what's the shortest runway you've encountered with an ILS?


Runway 6 at Shirley, NY (Brookhaven, HWV), is 4200 ft.


Huh... for some reason that one actually seemed longer to me. But
then i went from 3200 ft with a 1000' displaced threshhold in NC to
Brookhaven, so I guess it would seem longer. HWV was actually the
last place my ILS receiver worked.

There might be a minimum but it doesn't appear to be 4000 feet.
VVS, 05, 3458, 100, ASPH-F
HIE, 10, 3495, 75, ASPH-G
PVC, 07, 3500, 100, ASPH-G
FCM, 10R, 3909, 75, ASPH-G
BTP, 08, 3998, 100, ASPH-F

Pavement doesn't seem to be a requirement either.

Oh! I'm sorry for being incomplete there. I forgot to mention that
I was looking at runways with full ILS or just localizers. The FAA
groups everything under "ILS"
http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/ATA-1...ats/Apt_rf.txt

L AN 0010 00072 I22 INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS) TYPE
ILS - INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM
MLS - MICROWAVE LANDING SYSTEM
SDF - SIMPLIFIED DIRECTIONAL FACILITY
LOCALIZER - LOCALIZER
LDA - LOCALIZER-TYPE DIRECTIONAL AID
ISMLS - INTERIM STANDARD MICROWAVE
LANDING SYSTEM
ILS/DME - INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM/
DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT
SDF/DME - SIMPLIFIED DIRECTIONAL FACILITY
DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT
LOC/DME - LOCALIZER/
DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT
LOC/GS - LOCALIZER/GLIDE SLOPE
LDA/DME - LOCALIZER-TYPE DIRECTIONAL AID
DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT
and I was examining anything with "ILS" or "LOC" in the type. Here's
a better list.
SXL, 04, 3015, 50, ASPH-F, SDF
VVS, 05, 3458, 100, ASPH-F, LOCALIZER
HIE, 10, 3495, 75, ASPH-G, LOCALIZER

DUT, 12, 3900, 100, ASPH-G, MLS
FCM, 10R, 3909, 75, ASPH-G, ILS
BTP, 08, 3998, 100, ASPH-F, ILS

Hmmm...looks like I should have just gone straight to the ILS file
instead of looking at airport/runway info.

Wild. Hard to believe you can shoot an ILS to Gravel, of course each
of those runways mentioned are in Alaska...

MYF in San Diego


Runway 28 R 4577 of pavement,


Ah ha! I hadn't even caught that one. The airport data file puts all
information for a runway (both ends) in one line and I had neglected
to look at the reciprocol end data.

That makes the under 4000' list look like this.

but with landing length on the ILS
approach plate of 3401.


O.k., here's the list by landing lengths (considering displaced
thresholds).

W99, 31, 3999, 60, ASPH-G, LDA/DME, 0, 3999
MYF is indeed the shortest for a full ILS.

displaced threshold":

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.

I assume it has a circle to land? The AIM has a picture of using
circling to reduce altitude.


It does, though my description was ambiguous. The hill is on the centreline
of the approach if you were to follow it 2 miles *beyond* the airport. The
MAP is 2 miles before it. The LOC is actually for a 207 degree course while
the runway is 08/26, so circling is required anyway, even without a 1240 ft
descent required from 2 miles.
