Just south of the George Washington Bridge 'The GW' you'll get a vector for base.
Kennedy has te Wonderfull VOR/DME 22L (the Canarsie curve..) IIRC AN Emirates 380 grazed the employee parking lot after misunderstanding the procedure last year and LGA the Expressway Visual. Aside from Kai Tak (RIP) and the River Visual into DC; the most fun you can have at work...
You're right. I was thinking of LGA. Those approaches are really fun. River visual into DCA, Canarsie into JFK and the Expressway visual into LGA (bonus points if you get the steam from that factory as you're rolling out on final). Quite fun to turn everything off, look outside and fly. I hadn't heard about EK screwing up the CRI app. What happened there?
