13L was almost always the landing runway since 13R - the long runway, 14,600'- was used for takeoff.

The trick is to just follow the parkway around.

In the fancy plane, the one with FMS, all you had to do was define the end point of the runway and use the 300 feet per mile rule. The problem in real life is that JFK gets scud (low clouds and fog) in the afternoon so even if the tower vis was 3 miles or so the areas on the approach could have some low clouds mixed in. This was a real fun approach in the 727 and 707. The Glass planes (sissy) made it very easy.

Another fun approach was the Expressway Visual to RW 31 at KLGA. No lights for help here, but you passed on from brave to brave little check points to make the approach go better. This was great fun in the 727, but really fun in the 767 or I'm told the 1011!

Another fun approach is the dual ILS/Visuals to runway 28L/R in KSFO. The runways are only a few hundred feet apart and you would often have two good size planes doing the approach at the same time. They would stagger the planes just a bit and admonish you not to pass the other plane. This was fun with a 747 and 767-300 at the same time. http://www.fltplan.com/AwDisplayAppChart.exe?CRN10=1&CARRYUNAME=PILOT&DEPTARPT=KSFO&ARRARPT=XPTG&TYPECHART=00375QUIETBRIDGE_VIS28LR.PDF&END=END&WINDOW=YES
