Narrative:

Following the VOR/DME-a approach into teb, tower cleared us to pass overhead the field at 1500 ft for left traffic to land runway 19. Overhead the field, we received clearance to land runway 19. The first officer was flying and began to make a descending left turn towards the runway. Due to the close proximity of the approach ends of runway 19 and runway 24, and the first officer's unfamiliarity of teb (only about 60 hours in model and been to teb only 1 other day), the first officer initially lined up on the runway 24 lights. After we both realized and agreed the line-up was not correct, we began adjustments to line up with runway 19. However, tower called for a go around due to an aircraft on runway 24. The first officer began to execute the published missed approach. Tower asked if we wanted to stay with him or go back to departure. I requested to stay with him for sequencing into runway 19. Passing 1700 ft for 2000 ft as indicated on the published missed approach procedure, tower immediately descended us to 1000 ft for traffic separation. I took controls and flew a 1000 ft downwind for runway 19 since I had runway 19 in sight. We landed uneventfully after that. Teb is a challenging airport -- especially at night with pilots not very familiar with the visual cues associated with landing there. I recommend pilots brief the close proximity of the runway 19 and runway 24 approach ends and be very vigilant while operating at teb when either or both pilots have limited experience operating there. Supplemental information from acn 570610: corrective actions suggested are: 1) restrs for pairing of pilots new in position together, 2) utilization of the ILS to runway 19 or vectors to final approach course at teb for night approachs, 3) installing company training for teb as a special operations airport, and 4) utilization first officer 2 sets of approach plates (maybe electronic format) by company to keep both pilots oriented curing approachs/night operations. If 2 sets of plates are not feasible, having the approach plate in front of the PF.

Title: C560 LNDG TURNED FINAL FOR RWY AT TEB.

Narrative: FOLLOWING THE VOR/DME-A APCH INTO TEB, TWR CLRED US TO PASS OVERHEAD THE FIELD AT 1500 FT FOR L TFC TO LAND RWY 19. OVERHEAD THE FIELD, WE RECEIVED CLRNC TO LAND RWY 19. THE FO WAS FLYING AND BEGAN TO MAKE A DSNDING L TURN TOWARDS THE RWY. DUE TO THE CLOSE PROX OF THE APCH ENDS OF RWY 19 AND RWY 24, AND THE FO'S UNFAMILIARITY OF TEB (ONLY ABOUT 60 HRS IN MODEL AND BEEN TO TEB ONLY 1 OTHER DAY), THE FO INITIALLY LINED UP ON THE RWY 24 LIGHTS. AFTER WE BOTH REALIZED AND AGREED THE LINE-UP WAS NOT CORRECT, WE BEGAN ADJUSTMENTS TO LINE UP WITH RWY 19. HOWEVER, TWR CALLED FOR A GAR DUE TO AN ACFT ON RWY 24. THE FO BEGAN TO EXECUTE THE PUBLISHED MISSED APCH. TWR ASKED IF WE WANTED TO STAY WITH HIM OR GO BACK TO DEP. I REQUESTED TO STAY WITH HIM FOR SEQUENCING INTO RWY 19. PASSING 1700 FT FOR 2000 FT AS INDICATED ON THE PUBLISHED MISSED APCH PROC, TWR IMMEDIATELY DSNDED US TO 1000 FT FOR TFC SEPARATION. I TOOK CTLS AND FLEW A 1000 FT DOWNWIND FOR RWY 19 SINCE I HAD RWY 19 IN SIGHT. WE LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AFTER THAT. TEB IS A CHALLENGING ARPT -- ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WITH PLTS NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE VISUAL CUES ASSOCIATED WITH LNDG THERE. I RECOMMEND PLTS BRIEF THE CLOSE PROX OF THE RWY 19 AND RWY 24 APCH ENDS AND BE VERY VIGILANT WHILE OPERATING AT TEB WHEN EITHER OR BOTH PLTS HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE OPERATING THERE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 570610: CORRECTIVE ACTIONS SUGGESTED ARE: 1) RESTRS FOR PAIRING OF PLTS NEW IN POS TOGETHER, 2) UTILIZATION OF THE ILS TO RWY 19 OR VECTORS TO FINAL APCH COURSE AT TEB FOR NIGHT APCHS, 3) INSTALLING COMPANY TRAINING FOR TEB AS A SPECIAL OPS ARPT, AND 4) UTILIZATION FO 2 SETS OF APCH PLATES (MAYBE ELECTRONIC FORMAT) BY COMPANY TO KEEP BOTH PLTS ORIENTED CURING APCHS/NIGHT OPS. IF 2 SETS OF PLATES ARE NOT FEASIBLE, HAVING THE APCH PLATE IN FRONT OF THE PF.
