I am planning a flight to KTEB in 2 weeks for a NYC weekend. First time in,for me, and I found this video to be a huge confidence builder. I have flown into many larger airports with class B airspace, but there is such a mystique about New York that one always wonders. What the video shows is what always seems to turn out well - do what ATC says when they say it, and all becomes straightforward. Thanks Martin for the video.
7 years later and this video is still helping pilots. I'm planning my first trip into TEB in just a couple weeks and the details you gave on the FBO and its location on the airport diagram is invaluable! Thank you so much.
Martin, as a temporarily grounded PP you and Guido Warnecke keep me on flight deck! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate all the work that goes into them.
Sorry to hear you are grounded - hopefully that'll get corrected soon. I guess Guido and I share the same accent? ;-) I like his videos, too. Thanks for the nice feedback.
being raised in jersey im surprised teterboro wasnt quite as busy. plus im glad you chose the "movie star" airport. i flew to KLDJ once, you will get a closer view of nyc. great video!.
I was trying to figure out why there was a second ATIS frequency outside the com frequency band too when I went in. I didn’t know it was on the VOR. Very cool!
Nice going Mart. You are now at my home airport. You are correct, Teterboro is a very busy airport with many operations per hour, but great service. My only suggestion is for you to get the prop sync part of your camera. The pictures are good except for the spinning prop. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year.
Thanks, Richard. Since I made the Teterboro video, I got an ND filter for the camera. However, I don't use it all the time - while it does eliminate the nasty propeller artifact, it also blurs out the picture noticeably. I haven't figured out yet how to get a sharp, crips picture through the front window without upgrading to a Baron first! :-) Regards, Martin
While flying in New York, this is as good as it gets, busy too! Great flight, Martin! I did a TEB night-flight in a SR20 a few years ago flying out of LGA.
Thanks, Windtee. I do hope that the airspace remains available for sightseeing over the next years, now that the incoming President may be in New York City quite a bit.
Great Video Captain Martin, Allentown happens to be my home town too, I went to Teterboro some yrs ago and also notice Glamorous Private Jet and of course we were the Only propeller airplane C172 aircraft on the field that day
I am happy to hear that, Jim. When I make these videos, I try to think of things that would have been helpful to know before going, so that pilots that are on the fence about going there for the first time can get a better idea of what to expect. And it's also a fun way for me to debrief the flights.
How things have changed. I was a student pilot at Teterboro in 1981. It was not that busy, and one could actually do touch-and-goes. I rented a Cessna 152 there for $18 an hour.
Thanks, Josh. I haven't been out east much and I am not yet familiar with that part of the country. But it looked beautiful, as far as we could see from the airplane, and we really enjoyed our stay in New York. We'll be back to see more.
Great video once again. I noticed that about 15 min prior to arrival atc gave u long instructions towards the fix which included being established on the localizer. This is different than the already challenging departure CRAFT clearance because on the one mentioned, u were already flying n about to fully execute the approach. My question is, how do u copy that in the air while flying? Thx in advance.
Hello Tomas, are you referring to the instructions at 18:15 into the video? It's an example of something that sounds hard to remember but isn't really. For the most part, it's the structure of the approach clearance. The heading is quickly set on my heading bug, so I don't have to remember. The altitude to maintain is often the altitude I'm already at, just a reminder to not descend further until established on a published segment of the approach. The approach itself had been given to me earlier ("expect ILS runway 6 approach", or "expect visual approach runway 6" - either way, you get the chart out and brief it). The only non-standard item in this approach clearance was to cross DANDY intersection at 1,500 feet, but that, too, is part of the published approach, so I had already seen this when I briefed the approach: 155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1701/00890IL6.PDF To summarize, most of what's in this approach clearance is expected information, not brand new stuff that's hard to memorize. I don't usually copy it except for a very occasional case where something they tell me is actually different than what I expected.
Martin Pauly Thx again, very thourough explanation. much appreciated. Continue your great work in taking us along those visually appealing n informative plane rides.
Ray, I bet that looked spectacular. My only time flying in the area so far was during the daytime. I hope to come back someday and see what it looks like in the dark.
***** Republic Field and McArthur come to mind as well. Car rentals or L.I.R.R. from McArthur to N.Y.C. A flight into YYC to access Banff National park is another great flight.
Heya Martin, Another good video. I've seen most of your videos, but don't recall if I've seen one of you taking Zero Tango Bravo to the Caribbean. If you have, let me know ... and if you have not, WHEN??? Thanks, Chuck, Jacksonville, Florida PS: Got my Commercial & Multi-engine in 1972. Haven't flown in ~ 13 years now, though. If I can get a medical certificate (iffy with my 'heart M.I. incident 12 years ago), I'm SERIOUSLY considering buying an A36. Would like to do a lot of Angel Flight volunteer work ... and then reward myself with lots of Carib destinations for R & R. What would you say that your Operating Costs are on your bird, based on 150 to 200 hours a year flight time? Thanks for any and all comments. Cheers
Hey Chuck, I have not flown myself to the Caribbean - yet. Something on the bucket list, though it's a long way just to get to Florida from my home, which is not a bad destination by itself. One of these days I'll make it happen! :-) I've been fortunate in that my A36 has not needed much unscheduled maintenance. So my operating cost has been fairly predictable. For the number of hours you mentioned, I'd plan for somewhere around $20k-$25k per year (insurance, hangar, annual, fuel, oil changes, etc.), not including cost of capital. Good luck for getting your medical, and for getting back in the cockpit! Regards, Martin
Even back then it was busy. Take a lesson on a Saturday or Sunday and on your way back it was not unusual to be put in a hold pattern for 10 or 15 minutes.
What headset/earpiece is that? How effective is it in the prop planes? I fly a 172 which probably isn't near as noisy as the Bonanza. I love your videos! I fly out of Ankeny, IA, so it's nice to see another Iowa pilot out flying! I fly to CID all the time to practice approaches!
Ankeny is a nice airport. I've been there a few times, as well as to KDSM. The headset is called 'Halo', made by a company called Quiet Technologies. Before that, I was using a David Clark with active noise reduction, which I liked but which made me too tall to sit comfortably in the Bonanza. I really like the Halo. The foam plugs need to be replaced every now and then to keep things clean and to maintain the full noise reduction. With good foam plugs, the noise reduction is impressive, and the light weight and lack of pressure make it my favorite headset. Highly recommended.
That's great, thank you! I have the Bose A20 set which is awesome for listening to music on cross countries, and that would be a big reason why I would hesitate getting that headset, but something simple that doesn't cover the entire ear also seems nice and simple. If you ever fly back to IKV or DSM, let me know! I wanna see that Bonanza! I need my complex and HP ratings... ;) haha.

You are welcome, Chris. I hope you enjoy your upcoming flight into Teterboro.
I guess I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Lewis Oliver Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)
@Lewis Oliver try flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

Yes - it's pretty rare, but sometimes VORs are used for this purpose.

While flying in New York, this is as good as it gets, busy too! Great flight, Martin! I did a TEB night-flight in a SR20 a few years ago flying out of LGA.
Thanks, Windtee. I do hope that the airspace remains available for sightseeing over the next years, now that the incoming President may be in New York City quite a bit.
Absolutely!
You have great videos. Big help when you show the charts and GPS. The Hudson corridor flight is a must see.
These videos are very appreciated. Motivating me to get my medical back and acquire one of these fine Beechcraft machines!
That's about the nicest thing I can hear back from people watching my videos, Erik. I say go for it, get your wings back!
Regards, Martin
Great Video Captain Martin, Allentown happens to be my home town too, I went to Teterboro some yrs ago and also notice Glamorous Private Jet and of course we were the Only propeller airplane C172 aircraft on the field that day
Another fantastic vid. Love the narrations and animations/slides/etc. Thanks for posting!
Very helpful! Showing the charts really adds to the usefulness of these videos.

Awsome flight i enjoy every minute off it.good luck on all your flights.
Thank you, Marin. It was a very enjoyable flight, and a fun stay in New York City. I hope to be back soon.
I now watched this video.... awesome as usual.
How things have changed. I was a student pilot at Teterboro in 1981. It was not that busy, and one could actually do touch-and-goes. I rented a Cessna 152 there for $18 an hour.
Martin, I stopped by meridian twice in the last three days. I can't believe how nice they are to piston GA.
Yes. From what I have heard, other FBOs at Teterboro don't have anywhere near the supportive attitude towards piston airplanes.
Martin Pauly il post a video of the trip in a couple of days
Glad to see you in my neck of the woods. That cutout in the ridgeline was the Delaware Water Gap.
Thanks, Josh. I haven't been out east much and I am not yet familiar with that part of the country. But it looked beautiful, as far as we could see from the airplane, and we really enjoyed our stay in New York. We'll be back to see more.

I used to rent 172s out of TEB ,50 yrs. ago on date nights for coffee trips up to Danbury. Lots of lights on clear nights.
Ray, I bet that looked spectacular. My only time flying in the area so far was during the daytime. I hope to come back someday and see what it looks like in the dark.
***** Use LGA on a PM arrival .Beautiful!
***** Republic Field and McArthur come to mind as well. Car rentals or L.I.R.R. from McArthur to N.Y.C. A flight into YYC to access Banff National park is another great flight.
Okay,i fly out off kmmu and somtimes i fly up the hudson.any how good luck on your journeys,fly safe .
I heard there was one time it was busier, they had to land a plane in the river. Just not enough space.
thanks Martin. Is that spark ignition coming through on the radio?
Yes, that's what it was, Rich. I have since then replaced the ignition harness, which made a big difference.

Loving your videos! Some of the best I've watched.Just a heads up Wilkes Barre is actually pronounced "Wilks Borough"
Thanks, Adam - I had no idea.
There's a lot left for me to explore and learn in the world.
Regards, Martin
Actually my wife went to PA School at Kings College there. Most of the ppl there pronounce it Wilkes BEAR 😉
Fun stuff! Thanks for all the work on the videos!

I took my first flying lesson from Teterboro back in 73'.
Nice - I bet the airport and air traffic were very different back then? Hard to imagine someone would do beginners training in Teterboro these days.
No, I believe it was "General Aviation", it was a long time ago.
Even back then it was busy. Take a lesson on a Saturday or Sunday and on your way back it was not unusual to be put in a hold pattern for 10 or 15 minutes.
Great idea to break down the video into smaller chapters so I can go back and review specific spots
By the way why to choose KTEB and not KMMU. I guess it will be sheper for you.
Because KTEB is closest to Manhatten. And because I've always wanted to. :-)

If you ever come back to kteb and you need fuel. Get your fuel from the fbo called (meridian) they have been hands down the cheapest price for fuel
I agree, Anthony. Meridian is where I went on this video.
I think the price today is 4.85 for jet a
Martin voce sabe me responder se é necessario 2 pilotos no jato legacy 600 ? se sim porque ?
Sorry, Paulinho - I speak English and German, and a little French - can you please repost in one of those?
ok Martin , can you tell me if it takes two pilots to operate the legacy 600 jet ?
I don't know if it's possible to get single pilot approval to fly the 600.
Nice!
good video need to look out the right side next time
Thanks, Don.
