Both '''RWY 03R''' and '''RWY 21L''' have an '''ILS CAT II''' with CAT II precision approach lighting (900 m). The CAT II approaches are '''ILS X CAT II RWY 03R''' (IAC-9) and '''ILS X CAT II RWY 21L''' (IAC-10). In low visibility conditions a '''Follow-me''' service is provided by the operator on Apron 1.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Runways and ILS ===<br /> {| class="wikitable"<br /> !Runway<br /> !ILS (LLZ)<br /> !Frequency / DME<br /> !Category<br /> !GP / RDH<br /> !THR elevation<br /> !Notes<br /> |-<br /> |'''03R'''<br /> |ICKR<br /> |108.35 MHz / CH20Y<br /> |CAT II<br /> |3.0° / 53 ft<br /> |16 ft<br /> |Main runway.

TWYs '''A''' (north end) and '''G''' (south end) and the link taxiways '''B, C, D, E''' and '''F''' connect 03R/21L with 03L/21R; '''B, C, E''' and '''F''' are rapid exit taxiways (with RETIL). TWYs '''B1''', '''C1''' and '''D1''' connect 03L/21R with the aprons (B1 to Apron 2, C1 and D1 to Apron 1). Stop bars and runway guard lights are installed on TWYs A, B, C, D, E, F and G for RWY 03R/21L.<br /> * '''TWY B1''' is limited to '''Code C''' aircraft.<br /> * On Apron 1 the three taxilanes are colour-coded: '''K (Orange)''', '''Z (Yellow)''' and '''V (Blue)'''.

It includes the runway in use, the expected approach, weather and transition level. Always copy the ATIS before calling for clearance.<br /> <br /> === Obtaining Clearance ===<br /> There is '''no separate Delivery position''' in the AIP. Pilots of departing aircraft must contact '''Çukurova Tower on 120.8 MHz''' for ATC clearance '''10 minutes before start-up''' (AD 2.20 item 6). In your initial call, include your callsign, stand, destination and the ATIS letter you have received.<br /> <br /> The APU may be started at most '''10 minutes before engine start'''.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Pushback and Engine Start ===<br /> * Push-back will '''not''' be given to traffic whose '''transponder is not on and active'''.<br /> * ATC considers you '''ready for push-back''' when all doors are closed, the aircraft is fully disconnected from the stand (bridge or stairs) and the push-back tug is connected and you are ready for engine start.<br /> * After receiving push-back and start-up approval, '''start push-back within 60 seconds''', otherwise ATC may cancel it and give you a new estimated start-up time.<br /> * If there is no radio contact between the flight crew and the push-back operator, tell Çukurova ATC.<br /> * Unless ATC instructs otherwise, push-back direction on Apron 1 is:<br /> ** '''101, 103–108''': onto the V (Blue) centreline. '''102 and 109''': wide-bodies onto Z (Yellow), narrow-bodies onto V (Blue). When 109 pushes towards RWY 03, traffic entering Apron 1 from TWY C1 holds at '''C1-HP4'''.<br /> ** '''201–218''': onto the K (Orange) centreline; 201/202 must not pass '''K-HP8''', 217/218 must not pass '''K-HP5'''. When 218 pushes towards RWY 03, traffic from C1 holds at C1-HP4 and traffic on V from the 03 to the 21 direction holds at '''V-HP6'''.<br /> ** '''301''': long push-back along Z (Yellow) to '''Z-HP9'''; if needed, only Code C or smaller may push normally to heading 21. '''303, 304''': along Z to '''Z-HP12''' (facing 21) or to Z-HP9 (facing 03).<br /> ** '''305L/R–308L/R''': onto V (Blue). '''305–308''': onto Z (Yellow).<br /> ** '''401–405''': onto K (Orange); 401 is a long push-back to '''K-HP8''', 402–405 must not pass '''K-HP11'''.<br /> * Ground handling is responsible for push-back direction, wing clearances and taxiway safety distances on the K, Z and V taxilanes. Flight crews are responsible for wing-tip separation.<br /> <br /> === Taxi Procedures ===<br /> Departures taxi from Apron 1 via C1 or D1 (Apron 2 via B1) onto '''RWY 03L/21R (used as taxiway)''' and then to the RWY 03R or 21L holding point. ATC may instruct aircraft to cross each other's path on Apron 1: the aircraft being passed must be stationary, and the moving aircraft is responsible for avoiding it. If in doubt, stop, report to ATC and wait for instructions. Strictly follow ATC instructions and all apron/taxiway signs and markings, and comply with readback/hearback procedures.
