Teterboro (KTEB) is a very busy business aviation airport, uniquely requiring a challenging circle-to-land approach for Runway 1 due to its proximity to Newark Liberty.
The standard approach for Runway 1 is the ILS Runway 6, circle-to-land Runway 1, which demands precise maneuvering.
A recent fatal Learjet 35A crash was attributed to the crew failing to initiate the circling maneuver early enough during this complex approach.
Obstacles, such as a 700-foot tower near the final approach fix, add significant pressure and difficulty to the KTEB Runway 1 circling approach.
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.
