13 Approach on August 23 ?

It sounds like LDA-A aproach, circle to land 13...you don't really need a separate approach plate for that. You follow the LDA-A approach, but then when you have the runway in sight you land on 13 visually.

I've never even heard of LGA using this approach though...Circling approaches at major airports are extremely rare. I heard them use ILS 13 circle to land 22 once...there was a weather situation at the time. I'm surprised there weren't any go-arounds...

Thanks JHNA57 for reminding me about Passur history.

I use this website at least 2 or 3 times a week. I'm always checking on 22L arrivals that dissapear behind the trees just when I realize they are there. Just check your watch (or cellphone), and look it up later in the day. It's great for those "Damn, I missed it" moments.

I also use it to identify those real high flights where you see the contrail and can just make out the type of plane with the naked eye.

It's not a published apporach , it is one that is rarely used. It was more frequently used years ago. There may have been a published approach . IIRC there once was an NDB at the LGA 2.5 dme along the extended centerline of 4-22 that denoted the point to begin the circling.
