ICAO: KJFK IATA: JFK

Description

International airport serving the city of New York, NY, USA.

Climatology

Humid “subtropical” climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) - characterized by hot, humid summers and cool winters. Significant amounts of precipitation occur in all seasons in most areas. Winter rainfall (and sometimes snowfall) is associated with large storms that the westerlies steer from west to east. Most summer rainfall occurs during thunderstorms.

Flight Safety Considerations

• Bird Strike, is common and can be a significant threat to aircraft safety. For smaller aircraft, significant damage may be caused to the aircraft structure and all aircraft, especially jet-engined ones, are vulnerable to the loss of thrust which can follow the ingestion of birds into engine air intakes, which has caused a number of fatal accidents.

• Parallel Runway Operation, need to be carefully managed in such a manner as to minimise the risk of runway incursion or wrong runway use due. Closely-spaced parallel runways may affect the pilots' situational awareness or lead to their distraction or confusion.

• Engineered Materials Arresting System, uses a specially installed surface which quickly stops any aircraft that moves on it and is installed at the end of runways to reduce the extent, and associated risks, of any overrun off the end of a runway

Accidents & Serious Incidents at or in vicinity of KJFK

• A306, vicinity JFK New York USA, 2001 (WAKE HF AW) (On November 12, 2001, an Airbus Industries A300-600 operated by American Airlines crashed into a residential area of Belle Harbour, New York, after take-off from John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York. Shortly after take off, the aircraft encountered mild wake turbulence from a departing Boeing 747-400.)
• A320, vicinity New York JFK NY USA, 2007 (FIRE) (A320 diversion to KJFK after signs of smoke from an overhead locker. The source of the fire was a lithium battery in passenger hand luggage.)
• E145, New York JFK USA, 2007 (AW RE) (On 17 December 2007, an Embraer 145 being operated by Chautauqua Airlines on a Delta Connection passenger flight departing New York JFK runway 31L for an unrecorded destination carried out a high speed rejected take off in normal day visibility when the response to elevator control input at rotation was abnormal.)
• MD11, New York JFK USA, 2003 (RE HF) (MD11 overrun at night following late touchdown)
• SF34, New York JFK USA, 1999 (HF RE) (An SF34 overan New York JFK 04R after an unstabilised ILS approach in IMC was continued to a deep landing at excessive speed and the aircraft overan into the installed EMAS.)
