When landing RWYs 4, 31L/R, or 36, toward which feature should you fly?

• A. The shoreline
• B. The high bridge
• C. The low bridge
• D. The overpass

Answer: (B)

Use the high bridge as your visual reference on final approach. It’s tall and sits on the approach path to runways 4, 31L/R, and 36, giving you a reliable cue to stay aligned with the runway centerline and within the safe obstacle clearance over the water. The shoreline, low bridge, and overpass either lie off the intended approach corridor or pose lower obstacles, making them poor cues for guiding your descent. By flying toward the high bridge, you maintain correct alignment and spacing as you descend to the runway.
