Narrative:
Followed a B757 by 7-8 mi. After landing, he reported windshear 10 KTS at 200 ft, 15 KTS at 100 ft. We lost 3-5 KTS at 200 ft and at 100 ft lost about 10 KTS. At this time with the crosswind, wet runway, and windshear, I executed a missed approach. Upon our missed approach, tower changed runways and approach set us up for the localizer runway 31. On downwind for this approach, I informed approach that if we did not land we would be declaring minimum fuel and vectors to jfk. On this approach, experienced heavy snow had ground contact but did not see the runway. I then declared minimum fuel and vectors to jfk. Landed jfk with approximately 3200 pounds of fuel at gate.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ACR DECLARES MINIMUM FUEL AT LGA AND DIVERTS TO JFK AFTER 2 MISSED APCHS ACCOUNT WINDSHEAR AND SNOW.
Narrative: FOLLOWED A B757 BY 7-8 MI. AFTER LNDG, HE RPTED WINDSHEAR 10 KTS AT 200 FT, 15 KTS AT 100 FT. WE LOST 3-5 KTS AT 200 FT AND AT 100 FT LOST ABOUT 10 KTS. AT THIS TIME WITH THE XWIND, WET RWY, AND WINDSHEAR, I EXECUTED A MISSED APCH. UPON OUR MISSED APCH, TWR CHANGED RWYS AND APCH SET US UP FOR THE LOC RWY 31. ON DOWNWIND FOR THIS APCH, I INFORMED APCH THAT IF WE DID NOT LAND WE WOULD BE DECLARING MINIMUM FUEL AND VECTORS TO JFK. ON THIS APCH, EXPERIENCED HVY SNOW HAD GND CONTACT BUT DID NOT SEE THE RWY. I THEN DECLARED MINIMUM FUEL AND VECTORS TO JFK. LANDED JFK WITH APPROX 3200 LBS OF FUEL AT GATE.
