Yep, thats a strange one alright. Unfortunately FS2004 doesnt have LDIN
lights, but I gave it a whirl anyway. Why would the procedure be
unauthorized without the lead-in lights? Get to DMYHL, if you see the
airport you proceed, if you don't you go missed.

The whole purpose of the Canarsie 13 approach is noise abatement.
Keep those noisey jets away from as many houses as possible and
without the lead-in lights to keep the flight-path in close to the
airport, the pilots would naturally fly a more comfortable, wider
approach. There is an ILS to runway 13, but it is only used when
the weather does not permit use of the Canarsie VOR approach.
Runway 13L is the primary arrival runway while 13R is used mostly
for departures.
Noise rules for JFK require that the active runway be changed about
every six hours regardless of the wind direction.
