The Captain's hand
Feb 11, 2021

Some experiences in the cockpit need to happen several times for a pilot to learn the lesson, while some only need to happen once. This is definitely a story of the latter. We were approaching LaGuardia on a winter night post-storm and the winds at a medium intensity — 320@17G23, with low-level windshear advisories. We were assigned the Expressway Visual 31, so the winds were lined up mostly down the runway, but still some work to do. I myself was still on probation (most airline pilots are for their first year) and flying with Captain Luukonen, a very senior captain who’d surely done this approach hundreds of times in his career.

Although one of the more uncomfortable ways to travel on an airliner, riding in the jumpseat is a fun privilege to have access to. My favorite jumpseat was always the MD80 or Super 80 when you flew American, which for me was 99% of the time.
