MMATGA2ME99 Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 I picked up some rogue ALS lighting just West of the airport pulsing from SW to NW directly above the Belt Parkway at 40.657043, -73.856825 (Link: Google Maps.) They can only be seen coming in from the S/SW/W, and they do not correspond to a runway. I grabbed a snapshot of the area but only managed to catch one of the pulses.

MMATGA2ME99 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Posted May 16, 2023 Well, that led to some interesting reading and commentary on this approach. You learn something new everyday. I grew up on LI and spent a considerable amount of time around and at JFK but had never noticed these. Thanks https://www.ifr-magazine.com/avionics/charted-visuals/
