Teterboro Airport (KTEB) is a high-traffic business aviation airport with approximately 178,000 takeoffs and landings yearly.
Runway 1 at KTEB requires a challenging circling approach (ILS Runway 6, circle to land Runway 1) due to its location and proximity to Newark Liberty Airport.
The circling approach to Runway 1 is complicated by nearby obstacles, including a tall tower near the typical circling maneuver initiation point.
A fatal Learjet 35A accident highlighted the risks associated with this approach, emphasizing the need for pilots to initiate circling maneuvers early enough.
Teterboro is one of the busiest business aviation airports in the United States, handling 178,000 takeoffs and landings annually, many on IFR flight plans. Most runways offer a straight-in approach, except Runway 1. KTEB’s proximity to nearby Newark Liberty means the best approach available to Runway 1 is the ILS Runway 6, circle to land Runway 1.
