Amen to that

Hazy but still interesting. Gives you a feel for the area unlike a map.

@M Detlef and you couldn't have been more of a dbag guy...stop being a butt with lips

The biggest fucking superb in the world........

I was a stewardess many years ago based at LGA and i lived in Manhattan and then Queens for a bit across the freeway from the airport. Those planes were so low over my back patio it felt like you could wave to the pilots and they'd see you. Plenty loud too!

So you remember making the "Taystee Bread turn?," where those buildings are now? ;-)

Born and raised in San Diego here and the ones who are in charge of that parking garage refused and still do to relocate and tear down that stupid garage

I thought that garage was in San Francisco? Opsie.....oh that's right, that view is old Hong Kong lol.

@@gasaholic47 What is with you and that taystee bread turn?

Mondo Duke I miss the smell of fresh bread on my way to work back in the mid and late 80’s as I traveled the Van Wyck. You got a problem with that?

Check out Pilot's Eye. They do the best videos.

Easier to fly into lga. Everything is right there. Kennedy is a nightmare. Too big.

can the pilots see the labels?

Ken Pryor z

3:02 - onscreen label reminded me of "Remember Focker, in my house, it's my way, or the Long Island expressway"

In the not to distant future we'll be able to wear a VR headset with dual 4K Screens that will allow us to see what the pilot sees and actually experience the thrill of flying.

@@bobanderson2895 I would love that,,I always wondered how it would feel to be in the cockpit during landing and taking off 😊

bongo7654 Only to compensate for outdated airports designed when airspace constraints weren't an issue. DCA is arguably worse.

I am Uruguayan, i flew through LGA only once in 2008. The landing was spectacular -the last mile over water is unique, you don't see the runway till the last second.

I met your mother in rehab. I truly appreciated her.

Congrats on the retirement. I am 3 years out. You'll always remember and reminisce about this.

I caught that too.

@@kbrobin2464, me too. Did you also wonder why the cockpit computer voice called the pilot a retard? Lol

Yes, those buildings way too close for anyone on the plane or in those buildings to feel comfortable. Also, the computer shouldn't call anyone a retard. Lol lol

@@alvexok5523 IF I recall correct, and I could very well not be remembering correctly, that is the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System?) - telling the pilot to bring the engine throttles to idle.

Lol,,that was funny, I would hope so too!!

DCA is even more intense in my opinion, especially when there’s a crosswind.

Sydney Dudikoff When the paycheck and enjoyment aren’t worth their while, they’ll stop.

I know this might sound crazy but a landing is considered nothing more then a controlled crsah. Been flying flight simulators since the first FS 98 came out and I can't give enough credit to real pilots, especially in bad weather where they really earn there money. I can't stress enough how fast things happen on landing and takeoff. Great flying by the crew.

ATC has pre planned paths for the ILS. It's like following a dotted line in the air.

one word ILS

@@roblaa3198 Yeah, the ILS is such a wonderful tool to use but sadly enough too many pilots are getting use to using the Instrument Laanding System that they barley have any knowledge of how to land manually for example that one episode they just showed recently of Air Disaster on the Simthsoian Chan where the captain out of all people flying a new model heavy for a short while never landed manuely at any airport, only relied on the ILS and when he was vectored to do a DME Visual approach he panicked and crashed the brand new craft killing many. The protocols have to change, we can't just rely on technology and computers as much as the training has changed.

@@williamrodriquez4661 ikr it's a frightening thought mate it should be mandatory to land manually in good conditions I think to keep the pilots on there toes

Was this a training flight do you think?

No, I would guess it was an average crew on an average day. In order to feel comfortable enough to trust the flying pilot, while the non-flying pilot films any approach, and especially this approach, you would not want to be training someone new to the airplane or new to their position. Not to mention, you need to trust the other pilot to not narc on you for filming whilst flying. 😉

@@JHollidayB yes, this was just 2 line pilots on an average day. No training or OE

Oh good, I wasn't the only one

Lol. Don't worry.. it's normal

Same!

Final base turn that is much like landing on an aircraft carrier! For that reason pilots sometimes call the airport the USS LaGuardia

Try doing it a night, then you’ll really be saying that

Yes, it liked that too. It was filmed from the cockpit. If actually there, the views would be so great compared to normal window views throughout the rest of the aircraft. There are usually 4 cockpit windows attached together and around the nose of the aircraft. Each of them are rectangular shaped and each of them are about 3 times the size of each little oval window by the passengers' window seats. Much less wall space between the 4 cockpit windows then between each little oval window. The views must really be amazing there

Smooondros Gaming Sick? Not sick, great.

Even better is if they're doing a straight-in 4 approach. I can see them from Elmhurst Hospital on final approach.

What you flew there?

I look forward to seeing more. I just happened upon this and I'm sure glad I did! And to think that ANYONE would have ever expected that Captain "Sully" Sullenberger could have flown Flight 1549 back to the airport without any thrust is completely nuts! Your video clearly reveals the reality of (flight over NYC) and helps disprove that ridiculous notion.

Nice

Chris Greenhouse excellent video, The best expressway video to 31

800k bro nice

@@niklasritter1 I couldn't be happier. This greatly exceeded my expectations

Okieman Mike imm1959,,I was at the BROOKLYN YMCA TRADE SCHOOL, and the flights to KLGA flew right overhead, most were LOCKEED L188 Electra. Cheers from zNJ

It was definitely hazy.

Not sure what fo is, but one would think lead in lights if that means what it sounds like, would be standard requirement?

Makinja FO means First Officer or the right side of the aircraft. There are no requirements for runway lighting, however the more lighting a runway has dictates what type of approach and minimums that can be utilized for that runway. This is why the The Expressway Visual is only a visual approach because it doesn’t meet specific criteria to make it more of a precision approach

My full respect to you, Captain, for the piloting skill needed here. I've been passenger on a number of tight landings, each with its own unique features. This approach is up there in the top tier.

in other words LGA is a accident waiting to happen?

That's the reason why they call it the expressway visual, because the flight path follows the Long Island Expressway into Queens, and then a hard left, right after Citi Field.. which ends in one of the hardest Runways. @ around 7000 feet or so.. that's why as soon as the wheels hit the tarmac they slam on the reverses! And you get thrown to the seat in front of you!
