Teterboro (KTEB) is a high-traffic business aviation airport known for its particularly challenging circling approach to Runway 1.
The required approach to Runway 1 involves an ILS Runway 6, circle to land Runway 1 maneuver, necessitated by KTEB's proximity to Newark Liberty, and is further complicated by nearby obstacles like a 700-foot tower.
A recent Learjet 35A crash at KTEB highlights the dangers of this complex approach, with the crew failing to initiate the circling maneuver 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.
