I remember doing this approach for the first time, I was re creating a real flight that day and luckily LGA was using the park visual approach in real life so I did that. I’m definitely doing it again with the MAX when it comes out. I flew BNA - LGA on that route.

Did you have any waypoints for the approach or not? because this was really well done!

Very fun approach! I was controlling LaGuardia this morning on expert sever, everyone was clueless this approach existed and all entered straight in… shame I wasn’t there when you flew lol

I’ve luckily had the privilege of experiencing this approach in real life twice! So fun!!! Both flights for me were from BNA as well :)

These days, the Expressway Visual has been replaced by the RNAV X and Park Visual approaches. Very similar, but based off RNAV instead of VOR.

Regardless, it’s a fun approach, but I still enjoy the Canarsie Approach more.

BNA is my primary airport (although I have three home airports technically).

Very fun airport to fly around, especially during VFR conditions.

It’s my primary home airport (alongside KMSY & KJAN coming in 2nd and 3rd). I really enjoy flying around KMSY & KBNA! Maybe just bc I’m so familiar with those areas! I enjoy landing/taking off/taxiing in KJAN bc of how accurate everything is. KBNA & KMSY need a scenery update haha. But they all look great still!

I was wondering what the proper name for it is; Several vids on YT say Expressway Visual but Airnav calls it Park Visual. Regardless, a fun and mid-challenging approach!
