LGA
arrivals from the south follow a path that lies approximately 4 nautical
miles to the east of EWR airport.
Departing flights off EWR's runway 22 using a depature heading of less
than 190 degrees would be flying directly at the LGA arrival stream. This results in an unsafe operation. |

Use
RNAV procedures for both TEB arrivals to Runway 6 and EWR departures in
conjunction with reductions in required separations to augment the
availability of fanned headings. |
Areas
north and northwest of EWR |
fail |
Increased use of RNAV procedures at TEB is included
in the preferred alternative. Apart from permitting expanded use
of headings off runway 04L, this
removes the contention for airspace
between arrivals to TEB and arrivals to EWR runway 11. |

Shore/Sandy Hook |

Unfortunately, this design is not possible. The airspace along the coast is tightly
constrained on the east by the Warning
Areas used by the Department of Defense. Civilian traffic may not use this airspace
without coordination to make sure
that no military missions are planning to fly there. Just west of the
Warning Areas are the JFK arrival
routes. Descending northbound
traffic and climbing southbound traffic would be unmanageably complex
without even longer delays than JFK
is currently expecting. |
