Default East River turning radius

NYC's East River is about 2000' wide. So when you approach the north
endpoint of the VFR corridor there, you need to make a U turn with a 1000'
radius (or less if you're not right next to the eastern shore when you start
the turn).


I have flown the Hudson River VFR corridor several times, but only flew the
East River corridor once.

My impression at the time was that a very tight turn is required to go back
south to exit this corridor.
