NTSB ADVISORY ************************************************************ National Transportation Safety Board July 15, 2008 ************************************************************ NTSB INVESTIGATING TWO RECENT RUNWAY INCURSIONS AT TETERBORO AIRPORT ************************************************************ is investigating two runway incursions that occurred at each other. NTSB Air Traffic Control Investigator Daniel incidents. * On June 25, 2008, at 5:34 a.m. (EDT), a
runway incursion occurred at Learjet 45, Windrider flight 988, landed on a closed runway.
Runway 1/19 had been closed by airport operations at
5:05 a.m. A lighted X, indicating that the runway was
closed, was placed at the departure end of the runway. Additionally, the controller placed two runway
incursion devices, which are memory aides to remind the tower controller of the closure, at the local control
position. However, the controller did not notify the approach control facility, New York Terminal Radar Approach Control, of the runway closure. Twenty-seven minutes after the closing of the runway,
the approach controller called the tower controller to request a visual approach to runway 19 for flight
988. The tower controller approved the request. The
airplane flew over two employees who were working north of the displaced threshold of runway 19 and landed on the runway. The automatic terminal information service information
"H" did not include the closed runway. * On July 9, 2008, at 10:10 a.m. (EDT), a
Cessna 172 (N316AS) and, a Dessault Falcon 200 (N277QS) were also
involved in a runway incursion at The Cessna landed on runway 19 and requested a back
taxi to the approach end of runway 19 for departure.
The ground controller instructed the pilot to taxi to
runway 19 via taxiway L and to hold short of runway 19.
However, the pilot was not instructed to hold short of
runway 24, which intersected runway 19. The airplane had crossed the hold line for runway 24
but not over the runway edge when the tower controller cleared the Falcon for takeoff on runway 24. The
tower cancelled the Falcon's clearance once it was
determined that the Cessna was across the runway hold line.
The FAA reported the two airplanes were 1,200 feet apart. The incident occurred during the day shift with a
front line manager and two air traffic control specialists
on position. The preliminary reports are on the Board's web site. -30- NTSB Media Contact: Terry N. Williams
