Check out:Anyone have any tips for us before we go?
Ummm...in a 172...no. They probably won't have the plans for you until you show up and then figure out what/where the heck they're going to stick you.Thanks everyone for the comments. Does anyone know if we will need a slot time?
tell me that was yer 172 disabled at the end of 4L yesterday?!?! very strange to see a 172 tied down in the runup area in jfk. “everyone departing 4L please use idle thrust when rounding the corner, there is a disabled cessna in the runup block”
Did you see the prop tips on that thing? Someone forgot to put their gear down. It looked like a 182RG to me though.tell me that was yer 172 disabled at the end of 4L yesterday?!?! very strange to see a 172 tied down in the runup area in jfk. “everyone departing 4L please use idle thrust when rounding the corner, there is a disabled cessna in the runup block”
Best advice in this thread. Single-engine Cessnas don't belong at JFK.EDIT: Have the person getting picked up go to a smaller, nearby airport.
Want to win friends at KJFK? Show up in an already overcrowded chaotic situation consisting of heavy metal Congo lines in a C172! I can hear the groans already.My friend called me up and asks if I would fly into KJFK with him in his Skyhawk to pick someone up. Anyone have any tips for us before we go?
