TEB Ground Workers Get Close-Up Look At Landing Lear

And The FAA Wants To Know How That Happened

The FAA is investigating why an air traffic controller at Teterboro Airport allowed a Learjet to land on a closed runway just as two workers were preparing to put down the big, lighted "X" sign.

The jet passed 150 feet over the asphalt repair workers, who were beside the runway in a vehicle. The incident came to light after The New Jersey Star-Ledger received a anonymous tip from a caller, and then confirmed the details with the FAA.

The FAA says Flight 988, a Lear 45 operated by Jetrider International, landed shortly after 5:30 am EDT on June 25, more than 30 minutes after Runway 1-19 was shut down for maintenance work.

Seven minutes earlier, regional air traffic controllers had requested and received permission from the local controller at Teterboro for the jet to land.

The FAA has classified the incident as an operational error, and it's not clear whether the fully-certified controller on duty at the time will face repercussions.
