RAF Leeming is an active Royal Air Force station in North Yorkshire, close to the market town of Northallerton, offering a long, ILS-equipped main runway alongside a shorter crosswind strip. As a military airfield with full air traffic control and approach radar services, it presents an interesting and well-equipped destination for simulator pilots flying in the Yorkshire area.
RAF Leeming is a Royal Air Force airfield situated near the village of Leeming and the town of Northallerton in North Yorkshire. It is a medium-sized military aerodrome with no scheduled airline service, but it is fully equipped with instrument approach facilities and a comprehensive suite of air traffic control frequencies, making it a capable and instructive stop for a VFR or instrument-flying simulator pilot exploring the region.
The airfield lies at coordinates 54.2925, -1.5354 in North Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Leeming and Northallerton, at an elevation of 115 feet.
RAF Leeming has two physical runways. The main runway, 16/34, is 7463 feet long with a hard surface, lit, and served by an instrument landing system on runway 16. The secondary runway, 03/21, is 1915 feet long, also hard-surfaced and lit.
The station operates a full set of approach, tower and ground frequencies. Approach control is available on 123.3 MHz, 127.75 MHz and 386.57 MHz, with a Zone Ops frequency on 259.025 MHz. The tower operates on 120.5 MHz and 368.92 MHz, ground control on 379.9 MHz, and an ATIS broadcast is transmitted on 369.475 MHz. A further miscellaneous frequency is listed on 127.75 MHz. Runway 16 is served by an instrument landing system.
RAF Leeming remains an active Royal Air Force station, operating with a full complement of approach, tower, ground and ATIS frequencies indicating a continuously staffed air traffic control service. It handles no scheduled airline traffic, consistent with its role as a military airfield, and its long, ILS-equipped runway supports instrument approach training and operations.
