online.com... Along the Hudson corridor, though, I think they want you in Class B for advisories. I'm afraid I don't understand. When someone writes "the Hudson corridor", he or she is usually referring to the "exclusion zone" in which people can fly within - but not in - the class B. I have flown *over* the corridor while speaking to ATC (LGA tower, mostly). Is that what you mean? Yup, sorry I stated it confusingly. The times I've approached the Hudson with flight following, intending to fly in the Class E corridor, ATC cleared me up into the Class B. When I replied that I'd rather stay below (for a better view), they terminated services. I assume that's either because the exclusion zone is too low for radar coverage, or else because it has too much traffic for them to issue advisories there. --Gary |

I'm not sure about the coverage, but can definitely see the problem issuing advisories for that (as Roy calls it {8^) zoo. I've never tried this myself, as - if I'm going to be in the zoo - I'd rather be on the same frequency as all the other animals laugh. - Andrew |

If you're transiting the Class B east-west, NY Approach will often hand you off to LGA Tower, and tower will bring you right over the top of the airport at 1500. They'll tell you to fly directly over the runway intersection. Heading west, LGA Tower will sometimes give you back to NY Approach, or sometimes just hand you off directly to TEB Tower as you cross the Hudson. It seems strange the first time, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Right over the top of the airport, all the traffic is at ground level, safely below you. You get some good sight-seeing in too! I understand that. My usual route from CDW to points south passes over EWR. I'm a little surprised at the altitude, though. I've not looked at the approach plates, but I'd have guessed that JFK's approaches from the north would be an issue. - Andrew |
