 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.
+=== Planning Taxi Time ===
+In Ankara Esenboğa Airport, taxi times are different for north and south config. When north config is in use, the taxi time for departure is about 5 minutes whereas for south config, it can be 10-15 minutes. Since arrival and departure traffic uses the same taxiway when south config is in use, there might be even delays to pushback and startup.
+=== Obtaining Clearance ===
+When you ready to obtain your clearance, check the latest ATIS information. As there is no PDC service available in Ankara Esenboğa Airport, you need to call DEL controller for clearance. At first contact, report “Call Sign + Stand Position + ATIS Information”.
+=== Pushback and Engine Start ===
+Just like any other airport, when you are ready for pushback and/or engine start, call GND controller using your callsign and stand number. The GND controller will either clear you or tell you standby due to external circumstances (traffic behind, area not clear, startup at X area restricted etc.).
+=== Taxi procedures ===
+The taxi procedures are fairly simple. As there is one taxiway (TWY A) parallel to the runway and several taxiways connecting the apron to the taxiway A, the taxi routes are mostly easy to understand. When south config is active, departure traffic leaving apron 4 and joining A becomes an issue due to arrival traffic vacating at H. Traffics are expected to pay extra attention in situations like these.
+Intersection takeoffs are mandatory unless advised by ATC. '''Expect E1 and E for taxi for 03L departures'''.
+== Departure Procedures ==
+=== RECAT - LTAC ===
+With the introduction of "Wake Turbulence Re-categorisation" in Turkish Airspace, the conventional wake turbulence categories has been re-defined. You can find more information from [https://www.skybrary.aero/articles/recat-wake-turbulence-re-categorisation Skybrary using this link].

+===Minimum Runway Occupancy Time for Departures===
+Minimum runway occupancy time is applied to all landing and departing aircraft. This is to minimize the occupancy time of the only runway that is available for both departures and arrivals:
+*To optimize the runway utilization, flight crews shall complete all check lists prior to line-up clearance and be ready for immediate take-off,
+*When aircraft is at the RWY holding point, pilots should commence line-up and take off roll immediately after take-off clearance is issued by ATC,
+*When aircraft is already lined-up on RWY, pilots should commence take off roll immediately after take-off clearance is issued by ATC,
+*Pilots are expected to react take-off clearances within 10 seconds,
+*Pilots unable to comply with these requirements shall notify ATC before entering the RWY, otherwise ATC may instruct the aircraft to vacate the RWY and re-sequence to prevent excessive RWY occupation.
