DESTINATION - NYC HUDSON RIVER CORRIDOR

4/22/2021

0 Comments

 
Every pilot has a bucket list slightly different than others, but what if you could show people you flew under the skyline of New York City? Well, you can!

New York’s airspace is one of the busiest in the world, but offers such a great experience for those that go on this adventure. The FAA has a downloadable kneeboard reference guide to lay out all of the requirements for the flight.

As you fly northward on the eastern side of the Hudson River, you will call out each landmark as you pass it while stating your flight’s information. Below is an example:

"Cessna, Statue of Liberty, 1,000 feet, Northbound."

You must state your aircraft type, the checkpoint, your altitude, and North/Southbound (whichever way you are headed). As you get to the Alpine Tower, you must turn Southbound and head back down the Hudson River.

The entire trip would take 30 mins including departure and landing from Teterboro Airport, NJ (TEB). If you departure from Boston commute to NYC and take a tour along the way, it would take two hours one way. 


Sights Include:
  • Statue of Liberty
  • Ellis Island
  • One World Trade Center
  • 9/11 Memorial Site
  • Brooklyn Bridge
  • Battery Park
  • Wall Street
  • Empire State Building
  • Chrysler Building
  • Madison Square Garden
  • U.S.S. Intrepid Museum
  • Times Square
  • Central Park
  • Columbia University
  • Grant’s Tomb
  • George Washington Bridge (GWB)
  • Harlem and Harlem River
  • The Bronx and Yankee Stadium
  • Palisades Cliffs
  • Spuyten Duyvil Bridge
  • Plus
    • Verrazano Bridge (VB)
    • Staten Island
