KJRB is the Downtown Manhattan/Wall St Heliport in New York, New York. Field elevation is 7 ft MSL. No runways are listed. This is a heliport, so plan for helicopter operations rather than fixed-wing runway use. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use 1,000 ft AGL only as a standard assumption if you need a reference. Then verify the current Chart Supplement before flight.

The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. New York Approach handles clearance delivery on 516-683-2849. Published remarks matter here. Two-way radio communication is required. No flights or approaches are permitted over FDR Drive. Birds are reported on and near the heliport. Boats may also move in the water along the heliport pier. Keep a sharp lookout on arrival and departure.

Downtown Skyport is the on-field FBO. It carries JET_A. The field has 13 helicopter parking spaces with additional transient positions available. Fire stand pipes are on site. Early hours, holidays and weekend attendance require 24 hours notice. Call the listed number before you go if you need that coverage. The manager is Downtown Skyport LLC. For a first-time pilot, the big items are the Manhattan location, the radio requirement, the FDR Drive restriction and the need to verify current procedures before you launch.
