Expressway Visual 31 CRJ-900 (w/touchdown at ~ 750')

[@jetpilot3714]

I’ve got right at 2000 hours in this air frame. These guys did one hell of a job! Thanks for posting.

[@PeterMasella]

As a passenger, I love sitting on the left side of the plane for this approach!

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

You'll want the right side if they're doing the rwy 22 River visual

[@PeterMasella]

@@kinkisharyocoasters Yes! or the left side if they are doing left traffic to runway 22.

[@OSTARAEB4]

@@kinkisharyocoastersi prefer the Hudson 22 Visual too since it offers a better bird’s eye view of the skyline on a clear day.

[@phasetech]

Awesome video flying by NYC and over Queens. I spent 30 of my years there. Brought back memories.

[@scottbridge9391]

I have the utmost respect for pilots who are able to get their jet aircraft into LGA. That's one of the trickiest, hardest airports to get into, leaving very little room or margin for error. And that's in good weather conditions. I lived in NY during my teen years, and I experienced this as a passenger many times. What the hell were the developers and city officials thinking when they built those humungous, Godzilla-sized buildings right under the flight path into Runway 31???? JEEZ!!! you're only at 500 feet when you're going over those things!!

[@miguelarroyo6239]

Man, that was right on the 1000 footers. Great job.

[@Alexiosftw]

Quick little bastard! Love the CRJ family

[@kelliceswaggerty7662]

Great Video! Not only do we get a pilot's perspective of LaGuardia's short runways, but also the tight spacing as another jet is visible having just taken off on the same runway seconds before.

[@waterlife.1905]

Subscribed. Awesome flight. Heard the CRJ is pretty slippery and difficult to land without a long final.

[@hotelgulf]

Definitely easier from seat 2A! I lived in NYC for 35 years. By far, my favorite way into LGA. Thanks for this!

[@austinvitoux]

Saw it in the sim a few times, but this the first time seeing it for real. Looks a little intense and a great landing to finish.

[@gcorriveau6864]

Ah yes! I remember this well... (on DC-9s and A320s). ACCURACY above all else on touchdown...Then - get off runway expeditiously and never go across the intersection with the crossing runway because then it'd be at least a half-hour longer to get back across the taxiway to the gate! ;-) nice video - thanks for sharing.

[@tarangsharma6102]

When the professionals meet the cockpit😍😍

[@briandecker8403]

For anyone who thinks it's all cake and candy up front, watch the amount of control inputs required to handle this approach.

[@hotelgulf]

Brian Decker loosey goosey

[@noblegoldheart8508]

I can definitely agree with what you're saying. As a pilot in training I can say the landing is the hardest part of every flight.

[@John_Thompson]

I was between 9000 - 10,000 hours TT when this was taken, the majority of which was in the CRJ-200 & 900. It's about how fine you want to slice it, and how far from the runway. For example, loosey goosey doesn't work in the flare. What I am doing it trying to accomodate every gust and fairly far out, so the aircraft doesn't start going in some undesired direction. 100% seat of the pants. You are always trying to get better. 747 video for reference: facebook.com/reel/695588245731704

[@lauralee2823]

im a big fan of pilots, and all the hard work they do. i always say thank you, to the pilots, after I de-plane.. i love watching planes land on Runway 4, at LGA.

[@arifabdullah7142]

Hats off to this pilot!

[@chrisb8052]

Well done, sir. I've flown the Rj9 and instructed for about 2200 hours and that was textbook. Had a trip that was supposed to take me into LGA for an overnight but I got sick and had to call out. :(

[@mjl1966y]

Our version of Kai Tek. Was in the cabin of a 738 today and they shot this with a 20 knot crosswind from the right. Felt like we were at the Reno air races. And bumpy as hell. Not fun.

[@erikig]

Love watching this at 2x speed. I didn't realize how many adjustments the crew make on approach.

[@condoraerialvideoandphotog3465]

gotta love laguardia landings .

[@ottavva]

gotta find it first :) been there as a passenger, seemed to me like a water landing

[@Janet_Airlines802]

I love the CRJ, I fly it’s on MSFS often.

[@SkyWayMan90]

My first flight into LGA was from the right seat of an RJ, at night on the Expressway Visual...great memories.

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

What airline? When was it?

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

It's always exciting to watch from downtown Flushing when this approach is in use. So only one runway was in use on this day? Considering the line of planes waiting to take off

[@Matt-mo8sl]

Like a boss.

[@MDAce150]

On this particular day Runway 4-22 was likely closed for construction as it’s clear they are arriving and departing Runway 31. And this video is 6 years old and that’s right around the time 4-22 was being rehabbed.

[@nicoroz6912]

Beautiful approach!

[@thomaspease208]

at 5:09 beautiful visual

[@armyavi8tor]

Nice, reminds me doing the stadium visual into EWR

[@MithridatesOfficial]

Was thinking the same thing haha

[@TimetoWatch247]

You made that look easy!

[@skydiverwoman]

Great job on the landing and videography. A scenic approach but certainly not an easy one. You greased it!

[@dnhug]

AWESOME!

[@naterichards5082]

i need to try this approach in the simulator. looks challenging

Amazing

[@Th3Butcher76]

Was that touchdown on the 1000' markers?

[@John_Thompson]

~ 750'

[@RangerChris61]

Wow that looks like a bear of an approach to fly.

[@arjunpandey6331]

Very nice video

[@Wolland77]

That was awesome, great job.

[@manojmangaonkar7535]

Very fast exit from runway.

[@radiohead2206]

Average Joe like me unfortunately rate the pilot on just landing. When in fact, the whole duration of the flight be it one or 15 hours, the pilot is shitting in pants ready in anything goes wrong. Kudos to you pilots, thanks for keeping us safe.

[@GeneralJackRipper]

That was sweet.

[@daniel_ellery]

Nice crosswind correction

[@jetroar17]

Would love to see this at night. Never could find those f--king tanks!

[@FlyNAA]

jetroar17 Look for a suspension bridge with a tower that‘s lit up purple! They’re just to the right, and South of it. Finally figured that one out my last time.

[@wmsnowboarding5882]

thank goodness for DIALS!

[@darrellgordon7456]

The original tanks were actually removed (imploded) in 2001, the old ones were 400' tall painted with aviation red and white and could be seen from as far away as the Bronx. You couldn't miss them ny.curbed.com/2015/5/20/9959320/remembering-brooklyns-maspeth-holders-demolished-in-2001
