The term “Preferential RWY System (PRS)” shall be used to indicate the runway that, at a particular time, is considered by the ATC unit to be the most suitable for use by the aircraft expected to land at or take-off from the aerodrome, by taking into consideration aircraft performance, surface wind speed and its components. PRS Operations contribute to the optimum use of airspace and aerodrome capacity.<blockquote><big>The Preferential Runways in Ankara Esenboğa Airport (LTAC) are north configuration runways (03L/R)</big></blockquote>

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.

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.

==== 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">

==== South Configuration (RWY 21L/R) ====
The arrivals for south config is very simple. There is no approach transition and there is no base or final. Final waypoint is ''VECTORS'' which means after downwind, especially after AC455, traffics are expected to maintain present heading and should expect vectors to final from the APP controller.
The difference between 1P and 2P is only applicable to the HALIL STAR. HALIL 1P will navigate the traffic to join east downwind whereas 2P will join the west downwind.
