Out of curiosity, what approach did you use?Just operated into EWR. Other than 2 new divots in the TDZ of 29 everything seemed normal
RNAV WOut of curiosity, what approach did you use?
Oh God. An opinion piece (no paywall) in the WSJ that proposes a system using Starlink, Fortnight, Amazon Web Services, running "on laptops in cockpits," and "By using GPS instead of beacons, cross-country flights can be more of a straight shot, shaving an hour from flight times and using less fuel." My favorite: "Radio communications with pilots can be texts, with voice as an option."
Is he kidding or serious?
Newsflash: Techbros re-invent the city bus, yet again.

Computer scientist here, and these people deserve to be vigorously mocked.They’re the same people who went into “business” in college, because they didn’t have talent for the arts or the brains for math, science or engineering.

RNAV W
We has a neat RNP but that were issuing the W so we just rolled with it
Makes sense. I figured it was just because not everyone has itThe RNP Y goes too far out into the river and has caused issues in the past. Tower hates it. Who were you? I might have worked you in. I was 20.15 from 1230-130L

Just missed you, landed about 1415
Can I assume that when we are on 120.15 for departure over at my shop that no more than 2 scopes are open?The RNP Y goes too far out into the river and has caused issues in the past. Tower hates it. Who were you? I might have worked you in. I was 20.15 from 1230-130L

The RNAV W will be replacing the stadium visual. I like it a lot better but I know some pilots hate it. I even had a delta refuse it because it’s “unsafe” (their word).
I love how he ends it,
"OK, this is a technologist’s plan—fast and cheap. There are lots of caveats, especially about safety, reliability and redundancy. But we can’t wait until 2040 and risk fatalities as today’s system crumbles. Safe travels."
So his solution to aging systems that risk fatalities is to replace them with new technology... that risks fatalities.

Good news! They now have a RNAV to 30 so you don’t have to do an entire 180 degree course reversal.KPWK ILS 16 circle 34.
Better keep it tight…with that tailwind that’s preventing you from landing south…
