Ludham airfield strangely has a hangar in the middle of the runway, or at one end depending on how you look at it.
Ths hangar was sited there when the outer two sides were rented by two different farmers and the organisation that rented the runway only had the middle. Now all the runway is owned by Don but as you can imagine moving the hangar would be very expensive!
The hangar isn't actually a problem providing you have a reasonable amount of experience and follow the suggested approach that is mentioned in the flight guides and explained below. All operations at Ludham are at pilots and passengers own risk of course.
Landing from the West end should be easy for everyone though if you are going to 'go around' make a slight drift to the left and pass on the North side of the hangar. The south side of the runway has the windsocks and the power cables go to the hangar from the South. Flying down the South side of the hangar is therefore forbidden and would be dangerous.
Landing from the East end is more challenging and if you don't feel you have the experience then please delay your visit to Ludham until you have practiced unusual approaches at different airfields. Regardless of the wind direction if you are approaching to land from the East to runway 25 you must pass down the North side of the hangar. The power cables go to the hangar from the South side and the windsocks and visitors parking are on that side. Flying down the South side of the hangar is therefore forbidden and would be dangerous.
It is not recommended to try and fly over the hangar and then land on the runway. You will lose at least half of the runway, this approach is only possible for slow approaching STOL aircraft and even then we don't recommend it.
From the East fly the approach from the large broad (lake), aim for the barn and avoid the houses on final aiming to the right of the runway. When on short final line up your nosewheel with the grass verge on the north side of the runway aiming to cross the usuable strip of runway in the first 1/3 distance. A small right turn will be required when you are getting close to ground effect to line up for a straight touchdown. Have as many goes as you need but don't get fixated with the hangar, rather make sure the centre of your aircraft is on the gass verge as you pass the hangar.
