This means that the majority of the long left turn (from 089 track to 314 track), to line up with the runway, is hand flown.
Is that the successor to the Expressway Visual 31? When I used to fly jumpseat into LGA, we had a contest in the cockpit (727) on who had the "tanks" first. Sadly, no more tanks...
