BUILDINGS
- Nineteen
hangars on the airport have a total area of approximately 412,000
square feet.
- Two
large office buildings centrally located, one at 90 Moonachie
Ave and the other on Fred Wheran Drive, which houses the Department
of Homeland Security. Both buildings occupy a total area of 133,418
square feet.
- Additional
office and shop space with a total area of 165,611 square feet.
- An
operations building, maintenance facility and two fuel farms.
CONTROL TOWER - The control tower was constructed on the east side of the airport by the FAA and went into operation on October 29, 1975.
RUNWAYS
-
Runway 6-24 is 6,015 feet long and 150 feet wide,
equipped with High Intensity Runway edge Lights (HIRL).
Runway 6 approach has an Instrument Landing System (ILS)
and a Medium Approach Lighting System-R (MALS-R). Runway
24 approach is equipped with both VASI (Visiual Approach
Slope Indicator) and REIL (Runway End Indentification
Lighting) systems.
-
Runway 1-19 is 7,000 feet long and 150 feet wide, equipped
with HIRL. Both runways 1 and 19 are equipped with REILS systems.
Runway 1 approach is equipped with a VASI system. Runway 19
approach has an ILS. Runway 1-19 was overlaid and grooved in
the summer of 2000, and included the installation of centerline
and touchdown zone lighting. Runway 1 is the preferred runway
for noise abatement procedures.
TAXIWAYS - Approximately 4.2 miles of taxiways exist on the airport. Most are 60 feet wide and many are equipped with centerline lighting systems.
ENGINEERED MATERIALS ARRESTING SYSTEM
Another critical step in our quest to identify and develop innovative improvements to improve safety at Teterboro Airport includes the installation of the Engineered Materials Arresting System, or EMAS. This technology, which was pioneered by the Port Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration, is comprised of beds of specially designed aerated cement blocks. These blocks crumble under the weight of an aircraft enabling a plane to stop safely and quickly in the event of an emergency.
The first installation on the north end of Runway 6/24 was commissioned in October 2006. Another EMAS installation is planned for the south end of Runway 1/19, and will take place after the relocation of a local street.
