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.
Chart Wise: Training and Technique
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.
