You clearly don't know what you're talking about. ILS approaches are not curved. This was an RNAV/ Canarsie VISUAL approach into 13L. It can be flown as an RNAV approach or the same with visual guidance. Regardless, this approach is largely visual if the weather is completely clear. This approach is also known as the parkway visual. Where they follow the highway until the lead in lights to the runway. There was also a significant crosswind from the left.

This was my favorite approach to JFK flying the B767-300ER in the 80's and 90's, arriving at night every time. Began with the Camrn Arrival from the Southeast and then vectors to join the Canarsie VOR Approach to runways 13L/R. After the Canarsie VOR you just follow the Lead-in lights to the runway. This famous approach was created during the late 1960's, I believe.

@cantstandtheestablishment4004 Stabilized approach criteria were met with descent path and aircraft configuration, but it doesn't prevent required turns for runway alignment. Another great example of a unique approach where you see something similar to this is at DCA - Reagan National on the River Visual 19. Aircraft have to follow the Potomac River to avoid prohibited airspace and make the last turn to align with the runway well below 500'. Lots of great videos here on KZbin from spotters at Gravelly Point Park showing this, and a few showing the view from the cockpit.

Very easy approach. Just follow the lead in lights, the sequential lights, or just fly into the lights of the cars on the Belt Parkway. Thats the busy road next to those lights. As a retired corporate pilot, I’ve flown this approach many times over the years, The fact I lived in NYC made this video all the more special. Thanks. If memory serves me correctly, this is the Canarsie approach, unless they renamed it ?? This approach is as much fun as shooting an approach into Kai Tak, no longer there. I’ve flown into there five times in my life, and lived to talk about it.
@gregfaris6959Ай бұрын
It has not been renamed, and it was never called the "Canarsie" approach, even though it uses the Canarsie VORTAC as a waypoint. It is called the "Parkway Visual" though indeed pilots do tend to refer to it informally as "Canarsie".

I first learned of the pre-runway timed flashing lights "beckoning in" to the runway in my first jet flight 707 manual they put in the seat pocket, way back as a kid in 1962, a flight from LAX to O'Hare Chicago. But it was drawn as a straight on approach. It looks like here they have these approach lights turned on way earlier and curving around 90 degrees, so these advance lights guide the plane to the runway from whatever angle a plane may approach from, not just a straight on approach.

At first I thought he was carrying a little too much power on final, but I'm glad I kept my mouth shut. He knows his sink rate a lot better than I do, and his approach and glideslope were perfect. Which leads to a textbook perfect landing and short rollout. He had all the numbers perfect the whole time. Airspeed, groundspeed, sink rate, glideslope, flight track. It's thrilling to witness a perfect approach and landing on such a beautiful night over one of the most magnificent lighted landscapes you could ask for. Well done!

The (in)famous Canarsie Approach! It requires additional training because of the visual navaids and the steep turn at 500 feet. One of my friends is an A-330 captain who claims to love this approach because of the challenge! I’ve been a passenger on many flights using Canarsie, but it isn’t as noticeable from the cabin. I posted one of them on YT. (The reason is because the airspace shared with LaGuardia and Newark is intertwined, and makes the approaches tight and complicated)

Choppy flight is one thing but we dropped, I don’t know how many feet in a second and came screaming hot fast for a landing. Scared the shit out of everyone but the flight attendant. He had quite the sense of humor and as we pulled in he announced “In case you didn’t notice….welcome to Portland” It was rather amusing at the time and cut the tension.
