Wino:
I know there is a JFK controller here on the thread, and please let him correct me, but I believe JFK is the one airport in the NYC area that can switch runways without effecting the other 3 major airports....
The Canarsie VOR/13L/R does not conflict with LGA. The 13L ILS does if LGA is using 4. I believe LGA has to go to 13 when JFK has to use the 13L ILS.
As to that noise abatement stuff on the ATIS, that was on there in 1964.
When we had the really noisy airplanes, the most severe noise reduction procedure was departing 13R with a right turn over the populated area near the beach.
The controller you refer to would have to comment about 22 operations, but I believe those, too, can conflict with LGA.
And, I did say "more often" in my previous message, which I intended to imply that noise can be a factor, too. Just operating that airport creates a noise problem.
