KDEN - KLGA |

Posted by cortelyounext on Mon Feb 2 19:38:54 2026 For those of you familiar with The City of New York you will be able to easily discern the landmarks in the linked footage while the rest of you can try to pick out the obvious (Hint: The footage begins adjacent to the Battery/South Ferry). The pilots tell me they enjoy flying the LGA 22 night arrivals over the Hudson River. I was on this flight but was sitting backwards staring straight ahead at the bulkhead directly in front of my face so I don't know anything about that.Coming Up the River |

You started at 3:50 hoping people wouldn't start from the beginning where you're flying through a blizzard.But I did go to the beginning and did see the real dangers faced before the breath taking views. What do you think of the "LGA visual approach". |

But I did go to the beginning and did see the real dangers faced before the breath taking views. What do you think of the "LGA visual approach".It serves no purpose to frighten people. I have stated my case more than once that taking a car or train or bus or boat are the only sensible and safe transportation options no matter when or where you are going or how much time and money you have in "the bank". At this point, my pleas fall on deaf ears so I am wasting my time. That is why I began the link where I began it, and now you know the rest of the story. I'd probably enjoy the LGA Expressway Visual 31 if I could actually see it never mind perform it but again, I am sitting backwards in front of a galley or bulkhead staring out into nowhere, praying. |

I should note, even though many if not most pilots still refer to the approach as the Expressway Visual 31, it has recently been replaced by the Park Visual 31 with the nomenclature meaning Corona. The approach paths are fairly similar to the point of being almost identical. The reason for the change was to provide more precise guidance; that is, since the Park Visual 31 also refers to the RNAV (GPS) X 31 approach, you follow published waypoint fixes, typically along the lateral (LNAV) and vertical (VNAV) paths, at least in my company. This effectively allows for the non-precision approach to be flown as a precision approach, at least that's what those pilots tell me.Anyway, many of the waypoint fixes are identified by the relationship to the 1986 World Series Champion New York Mets. By the way, with rare exceptions, waypoints fixes are identified by five letters. Look closely at the charted approach and you'll find the following: SHAYY = Shea Stadium GACAR = Gary Carter DRRYL = Darryl Strawberry KEYTH = Keith Hernandez DCTRK = Doc Gooden (Dr. K) GGREG = Maybe Gregg Jefferies? |
