Airbus A340-300 approach to RWY 13L at JFK.

Our Airbus A340-300 on the final approach segment of the RNAV Z to runway 13L, also known as the former but legendary ‚Canarsie approach‘ which I got to fly a lot with the Boeing B747-200 I used to fly as a first officer.
Although today’s FMS programming and flight management systems are of great help, this one is still challenging…😃

Second time I came to America we landed on this approach, and I was lucky enough to be sitting on the right-hand side of an Air India 747. Great fun! The captain warned us ahead of time so the scaredy cats onboard wouldn't panic. lol

[@PapaPadde]

I can feel you - this approach really is special! My first time was back in the days as a first officer on the B747-200 when it was still called the 'canarsie visual approach', tracking it with a VOR needle and the landmarks on the ground. ;-) Everyone was eager to fly it!

[@jamessanders145]

@@PapaPadde what's the reason for such a tight approach? and flying an A 340

[@PapaPadde]

Main reason is the dense traffic in NYC airspace, so this apporach is curved to not interfere with traffic to the other airports in the area. Well, my company still uses the A340...not many alternatives available on short notice at the moment... ;-)

[@skinbleaching125]

[@simgamelab3034]

that was a scary firm landing

[@major3336]

Didn’t know those things announced “approaching 13 left.” Like that. I’ve heard it when the planes are taxiing to the runway but not when landing.

[@PapaPadde]

The call-out is part of the RAAS (runway awareness and advisory system) which is a function of the enhanced ground proximity warning system. So, whenever approaching a runway - either on ground or in flight - the system provides us with a runway call-out.

[@rsa3142]

[@PapaPadde]

Thank you for your comment and I am crossing my fingers for you that your dream will come true! Well, it is all about basic training of pitch and power which help to control the aircraft - no matter if it is a small plane or one as large as the A380 - the principles are all the same. :-)

[@kevindigo22]

I have to admire those that make the JFK Canarsie approach to 13L look easy, especially in the heavies. I practiced this approach many many times on FSX and it was always hard to roll out of the turn and nail the landing when flying by hand. What I don't understand here is whether the PF is flying the plane visually by hand all the way in.....or is the autopilot flying the plane on the RNAV Z down to the threshold? If the latter, then not as much respect haha.

[@JiovanyLouisbosslife]

AP2 (autopilot 2) in this video was on all the way until the plane was aligned with the runway. Its normally flown manually though

[@AlexDMC]

I think you can hear it at 0:47

[@KingJacob23]

Beautiful night

[@bigmaxy07]

I'm just trying to work out what mode they were in if the turns we being made before the A/P came out, yet there's no use of the heading knob so it must be in managed mode?

[@PapaPadde]

You are right, we were flying in ‚Final Approach‘ mode which means that the flightpath is fully managed laterally and vertically. The autopilot receives the navigational data from the FMGS where the approach has been programmed. It is a so-called. ‚Non-precision approach‘ and has to be monitored closely.

[@bigmaxy07]

@@PapaPadde Thanks I didn;t know that. I think I just ignorantly assumed it was pure visual once you reached the turn. But I now see there's RNAV approaches available. Nice! Talk about closely monitoring! That's a lot of trust in the coding!

[@PapaPadde]

My pleasure! Monitoring and thorough checking of the coding is vital for these kind of approaches, especially in weather with limited visibility. Glad you like it! :-)

[@user-iy3kt5ew1i]

Great video ! For the final turn, it seems to be manually flying, but we can hear the autopilot disconnection sound, I don t really get it. Could you explain me that plz ?

[@PapaPadde]

Thanks! The final turn has initially been flown with the autopilot on. Just after passing 400ft, the first officer, who was pilot flying during that approach, disconnected the autopilot for a manual landing.

[@Swy2023]

I wouldn't want to be on a plane where the pilots waited until 400 feet AGL to disconnect the autopilot on such a challenging approach.

[@Spo_ng]

how did you gain access to the cockpit

[@sathyaajay3628]

we (maybe) all know that if gpws calls out "5" yk it's a smooth landing

[@statingtheobvious8119]

I believe the "5" callout can be turned on or off as per company to company and is not indicative of a smooth landing, but this landing was quite nice
