5 Hours on Newark Initial Approach! - IFATC TImelapse

Hey y’all, been a while!

Thought I would come back with a super busy session on Newark Initial Approach. This session started off with a lot of chaos, but it gradually got reined in with the help of my amazing fellow controllers on New York Center and Newark Final Approach. I ended this session with over 3000 operations - and a big headache!

This is also a special video for me, as it includes an original song I made! Hope y’all enjoy the video and the music :)

Impressive work with all that traffic coming in, felt a little sorry whenever one came down from the north and traveled halfway down the screen to enter that sequence lol.

Excellent video and music! Definitely relaxing tbh (it’s 1:30 AM rn so the vibes were strong)

@JAR!! When I saw you do this session, I had a feeling that a video was coming. That is extraordinary work! When I first started watching your videos, I was in local trainer, and now I am in radar training. Seeing these radar videos are such a motivation, keep up the good work!

Thank you Ben!! :smiley:

Thanks! Yeah, it was definitely quite a ride for those poor guys, only so much I can do with that much traffic though, haha. And really glad you enjoyed the music too :slight_smile:

Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed the flight!!

It’s been a while since I got one out, figured it was about time :wink:
Really awesome to hear that these videos helped you pursue the Officer rank, best of luck to you in training!

Thanks for the excellent work on Tower down there, the pleasure was all mine!

There I am Gary, there I am

Thanks for the service and awesome timelapse! Did a great job controlling with such a busy airspace, basically almost flew down to Philly with how long the line was! Doing a short regional flight was fun since like, 80% of my flight was just the approach haha. Great stuff!

Ended up working out since you sent me and a few other guys over to 22R instead of L. Ended up getting a parallel landing out of it!

Thanks again!
