LTAJ - GZT - Gaziantep

Climate & Weather
Gaziantep has a continental climate with influences of a semi-arid climate with very hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters.

Approach

 * LTAJ_obstacle.png though the base turn is programmed into the FMS it makes sense to check the speeds especially for the turn itself - the speed limit of 185 makes it necessary to fly in an intermediate configuration.
 * PAPI lighting is very low, which makes it very difficult to distinguish between red and white during day - that said the tower controll can adjust it on your request.
 * Be aware of the unusually high hill 2NM right of the localizer runway 28R, reaching up to 2753 feet which is approximately 530 feet in relation to the runway threshold.
 * With 4000ft (1785ft AGL) the FAP crossing altitude is quite low - this necessitates early configuration on the short final segment.

Taxi

 * Runway surface is very rough, landing on it the first time might have you worried about your tyres! Unlike Samsun though the bumps are small and close together, making the runway seem covered in potholes.
