A little inspiration....
For those of you with broadband, have a look at this. It's a video of an approach to 13L at JFK at night, using the Canarsie VOR procedure. Turn it up - the Vangelis music really suits the visuals. Kind of reminds me why I love my job!
For you Flight Sim enthusiasts, this procedure (particularly on to 13R, and with a crosswind from the right) is considerably more challenging than the old IGS at Hong Kong's Kai Tak. Unfortunately, we can't fly the 13L procedure at night at the moment, 'cos some ****'s gone and ripped up the power supply to the lighting!

Just what the doctor ordered.
Thanks for that,
I'm just doing my last ATPL theory exam next month and that was just what the doctor ordered to get me over this last hurdle to complete the 14, and get on with the real stuff and make that school boy dream that little bit closer.
A little bit of inspriation like that can go along way, very apt indeed.
Thank you once more for bringing that to us.

Any idea what the a/c flying the approach/landing was?
