I am sure everyone is aware that there will be significant special event activity in the area beginning Friday afternoon, July 17, 2026, through Sunday, July 19, 2026. During this period, multiple VIP Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) will be in effect, each impacting operations at Teterboro Airport differently.
I ask that all airport users ensure they are familiar with the most current NOTAMs and comply with all applicable VIP TFR restrictions throughout the weekend.
On Friday, July 17, the initial New York City TFR will be in effect. During this phase, Teterboro will continue to operate normal IFR arrivals and departures.
Later on Friday, the TFR will transition to the Bedminster TFR, which will remain in effect throughSunday, July 19. During the Bedminster TFR, all westbound general aviation IFR departures from Teterboro will be required to utilize the COATE, GAYEL, or WHITE departure gates to route around the restricted airspace. Please plan accordingly, as concentrating westbound departures through these gates may result in increased traffic volume and additional departure delays.
In addition, weather is currently forecast for the area on Saturday, July 18, increasing the likelihood of a Severe Weather Avoidance Plan (SWAP) event. Should a SWAP be implemented while the Bedminster TFR is active, the limited departure gate availability may result in even greater delays for aircraft departing Teterboro.
On Sunday, July 19, the VIP TFR will relocate to East Rutherford (MetLife Stadium) for the FIFA World Cup Final. While Teterboro Airport will remain open and operational, significant restrictions will be in place.
From 1300L to 1900L, all arrivals and departures operating to or from Teterboro must receive TSA screening. Aircraft that have not completed the required screening will not be authorized to arrive or depart TEB during this period.
Please note that TEB Air Traffic Control is not responsible for scheduling TSA screening appointments. It is the responsibility of each operator to coordinate screening.
Departure screening at Teterboro will be available at:
- Atlantic Aviation
- Jet Aviation
- Signature Aviation – South
- Signature Aviation – West
Gateway screening locations for inbound aircraft are:
- Fixed-wing aircraft: PHL and ABE
- Helicopters: LDJ
During all phases of the VIP TFRs, please ensure you remain in continuous communication with Air Traffic Control and are operating on the assigned beacon code. Remaining “squawking and talking” is critical to maintaining safe and efficient operations within the restricted airspace.
Users are also encouraged to remain current on all applicable NOTAMs and monitor weather conditions throughout the weekend.
Please be aware of the runway configuration restrictions that will be in effect during the MetLife TFR:
- South Flow: Arrivals and departures will utilize Runway 24.
- North Flow: Arrivals will utilize Runway 6, with departures on Runway 1 or Runway 6.
- Arrivals to Runway 1 will not be permitted during the MetLife TFR.
Additionally, I ask all operators to ensure they have confirmed parking reservations with the FBO of their choice. Proper planning will help minimize ramp congestion and allow both airport operations and ATC to maintain safe and efficient traffic flow throughout the weekend.
FBO Managers: As you are aware, this weekend coincides with the FIFA World Cup Final. Both Airport Operations and ATC have been requesting updated reservation counts as planning continues. To ensure we have the most accurate operational picture, I ask that each FBO provide your current reservation numbers to either Airport Operations or directly to me via email or telephone. With the additional TSA screening requirements and multiple VIP TFRs, having the most current information is critical to effective planning and resource management.
Throughout the weekend, please continue to keep both the Tower and Airport Operations informed of any potential ramp congestion or gridlock issues so that appropriate traffic management procedures can be implemented as early as possible.
This event has been in planning for well over a year, and I sincerely appreciate everyone’s cooperation, professionalism, and patience as we work together to ensure a safe and successful operation.
Thank you in advance for your support. Please stay safe, comply with all applicable restrictions, remain familiar with the latest NOTAMs and weather conditions, and do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks to the efforts of the Teterboro Users Group in conjunction with the FAA, the New York TAC (and regular sectional) will be updated on May 14th to include a Caution Box advising pilots on approach to RWY19 to be aware of VFR traffic and points them to the chart supplement. Below is a screenshot and a preview is available here – VFR Raster Charts.
Your ATC Operational questions answered by KTEB ATCT Manager Matt Petersen:
Q: At times, when we call ground for taxi at TEB, we can go several calls without acknowledgement. I think the simple answer for why this happens is obvious, they’re busy and we get that. However, just wondering if this has come up from any other operators, and if we are to assume ground has heard us? Or should we continue calling until we receive acknowledgement? More concerned with the local customary position on this.
A: It could be a few things, maybe the ground controller is busy, and they are working on things in an order of necessity before getting back to aircraft who are not moving yet. Examples would be, they coordinated crossing reference arrivals or departures, and they do not want to miss the gap. At that point, the ground controller will almost block out people calling to ensure that they get the crossing done safely.
Another possibility is that we do currently have 4 people training on the ground control position and they are still getting used to the volume. In those cases, maybe they are a little behind, and they are moving people out the best they can safely.
And last, there is a chance your call was not heard or mistaken for a different call sign.
My suggestion is if you make a call and time passes where you feel you are being skipped then call again. I know some people may tell you they know, but you don’t know that and there is a chance they missed it. Please do not take this personally, if you are told they know you are waiting or tell you to stand by it is most likely due to one of the scenarios above. I wish we could get everyone moving right away but that is not always the case, there may be traffic opposite direction of your ramp, some kind of coordination happening not on frequency that you are not aware of so the GC can not respond right away or they are just behind and trying to catch up. If you are waiting for what seems like a long time and others are checking in, call again. I will say give it a little time for the response but if you feel you were not heard then call.

The publication of this Chart Supplement Special Notice represents the first step in communicating, quantifying and mitigating the high prevalence of TCAS Resolution Advisories (RA) in the airspace surrounding KTEB. TUG encourages flight crews to exercise the highest levels of vigilance in the areas described and depicted, particularly when Teterboro operates on a south flow. Because this Chart Supplement Special Notice is difficult to find, we’ve attach the document below.
Next Steps
The U.S. Aviation Safety Team (USAST) has asked the General Aviation Issue Analysis Team and General Aviation Joint Safety Committee to initiate a safety risk assessment for the increasing Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System – Resolution Advisories (TCAS RAs) along the final approach corridor for RWY19 at Teterboro (TEB). The goal of the assessment is to identify and quantify the risk of the TCAS RA events, document proposed mitigations, and provide a report back to the USAST for next steps.
This assessment is expected to occur April 28th – April 30th, 2026, with a virtual kickoff meeting to occur in early April. The FAA, TUG and NBAA will participate in the SRA process, and we’ll provide further updates as necessary and appropriate.
Teterboro Airport (KTEB) will introduce a new instrument approach procedure, RNAV (GPS) RWY 01, beginning Feb. 19 at 0701Z. While offering the advantage of lateral and vertical guidance to the runway, the new IAP notably introduces a Visual Guidance Fix (VGF) and visual segment concept at TEB.
We strongly encourage Operators to become familiar with a VGF and an Extended Visual Segment by reviewing InFO 24005, Instrument Approach Operations with a Visual Guidance Fix (VGF) and an Extended Visual Segment.
The procedure will be advertised on ATIS whenever the approach is in use, and pilots should advise ATC if they are unable to accept it.
No specific pilot training or operator authorization or operations specification is required to use an RNP approach procedure with a VGF and an extended visual segment; however, the approach must be in the navigation database.
The FAA introduced public Required Navigation Performance Approach (RNP APCH) procedures that offer the flightcrew continuous advisory lateral and vertical guidance in an extended visual segment leading to the landing runway threshold in 2019, in response to a request from the Commercial Aircraft Safety Team (CAST). These approach procedures feature a final approach track offset from the runway centerline and a published visual ground track beginning at the VGF which includes reference waypoints and recommended altitudes.
This type of approach is already available at:
- Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA), Area Navigation (RNAV) (Global Positioning System (GPS)) runway (RWY) 33,
- John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 13L and RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 13R, and
- LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), RNAV (GPS) X RWY 31.
Effective January 22, 2026, the FAA implemented changes to the KTEB ILS Z or LOC Z Rwy 6, which include crossing VINGS at a Mandatory altitude of 2000’ and DANDY at a Mandatory altitude of 1300’. The justification for these changes can be found on the FAA Inflight Procedures Gateway web page as follows:
- Altitude change at DANDY from 1500 to AT 1300. New Transition from COATE TO ELIZE, STW to ELIZE TO ALIDA TO WAWAH VINGS. VINGS crossing altitude AT 2000. New crossing altitude at MALCN 3000. Cancels T-NOTAM !FDC 5/4001.
- Approval Request for Mandatory altitudes at VINGS and DANDY due to adjacent airport departure crossing restrictions.
- Waiver Request for Maximum Altitude Restriction In Missed Approach Segment.
Please be especially vigilant to honor these new requirements.
Wanted to share some clarification on what is happening with obstruction lighting for the ABC Tower.
Currently the tower has flashing white lights at the top and midway down the tower. These are operational 24/7.
However, the lighting manufacturer is working to address a problem with the red flashing lights, which typically would be used at night. Currently, they can’t get the red flashers to operate while the Radio station is broadcasting.
A NOTAM has been issued, but it generically indicates that the Obstruction Light is unserviceable – which is true of the red lights. But I hope this email provides some additional clarification.

| Washington, DC, May 14, 2025 – While the National Airspace System (NAS) remains the world’s safest, recent equipment outages across one of the nation’s busiest sectors have rattled pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC) alike. As the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) works to resolve these challenges across the Northeastern U.S., the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) urges business aviation flight crews to approach the situation with level heads and work strategically within established procedures. On May 12, Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy announced the formation of a “tiger team” task force dedicated to resolving issues in the Philadelphia Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON Area C) sector that controls airspace overlying multiple New York City-area airports. Solutions in the works include adding three new, high-bandwidth feeds between the New York-based Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) and the Philadelphia TRACON to provide greater speed, reliability and redundancy. The FAA is also deploying a temporary backup system to maintain communications, with plans for a dedicated STARS hub for the Philadelphia location. Additional controllers are also part of the solution. The FAA noted Area C currently has 27 fully certified controllers and supervisors on duty, with an additional 21 in training. Of the latter, 10 are receiving on-the-job training to cover additional sectors but are already certified on at least one position, with three certified on multiple positions. In the near term, however, flight crews should expect possible traffic management initiatives in the region, which may impact operations to and from some of the area’s busiest general aviation airports including New Jersey’s Essex County Airport (CDW), Morristown (MMU) and Teterboro (TEB). “NBAA is in direct dialogue with the FAA to work through this situation,” said Heidi Williams, NBAA senior director of air traffic services and infrastructure. “We encourage business aviation flight crews to consider their alternatives before wheels up. Think strategically, as always, but remain flexible in your plans.” For example, congestion at TEB may drive crews to file Westchester County Airport (HPN) as an alternate, leading to similar delays at that New York airport. “Consider and plan for additional alternatives outside the immediate area or drop and go operations could be an option,” Williams said. “Pilots may also consider tankering additional fuel in the event of delays or reroutes.” NBAA also urges pilots to utilize flight planning resources available from both NBAA and the agency. That includes subscribing to Airspace/Airport Alerts from NBAA Air Traffic Services, and staying updated on the status of the National Airspace System through nasstatus.faa.gov. Additionally, NBAA will host a live News Hour webinar early next week featuring expert guidance on the procedures and tools in place to manage operations in the near term and how to ensure business aviation flights in the sector support the highest levels of safety. Williams stressed crews should not attempt to deviate from established airspace procedures. “We recognize the challenges and strongly encourage crews to keep level heads, exercise patience and thorough preflight planning, and we’ll get through this together.” |

Washington, DC, May 8, 2025 – Today, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) joined more than 50 other industry groups to express strong support for Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy’s proposal for a comprehensive upgrade of the nation’s air traffic control (ATC) system, which serves approximately 45,000 flights and 2.9 million passengers every day.
“Secretary Duffy’s plan cements America as a global leader in aviation, investing in both technology and the air traffic control workforce to enhance U.S. aviation safety and reliability,” NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen said in remarks delivered at an event held in Washington, DC, to unveil the DOT plan. “The swift implementation of these updates is not just important, it’s imperative. We commend the Secretary for his focus on speed, efficiency, and safety and we fully support his call for Congress to provide the necessary funding.”
Importantly, a central focus of Secretary Duffy’s plan to modernize the ATC system focuses on implementing needed technological upgrades, enhancing connectivity and ensuring U.S. infrastructure can adapt to evolving technologies and increasing air traffic. Additionally, Secretary Duffy’s focus on accelerating the recruitment and training of air traffic controllers, which is part of his supercharge program announced in February, is a crucial step in addressing a longstanding workforce shortage.
In supporting Secretary Duffy’s plan, NBAA has joined the Modern Skies Coalition, (modernskies.com), a new group comprised of more than 50 industry organizations supporting the Administration’s plans to upgrade aviation safety and maintain America’s position as the global leader.
“We are deeply appreciative that Secretary Duffy has made our nation’s air traffic control system a priority and look forward to working with the Administration and Congress to bring this vision to fruition,” the coalition said.
The coalition applauded the Administration’s budget request of $4 billion for FAA’s technology and Facilities and Equipment (F&E), which is higher than ever before. The coalition also expressed appreciation for the Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Sam Graves (R-6-MO), for taking a first step and moving $12.5 billion of ATC modernization funding through his committee.
At the same time, the group called for continued sufficient budget requests and an immediate robust infusion of resources to address soaring operational demands and enhance safety measures. “We believe a minimum of $18.5 billion in additional emergency funding should be appropriated over the next three years above the FAA’s annual F&E budget,” the coalition said in its statement.
Read the full Modern Skies Coalition statement here.
“The future of air travel in the U.S. depends on a robust and resilient air traffic control system,” Bolen concluded. “NBAA recognizes that maintaining safety and improving efficiency requires collaboration and investment from all stakeholders involved, and we stand ready to assist Secretary Duffy and the Administration in driving these essential changes.”
