I live just outside of view at 0:49 in this video...when I see planes from Europe using this approach (sometimes, they're flying directly over the Belt Parkway, why this is also called the Parkway Visual), I know it will be a good day for planespotting if it's a weekend.
I bike along the Belt Parkway whenever it's warm enough. I like to bike up the bridge right by the horse riding facility. The planes pass right overhead. The elevation is high enough that you can see most of Brooklyn and Queens and of course the Manhattan skyline.
Not quite the Kai Tak Heart Attack, but looks like a blast to fly. I am curious about those HIRL offset approach strobes though, the first set I saw were along the Belt Parkway. How many sets are there? The very last set appear to be on top of a building right before an interchange with the Van Wyck. ruclips.net/video/lx3Ccs5tKfw/видео.html
There's two sets along the Belt Parkway, and some placed on the hotel on final approach to 13L. I grew up there, and it was always fascinating as a kid to see "the lineup" of jumbo jets approaching -- while sitting in traffic on the parkway below.
Why do you say that? Just wondering what you base the judgment on. Are you a commercial pilot who really thinks that JFK isn't professional or an amateur who thinks that because they sound different and say different things they don't know what they are doing? When JFK is busy they really hammer through the instructions, and they deal with a lot of local idiots who don't know how to state what they want. I was introduced to ATC at RAE Bedford and the controllers we dealt with like London Military. I find the American way lacks clarity in some important circumstances, so an American pilot might tell the controller he's lost an engine and have to be asked "are you declaring an emergency" or, occasionally, they come out and say they are "declaring an emergency" instead of using the proper word. A British pilot, like the Thompson 263H pilot who ingested a couple of herons into the right engine of his 757 at Manchester (MAN/EGCC), comes right out and states his case "Mayday. Mayday. Mayday. Thomspon two five three hotel. Engine failure. Continuing north westerly then inbound Wallasey". But Sullenberger did it pretty much as well in Cactus 1549 "mayday mayday mayday. uh this is uh Cactus fifteen thirty nine hit birds, we've lost thrust (in/on) both engines we're turning back towards LaGuardia." They both got their flight number wrong, but they had a lot on their mind. In the Thompson case Manchester immediately throws everything open to them, KLGA really didn't seem to catch on, and that's a failure in how they work.
Ya I don't think London has anywhere near the number of airports and commercial aircraft in the same airspace as metro NYC. Comparing an apple and an orange.
Not so sure about that, Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Stanstead and Luton are all in the vicinity. On top of that there are military areas, military airfields, and a whole load of civil airfields that handle from GA to jets. All of those interfere with Heathrow approach and departure. I wonder what and LHR or JFK controller would say about the other guy's job.
Brent Allan Having flown into and out of LHR quite regularly over the years, I can attest to the fact that the airspace is more than busy. There is constant chatter on the radio and a constant stream of aircraft arriving and departing the airports in the London area. British controllers do a remarkable job.
Nice! Very instructional for us European pilots who rarely get to fly that approach and still might have to at some point ;)
Smoooooth as butter. Well done approach and landing.

This aircraft has a "10x speed" button? I wanna fly This airline!
I'm an Air dispatcher and I like this video 👌
Excellent video, and of the times I've flown back from the UK, they used this approach twice...
Very nice footage!
Never gets old!
Amazing landing!
awesome video thanks.
LOVELY!
Thanks for sharing and I am practicing in MSFS2020 now as an instruction. :P
Thank you, good luck.
Capt. Jack has done this many times!!!
JFK is sensational landing from the sea.
From 0:50 to 2:01 is that aqueduct raceway?
+Riley Dulaney Yes it is.
Hey look, Belt Parkway traffic.
smooooooooooootthhhhh :)
Bara FALLEGT!!!

Are the flashing lights along the highway for the runway or are they just random lights?
Those lights are for the approach. i141.photobucket.com/albums/r43/ryanbatc/o13L.jpg Check Old Mill Creek
+Derrick Snellings There is an extensive string of lead in lights for this approach. They are on during nightime and low visibility conditions.
Is this approach flown at night, and if so, is it flown by navaids or radar vectors ?
First you navigate using the canarsie VOR, then there are visual lead-in lights for the final turn. I believe the approach is used at night as well.
Martin Jacobsen unless you are doing a RNAV approach, in which case you forget about Canarsie.
Yeah you can do this at night.
Why BA is too much ?
Was this s 757?
Yes
High on glide slope and landed long but ok otherwise.

JFK is a nightmare. They should go to London Heathrow and learn how to control aircraft properly.

But if I want to go home to New York, LHR won't really help me.
