JFK has a few issues at present ( more than usual ).

with 13L shut for resurfacing ( ?), they seems keen not to use the remaining 13R if they can get maximum value out of 04L/R or the other end. Means we can encounter a fair old crosswind and or a quartering tailwind .

And they are not that long either. 22R is well displaced giving about 2300m landing distance and has an offset localiser.
22L is very slightly longer . Even at normal weights we are up the top end of the autobrake scale .

it was interesting to see both BA 777 and VA 747 can make the first Hs turnoff on 22L, I guess that’s the advantage of more wheels = more brakes
