Hot Spots

HS1: Maintain vigilance on TWY L at RWY 6/24. High traffic area.

• Pilots taxiing on TWY L and have crossed the holding position marking for RWY 6/24 without authorization. RWY 6/24 crosses TWY L at an oblique angle and the south side of the RWY at this intersection is expanded to accommodate crossings at TWY H. This may contribute to the confusion at this location.

HS2: Maintain vigilance on TWY G at RWY 6/24. High traffic area.

• Aircraft taxiing to or from RWY 1/19 via TWY G sometimes miss the RWY 6/24 holding position markings and violate the RSA or cross the runway.

• For both of the above Hot Spot descriptions, pilots should review the taxi clearance before starting to taxi.
• Actively scanning to locate and identify RWY signs, markings, lighting and deferring all heads down activities until holding short at the appropriate location will help eliminate these errors.
• If you are unsure of your position or instructions, ask the tower.

Wrong Airport Landing Risk

See Arrival Alert Notices

• During pre-flight planning, check the sectional chart for airports in close proximity and charted reporting points.
• Use the most precise navigational aids available such as GPS, localizers, or VOR radials to positively identify the airport.
• If you're talking to ATC and you're unsure, ask the controller.
• View the From the Flight Deck-Wrong Airport Landings video for more information and mitigation strategies.

Surface Movement Area Cautions

• The RWY 1 threshold is displaced 770’ and the RWY 19 threshold is displaced 767’. The RWY overruns with the yellow chevrons are not available for taxiing. Engineered Material Arresting Systems (EMAS) is located at the departure ends of RWY 6, RWY 19 and RWY 24.

Ground Control (GC)

• When holding short of RWY 19 at TWY L1 awaiting a RWY 24 departure, remain on GC frequency unless otherwise instructed to contact tower.
• When taxiing to RWY 24 for departure from the west side of the airport via TWY L, be sure not to inadvertently turn onto TWY L2 anticipating to cross RWY 19, especially at night. This will require a back-taxi or 180 turn around.

Takeoff/Departure

• When assigned RWY 24 for departure, turn into the holding pad, face and monitor tower. If you are turbine powered we will know you're ready to depart upon reaching.  No need to state that you are ready in sequence or holding short of runway 24. This will alleviate extra back and forth transmissions from the tower controller to acknowledge.
• Pilots are urged to check Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Flight Management Systems (FMS) to ensure that route revisions do not inadvertently delete the WENTZ ONE DEPARTURE (RNAV).
• TEB utilizes “Line Up and Wait” (LUAW) to instruct a pilot to taxi onto the departure RWY and hold position until cleared for takeoff. It is not an authorization for takeoff. For mitigation strategies, view the From the Flight Deck-Line Up and Wait video.

Arrival/Landing

• Land and Hold Short (LAHSO) clearances may be issued to general aviation aircraft. Advise TWR if you are unable to participate. 

• Pilots should review NOTAMS for the Letter to Airmen: Land And Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) for facility issued guidance.
• The RNAV (GPS) X RWY 6 is the primary RNAV approach to RWY 6.
• The RNAV (GPS) X RWY 19 approach is an alternate approach procedure that is designed to reduce the impact of aircraft noise at the Hackensack University Medical Center and surrounding residential areas. This approach is available upon pilot request. Visit TEB Airport Noise Office - Aircraft Noise for information about this preferred procedure.

Missed Approaches

• Due to the proximity of the RWY 19 and RWY 24 approaches at TEB and the RWY 22 approaches at KEWR, it is imperative that pilots precisely comply with all air traffic control instructions and published procedures.
• Pilots are encouraged to review NOTAMS for the Letter to Airmen: Published Missed Approaches for Runway 19 and Runway 24 for facility issued guidance.

Special Traffic (Military / Commercial / Helicopter, etc.)

• Helicopter operations below 1000’ MSL over residential areas should be avoided.

NOTAMS

• Pilots should review NOTAMS for ATC issued guidance on the following:
  • Movement and Non-Visibility Areas
  • KEWR Overhead Arrivals
  • Practice Approaches
