Simple points for the Canarsie

For 13R MAP at 930 ft, 3 degree glide slope 3.1 NM to the rwy

For 13L MAP at 1200 ft, 3 degree glide slope 4.1 NM to the rwy

I've used this as targets for years and it works, and helps break the code for new guys. Dropping down to the MDA of 800 feet compounds the problem. It is a rare occurance that this approach is assigned with less than 1200 and better than 3 miles.

And as mentioned earlier the wind is usually off the water. This creats the right quartering tail wind until turning final for either runway.

Use and enjoy!
