Weather Briefing
MVFRLeeds East Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (260°) at 14 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light RADZ. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light RADZ between 18:00Z and 10:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Leeds East Airport
Overview
Leeds East Airport is located in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, serving as a medium-sized airport situated at 29 feet above mean sea level. The airport's coordinates (53.834747, -1.194678) place it in a strategic location in northern England. It supports various aviation operations with its two asphalt runways.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 29 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain with minimal altitude-related complexities. Being situated in North Yorkshire, pilots should anticipate variable weather conditions typical of the region, with potential wind shifts affecting runway selection. The two runways (06/24 and 16/34) provide operational flexibility in different wind conditions.
Notable Features
Leeds East Airport features two asphalt runways with substantial lengths: runway 06/24 measuring 6,158 feet and runway 16/34 measuring 5,466 feet. These runway dimensions accommodate a range of aircraft types and provide multiple approach options. The airport's geographic positioning in North Yorkshire suggests potential terrain considerations in the surrounding landscape.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will typically depend on prevailing wind direction, with the two perpendicular runways (06/24 and 16/34) offering comprehensive wind coverage. Pilots should carefully assess current meteorological conditions and utilize the full length of available runways during approach and landing. The airport's dual runway configuration provides operational resilience and flexibility for different aircraft types.
