The airport has 2 parallel runways, right next to each other (03L/R - 21L/R). East of the runways, the main passenger terminal, MRO facilities and control tower is located. On the west side, there are 3 aprons which house general aviation facilities, government hangars, flight schools. It also houses Ankara ACC (Türkiye Hava Trafik Kontrol Merkezi) which covers the entire Türkiye, about 900nm from one end to other.

Ankara Esenboğa Airport is located within Ankara TMA (Terminal Manoeuvring Area). Ankara TMA covers Ankara Esenboğa Airport (LTAC), Güvercinlik Airport (LTAB, military), Etimesgut Airport (LTAD, military and Ankara Murted Airbase (LTAE, military). Due to high military activity and restricted areas within the TMA, there might be lot of vectoring or holds upon arrival.

Ankara Esenboğa Airport utilizes RNAV in all of its STAR procedures. In addition, P-RNAV (''Precision-Area Navigation, RNP1'') capability is required. If unable, pilot '''must''' inform the controller so that aircraft can be given radar vectors to final.

==== North Configuration (RWY 03L/R) ====
The STAR structure for north configuration is focused on tight turns with long having the aircraft navigate around restricted areas. Both 1R and 1Z STAR's last waypoint is the IAF for ILS-V 03R. For instance, 1Z STARs last waypoint is ''TIARE'', which is the start of one of the transitions for the approach procedure. For 1R arrivals, ''VEZIN'' is the last waypoint which joins the transition of the approach from the east.<gallery widths="300" heights="200" mode="packed">

Apron 7 is solely used by Turkish Government and its presidential planes. VATSIM is no place for politics, we do not restrict pilots from fly using government callsigns or simulate presidential flights however we do not allow politics.

Contact Esenboğa Approach '''immediately''' after take-off. At first contact report only callsign and passing altitude. Do '''not''' report the altitude you are climbing to. All aircraft are required to obey the speed and altitude restrictions. Example:<blockquote>''Esenboğa Tower'': Turkish 3YP, you are cleared for take-off RWY 01. After departure, contact ''Esenboğa'' Approach on frequency 1**.***.
Contact Esenboğa Approach '''immediately''' after take-off. At first contact, report '''only your callsign'''. Check the current ATIS for the active Approach frequency. All aircraft are required to comply with published speed and altitude restrictions.


''THY3YP'': Cleared for take-off RWY 01, thank you, Turkish 3YP.
Example:
<blockquote>
''Esenboğa Tower'': Turkish 3YP, you are cleared for take-off RWY 03L. After departure, contact Esenboğa Approach.


''THY3YP'': Cleared for take-off RWY 03L, Turkish 3YP.


''THY3YP departs from RWY 03L''
''THY3YP departs from RWY 03L.''


''THY3YP'': Esenboğa Approach, good day, Turkish 3YP.


''THY3YP'': ''Esenboğa'' Approach, good day, Turkish 3YP, passing 800 feet.
''Esenboğa Approach'': Turkish 3YP, Esenboğa Approach, identified.
