AD 1.1 AERODROME/HELIPORT AVAILABILITY AND CONDITIONS OF USE

1.1.1. GENERAL CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH AERODROMES/HELIPORTS AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE FOR USE

The AD part of AIP-SYRIA contains information on aerodromes in Syria which are available for use by civil aircraft whether engaged in international or domestic operations. Such aerodromes are classified and tabulated in three categories, which primarily cover the description of those aerodromes designated as aerodromes of entry or departure. 
These descriptions relate only to the use of the aerodrome and the clearance formalities involved. Details of physical characteristics of aerodromes available for international commercial air transport operations contain physical characteristics of other aerodromes opened for public use without discrimination

All of these aerodromes are, unless otherwise stated, owned, supervised, maintained and operated by  the GACA (See GEN 1.1-1 for postal telegraphic addresses). Except in cases of emergency, civil aircraft are only permitted to use those aerodromes which are available for use 
by International Commercial air transport. Other aerodromes may be used after obtaining permission from the GACA. 

a) If a possibility exists that an aircraft may arrive at an aerodrome outside its normal operational hours,  arrangements should be made with Damascus ACC that the aerodrome will remain open at the time of its proposed arrival.

b) It is to be noted that fuel and oil are not available at some domestic aerodromes.
