Question

Choose the correct statement when cleared for the ILS Rwy 6 approach at Teterboro, NJ (KTEB) while outside the VINGS intersection at 2000 feet.

1) Maintain 2000 feet until glideslope intercept.
2) Ask ATC if you can just maintain 2000 from VINGS until GS intercept prior to reaching DANDY.
3) Upon passing VINGS, descend to cross DANDY at 1500 feet, then to 1300 to intercept the glideslope at the LOM.
4) Maintain 2000 until DANDY then descend to 1300 feet to intercept the glideslope.

Answer 1

The correct statement when cleared for the ILS Rwy 6 approach at Teterboro, NJ (KTEB) while outside the VINGS intersection at 2000 feet is to descend to cross DANDY at 1500 feet and then to 1300 feet to intercept the glideslope at the LOM.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement when cleared for the ILS Rwy 6 approach at Teterboro, NJ (KTEB) while outside the VINGS intersection at 2000 feet is option 3) Upon passing VINGS, descend to cross DANDY at 1500 feet, then to 1300 to intercept the glideslope at the LOM.

When cleared for the ILS approach, pilots are given specific altitude restrictions and instructions to follow in order to safely navigate the approach. The key instructions in this scenario are to descend to cross DANDY at 1500 feet and then descend to 1300 feet to intercept the glideslope at the LOM.

Maintaining 2000 feet until glideslope intercept (option 1) or maintaining 2000 feet until DANDY and descending to 1300 feet (option 4) are not the correct instructions given in this situation.
