==Arrival Procedures==
===Introduction===
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.
Important things to keep in mind:
*Vacating aircraft has priority at the intersection of the parallel taxiway.
*After the runway is vacated, '''do not report vacated''' to TWR* and '''DO NOT STOP''' on rapid-exit taxiways.
<nowiki>*</nowiki>''unless LVP is in progress. Check next section for more details.''
===Low Visibility Procedure===
When LVP are in progress, every traffic '''must''' report "'''''Vacated'''''" to the TWR, as verbal confirmation from the traffic is mandatory and for the TWR to know the runway is available for the next traffic.
===STARs===
The STARs at Ankara Esenboğa Airport are different for each config. For North config (RWY 03L/R), the STARs end at IAFs (''TIARE'' and ''VEZIN'') for ILS-V 03R approach whereas for South config (RWY 21L/R), the STARs end at downwind where the APP controller will vector the traffic to final.
