At 6:00min you fly over,my neighbor ,Howard Beach..45 yrs of watching both approach and departures of 13L 13R 31L and 31R. Still to this day i can watch every time one of these beauty s flies overhead ...Great Video
I dont think so because Floyd Bennett Field, which is the airfield at the beginning of the video, was used as a staging area for all emergency and recovery agencies and it appears to be empty here.
That's the long-closed Floyd Bennett Naval Air Station at the southern end of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Currently used by NYPD Aviation, and possibly the Coast Guard. The Navy shut it down in 1965 or 66.
LOT6Heavy Kennedy Tower, you are following heavy jet 6 miles ahead, cross wake turbulance, cleared to land runway 13L, 112/14 (wind), VOR or GPS RWY 13 L/R approach at JFK
Can someone please explain if this approach (including landing) is made by autopilot or by the pilot himself? It might sound like a stupid question but i would love to receive an explanation by someone who knows better than me. Thanks
Great question! The autopilot can be used during the approach, as it was in this case. You can actually see the center autopilot master switch turn off on the MCP just after the 1,000' AGL callout is made when the PF disconnects the autopilot (3:08). Now, when it comes to the landing itself, that was done manually. Here's why: first off, there's plenty of visibility, and this approach is a visual... not an instrument approach. No need for an autoland here! If said aircraft has a certified flight crew and the capability (as most modern airliners do), the autopilot CAN land the aircraft. Autopilot systems have either a fail-operational or fail-passive system, with fail-operational having much more redundancy than fail-passive. However, autoland uses an ILS, or Instrument Landing System, to guide the aircraft in during the automatic landing (approach, flare, and even rollout in fail-operational autopilot systems). The system can only bring the aircraft STRAIGHT IN to the runway (no turns), as it just isn't possible to turn/bend the radio waves that the localizer broadcasts outwards from the ground station to guide the aircraft straight in. I tried simplifying it, hope this helps!!
What about CRM in this cockpit? All I hear is the captain in a long blur of Russian and sometimes barking cockpit commands. I don't hear the co-pilot actually participating here. Has CRM not been implemented in Russian aviation?
I can't answer that. I did notice both pilots changing mode control panel (MCP) settings. The MCP is only changed by the pilot not flying at my airline. The pilot flying calls for MCP settings and the PM (pilot monitoring) does them.

Nice flare at the end and perfect sink rate in the last 100 ft. Danced it onto the runway.
Długo czekałem i się opłaciło..... Prosimy więcej :D
I saw Concorde arrive many times onto 13L. It would drop like a stone, nose high over Canarsie- exciting-!
JFK using the 13's is rare. But its an awesome sight!!
That aproach takes you over Floyd bennit field.....
0:27 I love that traffic controller! He has been working there for a while.
I love aviation since I was child but I couldn't be a pilot because of money but flying is most beautiful job
Very nice.
fajnie, bo widać jak załoga pracuje :) like it! :)
Prosimy o więcej. Please more ;-)

:D love his face at 3:19 . . . where IS that damn runway ?!
vor into 13l is difficult. I thought I was doing something wrong when I was following the 041 course
Hey, my airline! :)
Awesome video! What airline is this?
KENNEDY STEVE!!!
Buen video!! aunque un poco de movimiento al final del aterrizaje jeejeje XD
At 5:42 in the video the tower radios the aircraft, LOT 6? heavy
What's the old airfield visible on the approach to JFK? I feel like I've driven by it at the end of Flatbush. Decomissioned airfield?
That's the long-closed Floyd Bennett Naval Air Station at the southern end of Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Currently used by NYPD Aviation, and possibly the Coast Guard. The Navy shut it down in 1965 or 66.
I have NEVER gotten sick.
Callsign - LOT6 heavy :-) definately LOT Polish Airlines.
Is this after hurricane sandy?
Is it just me or do I hear Kennedy Steve?
+Riley Dulaney I thought I heard a familiar voice from the past. I haven't listened to Live ATC JFK in a long time... is he still in the tower ?
+Alan Peterson To be completely honest man, I'm not sure if he is still in the tower.
+Riley Dulaney I think I heard him doing ground the other day
Yea he's still up there
My guess goes for LOT as well....
Gdańsk to czy Golf, bo nie sposób dojrzeć? :)
the united plane behind this LOT 767 almost had to go around (at 3:45) because they were 40 kts faster and couldn't see them!
Funny how when tower tells United "fly heading 040, climb and maintain 2000, and continue", that United can suddenly see these guys.
That would be "caution" wake turbulence.
Kennedy Steve
I have been around the WORLD!!!
This is LOT 6
LOT6Heavy Kennedy Tower, you are following heavy jet 6 miles ahead, cross wake turbulance, cleared to land runway 13L, 112/14 (wind), VOR or GPS RWY 13 L/R approach at JFK
You sure it's not "caution, wake turbulence"?
3:10
Where was this?
Polish LOT

Wow, thanks! Great answer!
Andre Morgan 'Autoland' haha wow. Nice!

Pilots sound polish. I guess LOT
Kuuuuurwa. Co to jest?
