Airports

Eddie sez:

JFK can be a challenge depending on the landing runway and most definitely depending on departing traffic. If you get the Canarsie Arrival do yourself a favor and watch of few YouTube videos, just ask for "JFK Canarsie Approach."

Airport Risk Analysis

The airport is very busy and general aviation is a bit of an afterthought. The visual approaches to several of the runways are very demanding. Once you are on the ground, expect long delays to the general aviation ramp and your delays for departure could be worse.

Always remember that Eddie, when you get right down to it, is just a pilot. He tries to give you the facts from the source materials but maybe he got it wrong, maybe he is out of date. Sure, he warns you when he is giving you his personal techniques, but you should always follow your primary guidance (Aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to Eddie.
