<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Airports


<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />

Terminal/Airport/<strong>Airspace</strong> Issues<br />

• Each Airport has varying arrival and departure rates which<br />

are usually determined by weather conditions.<br />

• Close proximity of numerous airports adds to the<br />

complexity. Airport configurations must not conflict.<br />

• All aircraft arriving and departing must use one of the<br />

established arrival and departure “gates”.<br />

• Restrictions from <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Center and the adjacent<br />

enroute centers are common due to the volume of flights in<br />

the Northeast.

EWR Airport Diagram


EWR Operational Details<br />

• In the afternoon, EWR needs the “overflow” runway to<br />

accommodate the arrival demand (If they don’t have the<br />

overflow runway available you will typically see a Ground<br />

Delay Program or Ground Stop in the afternoon)<br />

• The requirements vary slightly however typically they need<br />

at least ceilings of 2500 feet or better and visibility of 5 miles<br />

or greater to run the Runway 11 arrivals<br />

• When the overflow runway is not available the best arrival<br />

rate is 38-42 depending on the fleet mix (IFR conditions will<br />

drop the rate to 36-38 with LIFR conditions dropping the rate<br />

to 28-32).


<strong>New</strong>ark Arrival Demand


TEB Airport Diagram


TEB Operational details<br />

• Standard Arrival/Departure rate is 24 per hour.<br />

• Greatest impact to arrivals occurs when the airport is on a<br />

Northeast flow (TEB is using the ILS to Runway 06 and EWR is<br />

running arrivals into Runway 11). This configuration can drop the<br />

arrival rate to 18-20 and typically occurs during the afternoon/early<br />

evening hours.<br />

• When EWR is not running approaches to Runway 11 we have seen<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> TRACON deliver 30-35 arrivals at TEB.<br />

• On the NE configuration there are limited options to alleviate the<br />

constraints. We will occasionally see EWR utilize visual<br />

approaches to Rwy 4L (limiting the number of arrivals into Rwy<br />

11).<br />

• Departure delays are common during certain days/times due to<br />

excess volume (I.E. Thursday afternoons typically see excess<br />

departure demand).


MMU Airport Diagram


MMU Operational details<br />

• Departure/Arrival demand rarely exceeds 15/20 aircraft per<br />

hour.<br />

• Greatest impact occurs on a Southwest flow when MMU is<br />

departing Runway 23 and EWR is running arrivals into<br />

Runway 11. There is less impact when departing Runway<br />

05 at MMU.<br />

• The Morristown Five Departure mandates a turn to<br />

heading 160 which creates conflict with the EWR Runway<br />

11 arrivals (<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> TRACON is working with the area<br />

to issue alternate headings when possible as well as<br />

establishing an RNAV departure that deconflicts the MMU<br />

departures with the EWR arrivals).

HPN Airport Diagram


HPN Operational details<br />

• Standard Arrival/Departure rate is 28 per hour.<br />

• Interacts with LGA arrival/departure flows<br />

• Commonly is the first airport in the NY area to go below<br />

user minimums due to the airport location<br />

• The major challenge at HPN is managing the departure<br />

flows due to the airport’s location on the north side of the<br />

NY TRACON airspace (greatest impact is typically flights<br />

over the west and south departure gates).

LGA Airport Diagram


LGA Operational Details<br />

• Slot Controlled Airport.<br />

• Generally must be on the same configuration as JFK.<br />

• Standard arrival rate between 38 and 42<br />

• Scheduled to capacity throughout the day therefore usually<br />

in a Ground Delay Program if under delivery occurs.


JFK Airport Diagram


JFK Operational Details<br />

• Close Proximity to LGA usually mandates they run similar<br />

configuration.<br />

• Arrival/Departure rates vary through the day depending on<br />

arrival/departure demand (after 1630 local they drop the<br />

arrival rate and favor departures).<br />

• Departure delays are common in the afternoon due to<br />

departure volume.


JFK Arrival/Departure Demand


FRG Airport Diagram


FRG Operational Details<br />

• Departure/Arrival demand rarely exceeds 15/20 aircraft per<br />

hour.<br />

• In general uses the same arrival/departure flows as JFK.<br />

• ILS Runway14 approach conflicts with the JFK ILS<br />

22R/22L approach. FRG arrivals typically go into holding<br />

when this conflict occurs until they can find a “hole” in the<br />

JFK arrival flow.<br />

• Departure delays are possible due to the location of the<br />

airport and the interaction with JFK departures.


<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Departure Gates


<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Departure Procedures<br />

• All flights out of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> must utilize one of the<br />

numerous departure gates established.<br />

• The majority of the airports in NY TRACON airspace<br />

share the same departure gates.<br />

• Throughout the day volume over these departure gates<br />

fluctuate with certain gates seeing excess volume (i.e.<br />

WHITE southbound is commonly backed up during the<br />

winter months due to traffic departing for Florida and other<br />

warm weather destinations).<br />

• During severe weather season it is common for<br />

thunderstorms to close the departure gates as weather<br />

moves in/around the NY airspace.<br />

• Required reroutes out of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> are possible due to<br />

weather and volume.


<strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Departure Procedures (continued)<br />

• Typically it is suggested not to re-file with an amended<br />

route if you are within 45 minutes of your “filed” departure<br />

time. (Within the 45 minute window ATC will handle the<br />

reroute).<br />

• Due to weather and volume issues in the Northeast it is<br />

common for the adjacent Enroute facilities to push back<br />

MIT (mile in trail) and MINIT (minute in trail) restrictions<br />

to the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> airports.
