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.

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.
