The shortest with a LOC is HONNINGSVAG VALAN in Norway at 2625 ft. It looks
fun, with an MDH of 1240 ft and a hill above that level at 2 miles on the
extended centreline. The hill has a tower on to make it more fun.


It would seem that you could never have a full ILS on such
a short runway. With the runway/GS intercept a common 1000'
down the runway, there ain't much length left to whoa!

The shortest with an ILS was Schwaebisch Hall at 3018 ft, but I can't find
the approach, so the official winner Mannheim City scrapes in at 3497 ft.
