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.

And that runway was the site of my first actual IFR ILS after I got my IA.
It was fairly benign weather - 800 ft overcast. I don't remember it being
short, but I normally fly out of a 2500 runway with a 250 displacement.

MYF in San Diego

Runway 28 R 4577 of pavement, but with landing length on the ILS
approach plate of 3401.

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.

MYF is indeed the shortest for a full ILS.

Wanna go international?

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.

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.

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!

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.
