Weather Briefing
VFRLeeds East Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 10 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,200 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 4°C (39°F) with a dewpoint of 1°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 02:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
