Great work,coma13794! Seeing the actual New York area flow, helps us who fly in-n-out of the tri-state area visualize the action. #Aviation #ATC

What a fascinating presentation of aviation activity in our skies! This goes on day after day without giving it a thought, an indication that the "system" in place essentially works. It also underscores the professionalism of those in the cockpit as well as those on the ground that make it work day in/day out. Unfortunately these efforts are highlighted only when there is an incident, and percentage-wise it is very low It's still the safest way to travel!! Thank you for providing this perspective.

Robert, That's a great point. You can safely fly IFR in the system without knowing anything about any of the flows. That's a testament to how it works, as you said. It is amazing to step back and see the big picture, though. In fact, I know it is equally interesting to step back yet another level and see how much sequencing actually takes place at the enroute phase up in the flight levels with delay vectors and speed restrictions. What you'll see is relatively large gaps between planes on arrival streams that are eventually filled in as the streams get merged. N90 is also interesting in that there are departure positions (the Liberty sector) that handle flights at higher altitudes, responsible for merging the jet departures (regardless of their departure airport) into a single stream prior to sending them to the enroute positions (Boston & New York Centers). By the time the center is working them, there's just a single file line of planes (edit: per gate)

coma13794 Working at NY Center, although we get departures in trail from N90 it's hardly a single file line. ZNY is unique because most of our sectors could be viewed more like approach airspace than enroute because there are so many transitions through our airspace. By the way, I don't recall any N90 sectors feeding ZDC (Washington Center).

[@coma13794]

Jon Popow I should've been more clear. I meant to imply that the departures were merged to a single file per gate. Or are you saying Liberty hands you several offset streams PER gate and leaves the merge for you to do? I'll make the edit regarding ZDC and make it per gate.

As one of the guys working the purple and orange planes...thank you for sharing!

[@coma13794]

Traian, I was hoping you'd be able to check it out, thanks for everything you and the N90 guys do. You were absolutely hammered with the EWR and TEB arrivals while I was inbound for CDW, have never heard you so busy.

Has to be one of the coolest videos ever on UT!

[@j3tw0rk3r]

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

This is awesome!
