![]() The centre line markings for 11/29 are also in pretty poor condition.A lot of the ground markings are faded so watch out while taxying.The approaches for 04R/22L are not available… probably because the runway is closed.There are a lot of cranes in the area.The RNAV visual for 29 is also unavailable You cannot circle to runway 29 or 11 at night. ![]() The ILS and the LOC/DME procedures for 04L are not available.If you don’t have a suitable GPS equipped RNAV system then you are not gong to be able to fly a fair few arrivals and departures to the airport, or the ILS or VOR DME approaches for runway 11 There are a lot of VORs which have been permanently taken out of service, but many of the arrivals and some of the missed approaches require them.The visual glide slope indicators should not be used as they do not coincide with the ILS of RNAV glide paths So here is a summary of what to look out for, (as of September 15 2021). However, faced with 108 Notams for an airport (especially if you’re not familiar with it), it might be daunting. Nothing can substitute flight planners and pilots reading the Notam packs thoroughly. The construction notice What about the other 107 notams? Well, there are 5 pages, with 108 Notams in total and hidden away on page 4 is Notam 07/045 We had this highlighted to us by a member whose exact words were “Talk about getting lost in the weeds – that’s just crazy.” It is possible your flight planning department / system / whatever you use does present this in a clearer way, but it is also possible it does not. This may well differ to what you would receive in your flight plan pack, we have not included any filters and the layout is a little less user friendly. We downloaded a report straight from the FAA Notam site, and it is here if you would like a look. So, let’s take a look at the Notams you will see for KEWR/Newark should you operate in there today. One of the probable causes the NTSB cited was the pilots mistaking taxiway C for runway 28R because they had overlooked the closure of runway 28L in the Notam report. That was the reported distance between the bottom of the Air Canada aircraft and the tail of a Phillippine Airlines A340 sitting on Taxiway C. By very nearly, we mean avoided it by less than about 14 feet. Does anyone remember AC Flight 759?Īir Canada Flight 759 is the one that, in 2017, very nearly had a very nasty accident at KSFO/San Francisco. Of course, there is a Notam to warn everyone about the closure. The runway was last upgraded in 2012 so this is long overdue, particularly given that it serves 47 percent of the airport’s traffic load. ![]() You can read about that here.īut it is the runway rehabilitation we are most interested in, because it involves runway 04R/22L. ![]() And a general redevelopment program which includes a plan to replace Terminal A, due to be fully finished by 2022. It is also the 6th busiest airport in the US in terms of international traffic, and 15th busiest in general in the country. Whilst JFK airport is the largest, Newark is actually the busiest in terms of number of flights. KEWR/Newark Liberty International is the other, other international airport serving the New York metropolitan area – the busiest airport system in the US – along with KJFK/New York JFK and KLGA/La Guardia. ![]()
