a good website with info on the corridor trip. I have done it several times
and it is quite breathtaking although a bit nervewracking. Good luck and bring a camera if you have a passenger with you. Don't try to take pics while flying down the corridor. Your attention will be required elsewhere. http://www.carneyaviation.com/nyctour/nyctour.htm |

SeeAndAvoid wrote: I'll be flying out of White Plains, NY (HPN) to Allentown, PA (ABE) in early June and would like to fly down the Hudson River to the Statue of Liberty then west. It looks like the Class B and TEB's Class D would allow this at 1000' MSL without any clearance or approval, am I right in this assumption? That's correct. Anyone done in recently, especially after 9/11? I ran the corridor about a month ago. The tops of those bridges look mighty tall, like less than 500' clearance flying below the floor of the Class B. Stay in the middle of the river at 1,000' ASL over the bridges and announce on the common traffic frequency. Stay to the right side of the river everywhere except the bridges. Is this a busy and heavily traveled corridor? It'll be a Saturday. Maybe. It was not busy (except for the choppers down low) the last time I ran it, and it has been less busy in the last few years than before 9/11, but it can still have some traffic on a weekend. You should pick up a NY terminal chart. It has a variety of landmarks not on the sectional. It also has the common traffic frequencies. VFR traffic usually announces at the bridges, the alpine tower, the Intrepid (an aircraft carrier moored in lower Manhattan, the Battery, "the Lady" (Statue of Liberty), and sometimes the two tunnels (which can be seen due to their ventilation system buildings). The sightseeing choppers will usually not announce location but will instead carry on their own private conversations. They tend to stay at or below 500'. Turn *all* your lights on and keep an eye out for traffic coming into the corridor from the New England area about half a mile above where the Harlem river enters the Hudson.

Yes, of course I know I can get it online.

I got mine at one of the FBOs at Danburry (DXR). Sorry, don't remember the name. One on the southwest side of the airport. Did you check with Panorama? I'd have expected them to have it, but never asked. |

I'd also steer folks toward a very nice write-up on flying the corridor, at http://www.germaise.com/interests/av...inghudson1.htm It's a very complete job. Even if you're not going to fly the Hudson Corridor, it's a good read. -Jack "RM" wrote in message . com...

Thanks to everyone for the advice, I'm going to get the NYC Terminal chart
about a month before the trip - looks like a good time. I had a question about the "blue" or "tower cab" route that goes right over LGA: is that a one way deal only? Like I said I'll be coming down from HPN southbound. I had planned to head west to the Hudson and fly right down it. But if I can fly that other route over LGA, Central Park, then down the Hudson, that'd be sweet. Thanks again, Chris |

Panorama doesn't carry them.

You can read about a pair of my Hudson flights at: http://www.gideon.org/andrew/PhotoAlbum/Flying/ The "trip *over*" might be of interest, as I overflew Manhatten and the East River as well as the Hudson. I just wish my passenger had greater facility with his camera sigh. - Andrew |
