but we can't do it now we, we, don't, we run out of fuel now." A handoff controller listening in on the conversation called the New York Terminal Radar Approach Control (NY TRACON) at 20:46:24 and advised the TRACON controller that Avianca Flight 052 could only hold for five more minutes. The handoff controller asked whether NY TRACON could take the flight or whether to send Avianca to its alternate airport. The NY TRACON controller replied, "Slow him to one eight zero knots and I'll take him." The handoff controller later testified that he had not heard Flight 052 say that they could no longer reach their alternate airport. At 20:46:47, the NY ARTCC radar controller cleared the flight to proceed to JFK at and to slow to . Flight 052 departed the CAMRN holding pattern at 20:47. Landing attempt At 20:47:27, the NY TRACON feeder controller told the flight crew to "expect an ILS two two left" "altimeter two niner six niner proceed direct Deer Park." At 20:54:40, the feeder controller directed Flight 052 to make a 360° turn. At 20:56:16, the controller gave the flight a wind shear advisory of an "increase of 10 knots at 1500 feet and then an increase of 10 knots at 500 feet." The flight crew acknowledged the advisory. At 21:00, JFK was experiencing light drizzle and fog with mile visibility, an indefinite ceiling with obscured, and a wind of at 190°. At 21:03:07, Flight 052 contacted the NY TRACON final controller, who cleared them to descend progressively to . At 21:03:46, the flight crew discussed the go-around procedures. At 21:09:29, flight engineer Moyano stated that the controllers "already know that we are in [a] bad condition." The captain said, "No they are descending us," and the second officer added, "They are giving us priority." At 21:11:07, the NY TRACON final vector controller informed the flight that they were 15 miles from the outer marker and instructed them to maintain an altitude of "until established on the localizer." The flight crew began preparing for an instrument landing approach, extending flaps and discussing the appropriate airspeed. The final controller instructed the flight crew to contact the JFK tower controllers and signed off. Klotz acknowledged the transmission. At 21:15:19, Klotz contacted the tower controllers and informed that Flight 052 was "established two two left." One minute later, the captain asked if he should lower the
