Re: JFK 22s 2 Close 2nite
Its amazing what odd things you'll see out of the ordinary over time.
A few years back I was over by Canarsie Pier watching JFK inbounds on the Canarsie approach. Suddenly one heavy comes right behind another ..maybe not quite 30 seconds later. Never seen this before. Ultimately I believe one went 13L and the other 13R, but still....

The 22 and 13 config is one of the most dangerous runway configurations in the nation...people don't realize how many close calls there are when JFK is using 22L and 13L
Re: JFK 22s 2 Close 2nite
For a short period last night they were arriving on both 22L and 22R. They were bringing in the AC going to 22R at about 1000 feet higher then 22L. So what you did see was 2 very close AC but separated by 1000" in altitude. There was even one or two that crossed paths only separated by 1000" over by carle place.

That could have been the one that I saw as Carle Place is just west of Hicksville.
I went out with my dogs last night at 9:30 and they were still utilizing R22.
Thanks for the reply.

You should check out the 11/22L and 29/4R operations at EWR.... even worse

Yes, and yes.
