The skies over New York have been quieter over the past year or so, and it\u2019s not hard to guess why. With lower traffic levels, there have been a number of operational changes at nearby<\/strong> KTEB\/Teterboro<\/strong>. Here\u2019s a rundown of what you might have missed recently…<\/p>\n

Noise is a bigger issue than ever<\/h4>\n

It may seem ironic, but Covid hasn\u2019t helped. With less airplanes in the skies, nearby residents have become more aware of Teterboro\u2019s noise, and complaints have been on the rise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re headed to KTEB, be aware that there are extensive noise abatement procedures. <\/strong>There’s a handy summary<\/a> of these available online, but here are some of the biggest gotchas to get you started.<\/p>\n

If your ride is a jet and you\u2019re new to KTEB, you\u2019ll need permission first. There’s a form<\/a> to fill out for that.<\/p>\n

The most noise sensitive time is between 22:00 and 06:00LT, and it\u2019s when you\u2019re the most likely to get yourself into trouble. There’s a ‘voluntarily restraint’ in place after 23:00\u00a0 – in other words if your flight isn’t essential, it should wait.<\/p>\n

Sprinkled through the surrounding suburbs are noise monitoring devices, and there are strict decibel limits. The most restrictive is Runway 24 at night (only 80dB). Bust em’, and you can be served a violation – too many of those and you can say sayonara to operating there. And they take two years to expire.<\/p>\n

The least noise sensitive area is to the south of the airport. So if departing on the back of the clock and the weather is playing ball, try to use Runway 19 for departures and Runway 01 for arrivals.<\/p>\n

Speaking of noise, the new RNAV X RWY 19<\/h4>\n

Back in July, an offset RNAV noise sensitive approach was introduced<\/a> for Runway 19. It\u2019s a quieter alternative to the straight-in ILS. It\u2019s recommended for night ops at KTEB on request (and you may hear it mentioned on the ATIS). But there\u2019s some important stuff you should know before <\/em>you go ahead and shoot it.<\/p>\n

If conditions are less than \u2018tropical\u2019, keep in mind the approach is significantly offset (13 degrees) and minimas are high. The visual descent point is almost three miles from the threshold. There\u2019s also a big unfriendly radio antenna at the business end of the approach. At the VDP on the correct 3 degree path, you’ll be uncomfortably close to it – check out this article<\/a> for just\u00a0how<\/em> close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the moral of the story? In marginal conditions, the approach can quickly become challenging \u2013 consider the ILS<\/strong> if in doubt.<\/p>\n

Escape Routes<\/h4>\n

Tired of waiting at the hold? We don’t blame you!<\/p>\n

There are new departure routes<\/a> to help business jet operators get airborne out of KTEB when the weather is bad, or New York\u2019s majors airports are especially busy. New York TRACON is responsible for co-ordinating those with the tower.<\/p>\n

A head\u2019s up though \u2013 they are designed with the performance of business jets in mind and may require steeper climb profiles than you\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n

You need to fly them from start to finish too. Don\u2019t accept the clearance unless you are sure you can meet the requirements, and asking for track shortening after wheels up is a no-no.<\/p>\n

Works<\/h4>\n

Construction and runway maintenance are ongoing. Single runway closures are common and can happen during the day. The good news is that full closures are pretty rare.<\/p>\n

Something to look out for \u2013 if Runway 06\/24 is closed in southerly conditions, extended delays are common at KTEB due to the flow at nearby KEWR\/Newark, just 10nm to the South. You might need to carry some extra gas.<\/p>\n

The Teterboro Users Group publish weekly Maintenance Bulletins for Runway and Taxiway closures which you can access here<\/a>. Of course, if you prefer your info capitalised and abbreviated, you’ll find the information in\u00a0 Notams too.<\/p>\n

Covid<\/h4>\n

We\u2019re all well over it. But there are some procedures to follow, especially if operating an international flight into KTEB.<\/p>\n

US Customs and Border Protection are up and running at the airport, but will only accept international arrivals between 07:15 and 23:15 local. Don\u2019t show up after hours. Standard CDC rules apply here including the pre-travel testing requirement for all pax.<\/p>\n
