Havik, the expressway visual into LGA, just like the river visual into Regan and the Canasty into JFK are instrument approaches with a visual tracking segment, they aren’t unique to the US, but typically how they are flown differs a lot from operator to operator. In the case of incident mentioned, based on what the air circus astronauts go into print about....a visual approach can be commenced at the end of a STAR...seems counterintuitive to me...but it ain’t Cessna flying.
