an experimental lowwing aircraft entered the JFK TCA without permission The tower sent around EVA638 and NYPD15 quickly appeared on scene to try to ID and make contact with the experimental. There was some vectored chasing from JFK tower and eventually the aircraft left the TCA to the ENE with PD15 on his tail. They entered into the ROBER sector (125.7) where PD15 eventually made contact with the aircraft. The aircraft, experimental N5025G, was directed by PD15 to FRG where it made a landing around 1715z. PD15 followed the aircraft right down the runways and taxiways so he'd be sure to be able to "get some info."

“A retired Navy pilot flying his homebuilt plane from Virginia to Long Island made a wrong turn along the way, leaving him smack in the middle of Kennedy Airport’s bustling airspace and perilously close to an inbound 747, according to a New York Post report.

After flying north up the Jersey shore, 69yearold John Prendergast planned to turn northeast over the Atlantic to Robert Moses State Park, where he would turn back to the northwest towards Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale. It seems, however, that he made his northwest turn too soon, over Long Beach, leading him straight into JFK airspace.

While circling over the eastern end of the field for some time – without ever making radio contact with controllers – at one point Prendergast was directly in the path of an EVA Air 747 inbound from Atlanta. Eventually an NYPD chopper was able to contact him on an emergency frequency and escorted him to his intended destination of Republic Airport (FRG) in Farmingdale. “I don’t know what he’s doing – he’s going everywhere,” said one controller, warning traffic that there was an “unknown aircraft” in the area.

Prendergast was flying an experimental Vans RV7A, registration N5025G, a twoseat, Mazdapowered aircraft he built himself, according to FAA records.

The FAA says it is investigating, but so far Mr. Prendergast has not yet been charged with any offense.”
