Canarsie Approach
JFK is my home airport, and this is the landing from this flight: Madrid 777-300ER Birthday Departure
The Canarsie approach is a circling approach RNAV/VIS into runway 13L at JFK, and is a way for noise pollution for the residents of Brooklyn to be reduced. The approach is similar to the Canarsie Climb, but during the approach, aircraft come and land into the airport instead of outbound 
. IF doesn’t have a great RNAV system, so for landing, it becomes a Visual approach that is backed by GPS waypoints.
Here is the approach plate for the Canarsie:

Bonus Images
These are brand new aviation related memorabilia that I got this week, and coincidentally, they are the aircraft and airport that I used. 
Enjoy the photos
Image 1: Flying over Long Island on the PARCH 3 STAR. It is early morning, and the Long Island sound is visible under our wing. We are almost at the CCC VOR on the STAR.
Image 2: Descending down to 9,000’. We are going to be overflying the extended approach path for the 31s. Below us is now the Atlantic Ocean
Image 3: Right downwind for 13L. The two runways facing us are runway 4L & R. We are descending towards 3,000, which is the altitude of the IAF of Asalt.
Image 4: Beginning our turn into the Canarsie approach. We will be flying over bay onto 13L. Our runway is visible in the back, it is the one with the white trail on the left side of the photo.
Image 5: On right base for 13L. We are at 2000’ feet and still on the autopilot. We are at our FAF, and are currently stable. Our passengers are treated to a wonderful view of JFK with the sun rising.
Image 6: We are almost at runway 13L. The runway is no longer visible to the passengers, but runway 13R is. 13R is used for departures when 13L is being used for the Canarsie Approach.
Image 7: At 200 feet and we are overflying the western part of the airport . Its really cool that we fly over an active taxiway at a busy gateway airport such as JFK.
Image 8: On final, and the passengers finally have a break from all the turning that we experienced during the approach.
Image 9: Touchdown! After 8 hours in the sky, we finally reached JFK. While the landing wasn’t complete butter, any landing, especially on an approach such as the Canarsie, is a good landing. Our landing was -300 FPM.
Image 10: After a long taxi, we reached the American Airlines Terminal (Terminal 8). As we pull into gate 12X, morning really awakes the busy airport.
