Description
Llanbedr Airport (EGOD) in North Wales, UK
v2.0 updated to cover changes by the UK/World update
'The Gateway to the Mach Loop' The entrance to the low level military flying zone is only 12 miles from the airport so it is ideal for low level jet training.
Llanbedr airfield is also known as Snowdonia Aerospace Centre, is fast becoming a hive of activity with regular VIP Landings, aerospace testing, training, and events. There is also a flying school on site www.flysnowdonia.com offering lessons as well as aerobatic experiences.
They can also provide float planes for accessing the coast line which has regular visits from pods of dolphins,
With future plans to reopen the airport for military use the underground shelter has been installed to provide a 24/7 fast military response for un-authorised intrusions into UK airspace.
The airport has a FAA identifier of EGOD, with Gate 1 reserved for the military jets and the other parking locations available for GA planes.
NOTAM: under no circumstances should light aircraft loiter in the zone West of the general parking apron. Military fighter jets can, and do, launch with zero warning and cross the hatched area at very low altitudes.

v1.3 minor update to include all the runway signs to assist with taxing around the airport. One error corrected on the fuel truck routing.
v1.2 release. Final release until the UK update hits our computers in February. ATC issues resolved and all ground services now available.
v1.1 release. Taxiways and runways upgraded as well as a significant update to the underground hanger and local terraforming. ATC services basically work but I need to debug some issues I've seen with them. The Airport is now recognised as being open again after MSFS closed it :)
v1.0 release. Terraforming improved around the airport to improve the visibility of the approach lights on rwy17, control tower added and numerous other little tweaks. Flight plan for the Mach loop also included.
v0.1 1st concept release. With the release of military airplane to the flight simulator, this is a concept idea for an underground shelter for fast response fighter jets. Comments are invited on ideas to improve the concept.

Interestingly this airfield does not show on SkyVector with either EGOD or the later EGFD ICAO designator.
Must be a secret base lol.

I think it was closed but was being re-opened for private use?

It seems to have a strange status. It is not listed at all in the United Kingdom NATS AIP's but there is a guide to the airport and its facilities on YouTube dated 24 July 2021. Very weird.

For anyone interested in this level of detail I found the answer to my query. Llanbedr is apparently an unlicensed airfield at the moment, but it is listed in the Part 2 - EN-ROUTE (ENR) - ENR 5 - NAVIGATION WARNINGS section of the UK AIPs instead of Part 3 - AERODROMES (AD). Below is an extract from an informative discussion about the the status of such airfields on one of the UK GA web sites, plus a copy of the current AIP data for Llanbedr:

RESURRECTING AN OLD THREAD!
A list of unlicensed airfields without ICAO location indicators is in the AIP, but is it in the correct place for everyone's 'needs'?
ENR (a section which GA pilots seldom need to consult) contains lists of 'Aerial Sporting and Recreation Activities' including hang glider sites, gliding sites, microlight sites and parachuting sites, plus unlicensed airfields with ICAO Location Indicators where training has been approved by the CAA. Some of these latter eg Bourne, Henlow, Llanbedr, North Weald, Popham can generate intensive and/or high energy traffic, but rather than list them as airfields in the AD section, they are being treated simply as Navigation Warnings with only a phone number and 'type' of activity listed ie no contact frequency, no indication of runway length or QDM.
I would submit that many of these airfields , especially those listed as 'training' should be listed in the AD section of the AIP under a heading of 'Unlicensed aerodromes' with more detailed information than is presently published in ENR 5.5 extracted from the forms submitted to register the site as an 'Unlicensed & Uncertificated Aeronautical Site' such as runway direction, radio callsign and frequency plus type of radio service etc.
The RAF used to portray these airfields (including a recommended 'avoid' radius in the absence of an ATZ) when they published a section in the AIP (Mil) regarding 'Low Flying Areas' but I cannot find this section in the present AIP (Mil).
