La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield (LECA)

La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield at a glance

La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield is a small airport / airfield in Corral de Ayllón, Castilla y León, Spain. The field elevation of 3,280 ft (1000 m) is the number every arriving pilot dials against QNH — circuit heights and initial approach altitudes at LECA are all figured from it. There is no scheduled airline service listed here — typical traffic is general aviation, training and local operations.

Of its 2 runways, the longest — 04/22 — has no published length, without recorded lighting. Runway numbers give magnetic orientation: runway 04 points roughly 40° magnetic.

La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield has no METAR station of its own, so the weather picture is assembled rather than read: take the current report and forecast from the nearest reporting airport — Sotillo de la Andrada is the closest listed field, 22 km away — and treat it as the regional trend, not local truth. Terrain does the rest: a valley field can sit in fog while the reporting airport shows CAVOK, and wind bends around ridgelines in ways no distant anemometer captures. The honest sequence is the regional METAR for the go/no-go trend, then your own eyes at the field for the final call.

Flight-planning notes for La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield

Density altitude is the quiet performance-killer at any field: on a hot day the 3,280 ft field elevation of La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield can translate into a substantially higher density altitude, stretching take-off rolls and flattening climb rates — run the numbers rather than trusting the feel of a standard day. As with most small fields, the recorded details can lag reality — surfaces get resurfaced, thresholds move and operating hours change — so a call ahead to the field operator is part of the plan, not a courtesy.

Where this data comes from

The reference layer behind this page builds on the OurAirports dataset — a public-domain, community-maintained register of the world's airports that many flight planners and apps rely on — with equity records preserved from documented historical listings where the dataset is silent. Figures are carried as published: elevations as surveyed, coordinates as filed, runway dimensions as recorded. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and the whole layer regenerates from source on every site build, so corrections upstream arrive here automatically.
