They have been using that more and more recently, before just yesterday.
"NextGEN" technology may make this unusual approach an even rarer event.

Thanks for the info. If you can, please supply the recent dates/times JFK used the ILS 13L Approach. They avoid this like the plague since it interferes greatly with LGA operations.
