Chart Wise: Training and Technique

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Teterboro (KTEB) is a very busy business aviation airport with high annual traffic, often requiring Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) plans.
  • The approach to Runway 1 at KTEB is uniquely challenging, necessitating an ILS Runway 6, circle to land Runway 1 maneuver due to its proximity to Newark Liberty.
  • Circling approaches at KTEB are difficult and dangerous, as tragically demonstrated by a recent Learjet 35A crash attributed to a delayed circling maneuver.
  • The complexity of KTEB's circling approaches is further heightened by significant obstacles, such as a 700-foot tower near the final approach fix.

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.
