About León Int'l Airport

Overview

León Int'l Airport serves the León region in northwestern Spain, situated at an elevation of 3006 ft MSL near La Virgen Del Camino. The airport features two runways with different surface types: a primary 9843ft asphalt runway (05/23) and a secondary 3392ft dirt runway (06/24). Its medium airport classification suggests it supports regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at León demonstrate predominantly VFR flying opportunities, with 70% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -10°C to 31°C, with an average of 8°C. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270° with an average speed of 6.4 knots, rarely exceeding 25 knots, and experiencing calm conditions 2.6% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind alignment. Terrain surrounding León suggests a higher elevation environment typical of the Spanish plateau region. Average visibility consistently remains excellent at 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility and only 7.7% of observations reporting fog conditions.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and November represent the most reliable months for VFR operations, offering the most consistent flying conditions. Both runways demonstrate minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of just 3.9 knots. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions, particularly during autumn months, with high probability of visual meteorological conditions.
