Hey, as someone who grew up in Queens(up until 10 yrs old I was under the extended rwy centerline of RWY 4!), LGA is definitely one of the reasons for my pursuing piloting(along with Air Jamaica, buts that's another story).

Let me ask, when a flight crew is paired to LGA and both have never been on the Expressway Visual, are those landmarks easy to figure out? I mean, I have seen those airplanes make that turn over Shea 100s of times, and it seems very precise, but I would think that if you've never done it it might be hard to figure out for the first time at 140 plus knots. Is this programmed in the FMS?

And Bob what did you do? And what type A/C do you fly?
