Narrative:
I was the PNF and first officer. During the ILS 4R approach into ewr, several times the localizer needle showed fluctuations. We didn't know at the time, but the glide slope signal was not being received below about 1000' MSL, but was sitting still in the center. After about 1 minute, we realized that signal was no longer a good one. We started to miss the approach just before local control asked what was wrong. When we contacted departure on the missed approach, they complained that we had waited too long and had better initiate a higher rate of climb to avoid teb arrivals. The lesson: slightest chance of trouble, miss the approach. Disregard the company and its schedule.

Title: COMMUTER SMT WAS SLOW AND LATE ADVISING N90 OF MISSED APCH CAUSING UNAUTH PENETRATION OF TEB ATA.
Narrative: I WAS THE PNF AND F/O. DURING THE ILS 4R APCH INTO EWR, SEVERAL TIMES THE LOC NEEDLE SHOWED FLUCTUATIONS. WE DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME, BUT THE GLIDE SLOPE SIGNAL WAS NOT BEING RECEIVED BELOW ABOUT 1000' MSL, BUT WAS SITTING STILL IN THE CENTER. AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE, WE REALIZED THAT SIGNAL WAS NO LONGER A GOOD ONE. WE STARTED TO MISS THE APCH JUST BEFORE LOCAL CTL ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG. WHEN WE CONTACTED DEP ON THE MISSED APCH, THEY COMPLAINED THAT WE HAD WAITED TOO LONG AND HAD BETTER INITIATE A HIGHER RATE OF CLIMB TO AVOID TEB ARRIVALS. THE LESSON: SLIGHTEST CHANCE OF TROUBLE, MISS THE APCH. DISREGARD THE COMPANY AND ITS SCHEDULE.
