Default New York destination recommendations anyone?

We have a VFR corridor over Hudson, so you don't need to talk to NY ATC. If
you are coming from the North, go under 1,500 ft when abeam Alpine Tower on
your right (shrortly after Tapanzee Bridge) and when over GW Bridge, go down
to around 900.


If you aren't familiar with the area, drop down below 1500' where the river
begins to narrow down just south of the Tappan Zee bridge. You will also need to
be below 1100' well above the GWB. Make sure you're down that low when you pass
the northern tip of Manhattan island.

Try not to fly directly over Ellis Island.


Do better than try. Stay over the water.
