Same with the river visual into DC or express way visual into LGA. Once you’ve done it a few times it isn’t hard. I think that’s the issue here. Most pilots flying up there haven’t ever done it before.

I think it’s more of a liability thing. That way when the captain runs one off into the EMAS they can tell the insurers and the FAA they tried everything they could to avoid this.
