Leuchars Station Airfield is a military airfield in Fife, Scotland, close to the village of Leuchars, offering a substantial pair of hard-surfaced runways and an instrument landing system on its main runway. For a simulator pilot it presents one of the longer runways available in Scotland, with full runway lighting throughout, set within the flat coastal landscape of eastern Fife.
Leuchars Station Airfield sits at Leuchars in Fife, Scotland, and is operated as a military airfield. It is built around two paired hard-surfaced runways, the longer of which carries an instrument landing system, making it a notable and capable field for anyone flying the area in a simulator. Its scale and lighting reflect a history of use by larger military aircraft, and it remains an active flying station today.
The airfield lies at an elevation of 26 feet at Leuchars in Fife, Scotland, at coordinates 56.3727N, 2.8685W. As an active military airfield it forms part of the local airspace structure associated with its flying operations.
Leuchars has two physical runways. The main runway, 08/26, is a hard surface some 8,184 feet long on runway 08 and 8,526 feet long on runway 26, lit throughout, with an instrument landing system serving runway 26. The secondary runway, 04/22, is also hard-surfaced and lit, measuring 4,208 feet on runway 04 and 4,770 feet on runway 22.
