Routing to certain airports in ZNY, ZDC and ZBW ARTCCs is pre-coordinated through letters of agreement (LOA). These routes have been added to the Preferred Route Database(PRD). Therefore, PRD must be referenced for all departures.

The initial altitude for IFR departures of all types is 2,000’ whereas higher may be expected in 10 minutes after departure.
There is no published departure procedure out of Suffolk. All aircraft must be cleared to their destination via radar vectors to a proper FOK exit.

Suffolk is a Class Delta airport. All VFR traffic must establish two-way radio communications.
See the VFR Operations document for detailed explanation of applicable VFR procedures.

Departure Sequencing
Exit Gate Exits
North COATE, NEION, HAAYS, GAYEL, SAX
East GREKI, MERIT, BAYYS, BDR
West NEWEL, ELIOT, ZIMMZ, PARKE, LANNA, BIGGY, SBJ
South WHITE, DIXIE
  1. Aircraft should be sequenced to depart in the following order:
    1. By alternating gate group.
    2. If not the above, then by alternating exit.
    3. If not the above, then by aircraft type largest to smallest.
  2. Coordinate with Local Control at the beginning of a shift if departures will “monitor” or “contact.” Also ensure to coordinate how Local Control would like departure sequence forwarded.
  3. Before switching departing aircraft to Local Control frequency, ensure the aircraft is aware of his or her number for takeoff. This is important for engine start and warm up times.
Taxi Routes
  1. As the taxiway system is simple, there are no pre-defined routings.
  2. When the above is not available, hold departures on the ramp until the inbound aircraft is clear of the outbound aircraft. You may use conditional taxi instructions to accomplish this.

Tower

Tower Procedures

Releases
  • Releases from Philadelphia is requested per aircraft unless N90 permits blanket releases.
  • In order to depart Teterboro under an IFR flight plan, TRACON must issue a release for departure. Departure restrictions such as release times and clearance void times are necessary to separate departures from other traffic in the airspace or to regulate the departure flow. Through land line communications, tower will obtain a release from TRACON for a specific flight after which tower can then issue departure instructions and takeoff clearance
Separation

The standard departure separation technique to be used is anticipated radar separation. Only use timed separation if the pilot requests it.

Radar
Teterboro ATCT is equipped with a Remote ARTS Color Display (RACD) and is not certified for any approach control services. By agreement with N90, this tower will not radar identify departing IFR aircraft and will instruct a departure to contact departure control once the aircraft appears to be clear of any traffic.
Runway Selection

If TEB is staffed but the configuration at EWR is not known, use the following table.

Wind Speed (kts) Direction (°M) Depart Land
0-4 Any If EWR is on a northeast flow then use Runway 6 otherwise use Runway 24
5+ 331-100 1 6
101-219 19 19
220-280 24 19
281-330 24 24
  • If Newark lands south, then TEB must be in the following configuration regardless of the winds: land runway 19, depart runway 24.
  • If Newark lands north, then TEB must be in the following configuration regardless of the winds: land runway 6, depart runway 1.
  • Regardless of the wind speed or direction, when the ceiling is less than 500' or the visibility is less than 1.25 SM and not landing runway 6, then you must switch to runway 6.
  • This visibility is calculated using category C aircraft which have a final approach speed of between 121 and 140 knots.
Runway Heading
1 040 then 280 at 2.3 DME
6 040 then 280 at 2.3 DME
19 runway heading then 280 at 900'
24 runway heading then 280 at 1,500'
Runway Heading Altitude
1 330 2,000’
6 330 2,000’
19 290 1,500’
24 280 1,500’
Airspace
  • Class Delta
  • Teterboro owns 2,500’ and below in the very northern section of the airspace. The tower owns 1,400’ and below in the very eastern section of the airspace west of the GW bridge. The tower owns 1,700’ and below in the rest of the airspace since the floor of the class BRAVO is 1,800’.
  • All VFR aircraft must be radar identified and issued a discreet squawk code while operating within the tower's airspace.
Departures

All departures whose destination is known to be LGA, EWR, LDJ, MMU or CDW should remain on the ground until an approval has been received from the respective Tower that they are able to accept the aircraft into their airspace.

VFR reporting points

Pilots will often report a geographical location or checkpoint to verify and announce their location and position in relation to the field. Most VFR checkpoints are depicted on sectional aeronautical and terminal area charts.

Teterboro (TEB) VFR Departures
  • Skyline Route: APREQ (approval request) is necessary from EWR Tower for VFR departures requesting Class Bravo entry into EWR Airspace. EWR may approve the APREQ and thus CBA entry up to 1,500’.
  • Exclusion Zone (SFRA): Send aircraft entering the exclusion zone direct the George Washington Bridge.
Pattern Work

Direction of traffic patterns at Teterboro is determined based on the table, unless the pilot specifically requests something different or traffic warrants the use of right hand patterns.

Runway Direction
1 Right
6 Right
19 Left
24 Left

TRACON

TRACON services for Teterboro are provided by EWR sector of N90 TRACON.
