How could the guys at JFK plan their SID/STAR so that take-off is available from rwy 13, and landings on 22?

Question

i mean, these perpendicular routes cannot go well (as we have seen in the last weeks).. If one takes off from 13R, and another goes around on 22L/R at the same moment, you have the problem. This is not the safest way to handle this..

Answer 1

JFK is usually set up like this with light southerly winds - main takeoff runway is 13R, main landing rwy 13L (from VOR 13L aka Canarsie approach), secondary landing rwy 22L.  Aircraft arriving from the north-east (Europe and New England mostly) get 22L, everyone else lands on 13L.  When aircraft are spaced properly it works fine - a go around off 22L does not interfere with anyone, as long as no one is taking off on 13R at this very moment - and no one should.   This pattern increases the number of landings JFK can handle - I have landed like this dozens of times with no unsafe situations.  But as with everything, if someone makes a mistake, things can get ugly very quickly.

JFK is not unique in this fashion - most busy US airports with intersecting runways (ORD, LGA, STL, PHL, BOS etc) routinely use simultaneous operations on intersecting runways.  Same with airports with closely spaced parallel runways like EWR.  Sadly, it is an only way to service our air traffic with the overburdened, often obsolete airports we have in the US.

Answer 2

Have the Rwy 13R aircraft turn right after takeoff, and have the Rwy 22 aircraft miss  or go around with a turn left.
