New airport page – AIP AIRAC 2610

New page

[[File:LTDA_ADC.png|thumb|right|400px|Hatay Airport Aerodrome Chart (AIP AD 2 LTDA ADC)]]
'''Hatay Airport''' ('''IATA: HTY''', '''ICAO: LTDA''') serves the province of Hatay in southern Türkiye. It is located 27 km north-east of Hatay, close to the Turkish/Syrian border, and is a border gate (customs and immigration H24). Both IFR and VFR traffic are permitted.


The airport has a single runway, '''04/22''' (2,720 m × 45 m, concrete), with one taxiway ('''B4''') linking it to a single apron. Elevation is 259 ft and the transition altitude is '''10,000 ft'''. '''There is no ILS''': the only navaids are the co-located '''HTY VOR/DME''' and '''HTY NDB''', and the published instrument approaches are NDB/VOR approaches (DME required).

The airport sits on the eastern Mediterranean bird migration route and is surrounded by high terrain (the MSA is 7,000–8,000 ft). Every SID, STAR and approach chart carries the caution '''"Turkish / Syrian border shall not be violated"'''. Due to the geographical characteristics of the airport and its proximity to the border, '''IFR and VFR training flights are not permitted'''.

== Preferential Runway System (PRS) ==
'''AD 2 LTDA does not publish a Preferential Runway System.''' The runway in use is selected by Hatay ATC. Check the ATIS ('''Hatay Information 121.250''') for the runway and approach in use.

Things to keep in mind when you plan:
* Both runway directions have an '''NDB Z / VOR Z''' approach (IAC-1 RWY 04, IAC-2 RWY 22). The straight-in OCA is '''710 ft''' for RWY 04 and '''650 ft''' for RWY 22.
* '''RWY 04''' has a precision approach lighting system (CAT I barette, 900 m) and PAPI 3.3° (left, MEHT 67 ft). '''RWY 22''' has a simple approach lighting system (barette, 420 m) and PAPI 3° (left, MEHT 67 ft).
* '''There is no turn pad on the RWY 22 threshold''' (ADC caution).
* TWY B4 is the only taxiway shown on the ADC, joining the runway near its midpoint.


== Arrival Procedures ==
Hatay Airport lies inside the '''Hatay CTR''' (SFC–FL130). Approach service is provided by '''Hatay TWR/APP''' within the CTR and by '''Ankara ACC''' outside the CTR. There are no RNAV procedures: the single STAR chart (STAR-1) is conventional, based on the HTY VOR and the Adana VOR (ADA).

* '''Non-scheduled traffic:''' all traffic planning to use the airport other than scheduled traffic must have '''permission from the airport management at least 6 hours before the flight''' (AD 2.20).
* '''IFR and VFR training traffic is not permitted''' (AD 2.20).
* The '''Turkish/Syrian border must not be violated'''. The STAR chart shows the closest distance to the border as '''9.7 DME on R-145''' (145° of the NDB), referenced to the HTY VOR/NDB.
* Bird flocks in the vicinity of the aerodrome (see [[#Bird Migration|Bird Migration]]).

=== Radio Failure ===
AD 2 LTDA does not publish an aerodrome-specific radio failure procedure (AD 2.22 Flight Procedures: NIL).


== Ground Operations ==
=== Ground Layout ===
The airport has one runway, '''04/22''', and one taxiway, '''TWY B4''' (28 m wide, concrete), which connects the apron with the runway near its midpoint. Runway guard lights are installed on TWY B4; there are '''no stop bars'''. RWY 04/22 has runway threshold identification lights (RTIL).

'''There is no turn pad on the RWY 22 threshold.''' The ADC also shows an engine test area and several areas '''under construction''' alongside the runway and next to the apron.

[[File:LTDA_ADC.png|center|frameless|700px|Hatay Aerodrome Chart]]

=== Apron and Stands ===
[[File:LTDA_PRKG.png|thumb|right|350px|Aircraft Parking/Docking Chart (AIP AD 2 LTDA PRKG)]]
There is a single apron (concrete) in front of the terminal with '''13 stands''': 1A, 1, 1B, 2A, 2, 2B, 3A, 3, 3B, 4A, 4, 4B and 5. Stand guide lines and stand numbers are painted on the apron and '''marshalling service is provided for each stand'''.

==== De-icing ====
De-icing facilities are available, H24 (AD 2.3/2.4). The AIP does not designate a de-icing area or procedure.


==== Bird Migration ====
Hatay Airport lies on the '''eastern Mediterranean intercontinental bird migration route''' (İstanbul–Hatay–Israel), used by around 500,000 soaring birds twice a year (85% storks, about 3.5 kg). The AIP (AD 2.23) states:
* Migration takes place in '''March, April, May, June, August, September and October'''; '''April and September''' are the densest months.
* Peak times are '''08:00–11:00 and 14:00–17:00 (LMT)''', when 6 or 7 flocks of 300–2,000 birds are observed over the aerodrome. Between 08:00 and 11:00 (LMT) birds fly below 656 ft.
* Birds fly low in the morning and high in the afternoon. The average flight height is 3,937 ft, but some species climb to 6,561 ft. '''Aircraft flying below 6,561 ft might be in danger of collision.'''
* Migration decreases in rain and almost stops in bad, windy weather.


=== Planning Taxi Time ===
All departures taxi from the apron via '''TWY B4''' to the runway.


=== ATIS ===
'''Hatay Information''' is broadcast on '''121.250 MHz'''. Always copy the ATIS before calling Ground.

=== Obtaining Clearance ===
There is no separate Delivery position in the AIP. Call '''Hatay Ground (121.700)''' for your ATC clearance. In your initial call, include your callsign, stand, destination and the ATIS letter you have received.


=== Pushback and Engine Start ===
Call Ground with your callsign and stand number when you are fully ready. Ground will either clear you or ask you to standby.


=== Taxi Procedures ===
Taxi via '''TWY B4''' to the runway holding position and follow ATC instructions to line up. Remember that there is no turn pad at the RWY 22 threshold.

'''Pilot:''' Taxi to holding point runway 22 via B4, THY2RK.

''(approaching the holding point)''

== Departure Procedures ==
=== RECAT - LTDA ===

=== Minimum Runway Occupancy Time for Departures ===
AD 2 LTDA does not publish runway occupancy or pilot reaction time rules.


=== SIDs ===
All SIDs are '''conventional'''. Two charts are published: '''SID-1''' based on the '''HTY VOR''' (designators '''1Z''' for RWY 04 and '''1Y''' for RWY 22) and '''SID-2''' based on the '''HTY NDB''' (designators '''1X''' for RWY 04 and '''1W''' for RWY 22). Every SID climbs back over HTY, crossing it at '''5,000 ft or above''', and ends by joining the airway towards '''ADA''' (west) or '''MILBA''' (north).

'''Max departure IAS 204 KT until inbound to HTY VOR/NDB.'''

MILBA is at HTY R-008 / D36.4. On the ADA SIDs, EKHAS (HTY R-298 / D37.5) lies 37.5 NM from HTY and 25.1 NM from ADA.

'''Border:''' the SID charts show the closest distance to the border for the RWY 04 SIDs as '''14.5 DME on R-053''' (053° of NDB), referenced to the HTY VOR/NDB. The Turkish/Syrian border must not be violated.

[[File:LTDA_SID_04_22_NDB.png|center|frameless|700px|Standard Departure Chart RWY 04/22, NDB (AIP AD 2 LTDA SID-2)]]

=== Noise Abatement Procedures ===
Aircraft certified to ICAO Annex 16 Vol. I '''Chapter 3''' must apply '''NADP-2'''; Chapter 2 aircraft apply NADP-1 only. All other aircraft apply NADP-1 or NADP-2. Noise abatement procedures apply until passing '''3,000 ft'''.

=== Airborne ===
Unless instructed otherwise, '''contact Hatay Approach on 118.725''' after take-off. Comply with all speed and altitude restrictions on the SID, and remember that the Turkish/Syrian border must not be violated.
<blockquote>
'''TWR:''' THY2RK, contact Hatay Approach 118.725, goodbye.

'''Pilot:''' Hatay Approach 118.725, THY2RK, goodbye.

'''Pilot:''' Hatay Approach, THY2RK, MILBA 1Y.

'''APP:''' THY2RK, Hatay Approach, identified, climb FL120.
</blockquote>


== After Departure ==
After leaving the Hatay CTR you will be handed over to '''Ankara Control''' (approach service outside the CTR is provided by Ankara ACC, AD 2.17).


The SID/STAR charts also show the '''Adana MTMA''' (south-west of the airport) and the danger areas '''LTD19''' (MSL–UNL) in the İskenderun Gulf and '''LTD13''' (MSL–35,000 ft AMSL) in the Mersin Gulf.

Thank you for flying with TRvACC — hope to see you again in Hatay!
