Boeing 767-300 JFK Night Landing - Cockpit View

[@craigenputtock]

Pilots are amazing people

[@sanddabz5635]

That was pretty sweet! What an amazing thing it would be for the Wright Brothers to get that same viewpoint and see how far aviation has come.

[@kiowa1508]

Orville Wright’s last flight was in a Lockheed Constellation. Not a 67…but to him, it must have felt like a Saturn V….. PS: we lived in CA for 20 years…and I really miss Sand Dabs😜

[@christophergaus3996]

All the white city led lighting is so sparkly! Man times have changed

[@davidc9424]

Good point! Years ago cities had a predominantly yellowish/orange glow from sodium lamps but as those are being replaced with LEDs they now glow with a whiter brightness.

[@LegendLength]

@@davidc9424 I remember flying into China as a kid in the 80s. Every street had the exact same yellow lights even out in the country. Had a really cool atmosphere, seems really mysterious.

[@Primus54]

Nothing cooler than a night time Canarsie approach in clear weather. Great video. 👍👍👍

[@davidc9424]

Thanks 👍

[@paco52R]

Been there done that Prefered approach of the JFK controlllers

[@Pauley_in_GP]

That's the kind of reality TV that I like. 😀

[@henryostman1199]

Hands down one of the best night approach videos due to the visibility and complexity of the low long descent right turn almost akin to Kai Tak approach . Thanks send more !

[@davidc9424]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@saffy4352]

Auto pilot! Amazing IFR. It's a 300 million dollar plane! Show us your skills in manual turbo props!

[@saffy4352]

Or an SEP without ifr.

[@carol-kp3bk]

i always thank the pilots for a safe landing. i hope they appreciate their own efforts in navigating safely. i.ve flown in national airport (now called reagan international) during the daytime but this night landing in NY was gorgeous. thank you to all the pilots who get us safely to our destinations

[@beverlyreiner-baillargeon6205]

I love pilots who can land a plane nicely!!! Thank you. ❤❤

[@WendyKS93]

I so enjoyed seeing this nighttime landing video. The city was all aglow as well as the cockpit and the aerial views were stunning. Thank you very much for sharing this. A great video.

[@davidc9424]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidswelt]

That RNAV is an unusual instrument approach. Visual segments at the end (multiple waypoints with altitude restrictions) for noise abatement, missed approach instructions that I don't 100% understand. Look it it up, fun! And thanks for posting, DC Travels.

[@davidc9424]

Glad you liked it, It's definitely a unique approach.

[@theOnly_Gatsby]

@davidswett Parkway visual 13 L/R - L has an ILS R does not

[@emmapasqule2432]

Yeah I agree... very dodgy in some respects, the pilot ignored the waypoint markers and was off centre compared to ILS instruction. Very suprising/eye brow raising... i wonder if the pilot was cautioned?

[@nathanheeter1342]

@@emmapasqule2432for following procedure?

[@MODECHARLIE]

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.

[@zimbabouer656]

We need more video like this, love it !

[@davidc9424]

I don't jumpseat too often but look forward to capturing more cockpit footage like this in the future

[@dc10fomin65]

Pretty cool, I remember when this airport was called Idlewild, when on August 19, 1961 I landed there in a VARIG Super Constellation G when I was 12, I am now 75 and wish they never changed the place to JFK!

[@davidc9424]

Sounds like a memorable experience flying in a classic propliner like the Constellation.

[@JustChiminin]

I had the same experience, flying home from Kansas City, August '61. What are the odds!

[@cap1900]

How can ya not love the "Ka Nas See" Approach? It never gets old.

[@DonnaEvaBrown]

My son & Grandson fly to New York tomorrow They will luv it....And the flight....

[@silverwings1843]

It was more scenic before 9/11 when we would fly over NYC Central and Times Square going into the western runways of LGA and JFK. Big city lights at night are stunning. Always looked at them as paintings on black velvet. But NYC is pretty nice. DFW and FTW is another amazing sight at night. But nothing in this world can compare to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

[@Speysider1962]

Something mesmerising watching the cockpit all lit up at night.

[@daviddroxler8534]

Just fabulous. Used to Fly Prop Planes. Cessnas 210s, Piper Tripacers. Love the View from the Cockpit. Thanks so much!

[@davidc9424]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gurukn]

dudeeee. That's the first time I've seen a night time landing in HDR. I've got goosebumps rn. wow.

[@yaroslavgerasimenko5235]

A very spectacular landing and very skillfully executed. Thanks for the nice video. Boeing 767-300 is the plane on which I had my first flight in my life! Greetings from Ukraine!

[@davidc9424]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephenj8576]

Hope things are ok for you there.

[@UCBAOLyZudlGBEtCd3Lvog5w]

I used to fly this aircraft! I love his large cockpit, thoughtfull ergonomic. It's widebody heavy aircraft but is controlled easy and free

[@mrkc10]

Very nice. Jump seat view never disappoints. Thnx for the ride along.

[@davidc9424]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@philipcollura2669]

Another great view is driving westbound on the Belt Pkwy and seeing an A380 make this approach. I'm guessing the aircraft is making the last right turn is only around 200 ft. over the road. Often travel the Belt and have been lucky enough to see the A380 do this a couple of times. Thanks for upload, beautiful video.

[@groovelife415]

Beautiful views out the window. As with anything, when you see it often enough it loses its magic and becomes boring.

[@Custodio.violin]

Hello. Watching this from Brazil. It is amazing

[@davidc9424]

Hello, and thanks for watching!

[@gustavoheberle6265]

Although the weather is clear, it is always challenging to “ follow the rabbit” lights, do to a steady crosswind. Requires a good pilot hand flying proficiency. Cheers to this crew !

[@davidc9424]

Very true!

[@richardschindler8822]

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.

[@MarcPagan]

Very cool - thanks for the upload. Brings back memories when I flew a CRJ in the area. Both day and night time visual approaches were good fun, especially into LGA from the west. "Ref the BQE highway, then left at the water tower" --

[@davidc9424]

Thanks, glad you had the opportunity to fly in this area. Definitely some memorable visuals.

[@chipwilliams6236]

its something how a big machine just fly's through the air like that, technology is amazing,

[@fighterbomberMiG27]

Great camera work. Nice job

[@ninjabearpress2574]

Well that was pretty cool.

[@iansampson2492]

I'll never forget first time night flying with instructor and how quickly the runway disappears into the city lights....

[@bobwhitebread1887]

That was awesome ! Thanks for filming that.

[@davidc9424]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jorgeB767-3ER]

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]

I am shocked that they weren't line up with the RWY at 500 ft! Aren't the pilots supposed to be stabilized on approach?

[@davidc9424]

@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.

[@davidc9424]

@jorgeB767-3ER I was in a FedEx 727 back in the early 90's on my first visit to JFK and we flew this approach. I wasn't a pilot yet (pre 9/11 when employees could jumpseat) but remember seeing those lead-in lights for the first time and thinking how unique the approach was. Glad I had that perspective and have been able to fly it myself many years later.

[@codyjaybditw]

Gravelly Point Park is awesome!

[@SteveBull-tg8mi]

nice video, interesting landing pattern

[@nerd2814]

Magnificent stuff. Looking to become an airline pilot sometime down the line. Stuff like this is why I love flight ❤

[@davidc9424]

Go for it! Always follow your dream

[@bbmtge]

The slightly bumpy cockpit with contrasting color relative to the skyline reminded me of Dr. Strange love flight scenes.

[@wotan10950]

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)

[@TB-um1xz]

Why does it require additional training? I've never done any additional training when I first started doing it.

[@timmellin2815]

Oh, I thought I was imagining things when I viewed what I thought was the Citbank baseball stadium (very close to La Guardia) at the beginning of this video. Does the shared airspace between the two airports explain my perception ?

[@gabbleratchet1890]

You’re not seeing Citifield at the start. It’s further north. They are flying SW over JFK itself at the start.

[@richardshiggins704]

Beautiful city scape at night . I think this was the Canarsie approach .

[@Dani-xz1uw]

I can't imagine getting to see and do that for a living. Amazing.

[@DianneSmith-fv1vi]

Fantastic landing what a big bird to fly👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻glad u guys safe🎊

[@jbj27406]

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!

[@johnschmidt8440]

Very nice job. Done it many times myself.

[@scottsenatra1193]

Scariest landing this regular passenger ever experienced was PDX on a very windy evening. Jumper flight from Seattle in one of those turbo prop commuter planes Alaska uses. 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. Pilots deserve every cent you earn in my book💯

[@oldmanwalker]

I find the turning approach really fun! It’s a bit risky but it’s always fun to control and experience!

[@davidc9424]

Totally agree!

[@larrydockery7201]

i am an l-1011 guy but i do love that 767 that is one sweet air plane

[@Adam_Gray]

Love flying the nighttime Canarsie approach to 13L 💙✈

[@DJDave1962]

This at first glance looks like a game its amazing footage

[@herbertcourtesie2459]

And if you throw in a little fog at 500 feet, when turning, hair will grow where there is none. Enjoyed the short ride!

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Great stuff . Thank you . Pull up big apple , pull up big apple !

[@davidfranco1475]

Awesome footage..always amazes me seeing heavies do this approach. Really get a good sense aeeinf it from the cockpit

[@davidc9424]

I agree!

[@AaronHarberg]

Definitely a complicated approach!

Keep up the great work you do

[@davidc9424]

Thanks, will do!

[@timmellin2815]

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.

[@DavidHt1]

Strange approach, turning approach , will try that on the MSf2020.

[@michaelbrautigan7697]

Looks like Runway 13L. A very short approach with a steep turn prior to lining up comparable to Kaitak to avoid most of the city and the La Guardia traffic.

[@Aereaux]

I always like landing at LAX at night. Miles and miles of lights and then the black of the ocean at the end of the runways.

[@grasuh]

Quite a "departure" from the usual long straight approach videos. Nice!

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

That was really cool!😎

[@MarkusM521]

Nice video, exposure is spot on! I like that there exist a cockpit upgrade for the 767 and 757. But what i don't get about this upgrade is why only the PFD and ND display gets replaced and not also the old EICAS CRT displays in the middle? That’s just my thought.

[@davidc9424]

Thanks, these iPhone cameras are getting better with night videos but can't wait for them to improve even more. As for the EICAS upgrades I can only speculate it was either a financial or availability decision. The company that makes the flat panels, IS & S, now provides a flat panel upgrade to the EICAS screens so it would be nice to see those installed as well in the future.
