I think he might want the ILS approach. I can help on this i am still figuring all the bell and wisle on that topic.

I use ATC to guide me and switch to ILS on final approach I used autopilot approach. and it guided me on to the ILS perfecly. at the last moment I disangage the autopilot cut the engine to min, flared and voila. safely on the ground.

It used to be easy for me before i knew the ifr flight,but now

I am pretty sure Kennedy Airport offers jet fuel. I can give them a call today just to make sure. . . .

Also, in this day and age, if you tried to drop a 747 on NYC VFR , and without clearance, well, you wouldn't get very far.

Yes it is not good to be to confortable with automatic landing systeme. as you sais every time I have a clear approch I land manualy. but at night and in bad weather I feel safe knowing that my ILS will save me from going 6 feet under the runway. Last night the cload where low and it help me find the runway. but a 2000 it cleared so i made the approach.
