LECU is the military part of the Cuatrovientos aerodrome and LEVS is the civil part. Questions, is there a differentiation between the LECU/LEVS scenario? There is only one LECU scenario? If the two LECU/LEVS scenarios are present, do they complement each other, forming Cuatrovientos, or do they interfere with each other? Thank you.
