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"> | The STAR structure for north configuration is focused on tight turns with long having the aircraft navigate around restricted areas.

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. | The difference between 1P and 2P is only applicable to the HALIL STAR.

[[File:LTAC Airport Layout Diagram.png|thumb|473x473px|Airport Layout]] | |||
=== Ground Layout === | |||
Ankara Esenboğa Airport consists of 2 parallel runways, 8 aprons scattered around airport. Note, the right layout is oriented as WEST up. | |||
=== Apron, Gates and Stands === | |||
==== Apron 1, Apron 2 and Apron 3 ==== | |||
Apron 1 and 2 is a single taxiway apron which extends from TWY A until the cargo buildings which are located at the end of apron 2. The stands go from 1A, 1, ..., 14. VIP, THY Technic, ATC Tower, Customs and few other facilities are located in this area. | |||
[[File:LT AD 2 LTAC PRKG A en Apron 1-2-3.png|thumb|Apron 1, 2 and 3]] | |||
Apron 3 also has a dedicated de-icing area located on stands 15-16. | |||
==== Apron 4 and A ==== | |||
Apron 4 and A are side by side aprons however Apron A is only used for government or head of state flights. | |||
Apron 4 has 9 stands and 18 gates (2 heavy, 16 medium). The main passenger terminal is also located in this apron. Both international and domestic flights are conducted from the same terminal. | |||
The terminal is a modular terminal, the gates 113-115 can be designated either international nor domestic, meaning according to the number of international and domestic flights, the domestic or international section can be grown by closing/opening sliding doors between the gates. For example if there are more domestic flights around 14-15 UTC, the domestic section can be extended all the way to gates 115 by closing the sliding doors between gates 115 and 116, then opening all the sliding doors between 116-113. | |||

==== Apron 6 and 7 ==== | |||
Apron 6 is kind of an extension to apron 5, mostly used for general aviation, leisure and executive aviation. Business jets or other smaller VIP aircraft can be seen at this apron as well. | |||
[[File:LT AD 2 LTAC PRKG D en APRON6-7.png|thumb|Apron 6 and 7]] | |||
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. | |||
