Due to the volume and complexity of air traffic flows in the New York and Connecticut areas, it is a common occurrence for arrival aircraft to be vectored into New York Class Bravo (B) airspace and then out again. Geographical vicinities where pilots can expect to be vectored outside the Class B once they have been in it, and where pilots can expect to observe large numbers of commercial and corporate aircraft, include, but are not limited to, the following:

LaGuardia Airport:

1. The ILS RWY 13 Approach, northwest of Teterboro Airport, below Class B at 2,000 feet.

2. RWY 22, northeast of Westchester County Airport, at 3,000 feet.

3. Localizer RWY 31, east of LaGuardia at 2,000 feet.

 John F. Kennedy International Airport:

 1. RWY's 4L/R ,south of the airport and east of Colt's Neck VOR (COL), at 3,000 feet and 4,000 feet.

 2. RWY's 13L/R, south of the airport and east of COL, at 3,000 feet and 4,000 feet.

 3. RWY's 22L/R, northeast of the airport and southeast of Deer Park VOR, below Class B at 3,000 feet through the Farmingdale cut-out, and northeast of the airport below Class B at 2,000 feet.

 4. On RWY's 31 L/R, south east of the airport at 3,000 feet and 4,000 feet.

 All pilots should be aware that alertness and situational awareness should be maintained at all times.

 Traffic Advisory Service will be provided to the extent that traffic and workload permit to those pilots flying in proximity to Class B Airspace. Pilots are encouraged to avail themselves of this service by contacting the appropriate ATC facility to make known their position and altitude.
