A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration N819NW performing flight
DL-213 from Athens (Greece) to New York JFK,NY (USA) with 297 people on board, was on approach to JFK's runway 04R when the crew initiated a go around from about 1000 feet advising ATC they had a maintenance issue. The crew requested to enter a hold to work the procedures, then reported they had a hydraulic issue which has gone away however they are still showing low pressure. In case the hydraulic problem came up again, they needed to be towed off the runway. The crew requested the longest runway available and a long final (15nm). ATC advised they would need to do a RNAV approach to runway 13R, otherwise it would be a very short final, the crew indicated RNAV runway 31R would be okay for them, when ATC queried the crew corrected to RNAV 13R and requested VOR approach 13R. The crew further suggested to do the RNAV for 13L and sidestep to runway 13R. The aircraft performed the RNAV approach for runway 13L and side stepped to runway 13R landing safely on runway 13R about 30 minutes after going around. The aircraft stopped on the runway for a few minutes, thne the crew advised they'd taxi to the gate with the flaps still down and continue to the apron.
