| ILS 04 |
04 |
VFR/IFR
26-30 |
- Poor runway configuration, but is used at times due to winds/runway closure or airspace conflictions
- Final spacing is critical due to the distance between the hold line and the runway
- Airspace confliction - if JFK needs ILS 22L/R, this requires LGA to give up the Belmont airspace
- ADR 26-30
|
| ILS 04 |
13 |
VFR
38-40 |
- Good VFR runway configuration
- This configuration can be a problem during MVFR and IFR conditions AAR/IFR 32-34
- Potential Issues:
Headwind tailwind components on final
Typically a strong southwest wind at altitude and strong northeast winds at the surface. This will lower the arrival rate in IFR conditions to 28
- ADR 34-36
|
| ILS 04 |
31 |
VFR
36 |
- One of the least eficient operations. This is due to the distance from the approach/departure ends of the runways to the intersection
- Requires additional final spacing
- ADR 30-32
|
| ILS 13 |
04/13 |
IFR
26-32 |
- This configuration is avoided due to the impacts on other airports in the area. It is typically used when LGA is below minimums on the ILS 4, or when forced by JFK switching to the ILS 13L
- TEB departures are good on either flow
- N90 will timeshare TEB/LGA arrivals to limit the impact on EWR's operations
- If TEB arrivals are light:
Northeast flow - N90 may elect to timeshare them with EWR departures
Southwest flow - N90 may elect to provide gaps in the LGA flow to accomodate the TEB arrivals
- Arrivals need to be grouped and run periodically based on demand and delays, typically every 45-120 minutes
- ADR 28-34

| ILS/LDA 22 |
13 |
VFR
38-44 |
- Optimum Configuration
- Minimal arrival spacing required to get departures out
- ADR 36-40
|
| ILS/LDA 22 |
22 |
VFR/IFR
26-30 |
- Poor runway configuration, but is used at times due to winds/runway closure
- 22 departure SID is an issue
- IFR operation requires additional final spacing
- ADR 26-32
|
| ILS/LDA 22 |
31 |
VFR
38-43 |
- Good runway configuration except for the heavy jet and B757 gaps that are needed
- Large number of heavy jet and B757 departures could back up the arrivals due to arrival spacing requirements
- ADR 36-40
|
| LOC 31 |
04 |
VFR/IFR
36-38 |
- Utilized during high wind conditions and/or low ceilings
- Takes a portion of airspace from the JFK ara and restricts the JFK tower operation to 31's or 13's
- JFK cannot run the simultaneous 31 operation
- JFK 13 departure headings are restricted to 130 degrees and south
- ADR 36-40
|
| Expressway 31 |
04 |
VFR
38-40 |
- Good Configuration
- Potential Issue:
Strong winds could create downwind to base leg compression in the tower's airspace
- ADR 36-40
|
| Expressway 31 |
31 |
VFR/IFR
32-34 |
- Best single runway configuration
- Tower needs to maintain one-for-one operation
- JFK configurations are impacted by this operation
- ADR 28-32
