G200 Skids off of TEB Runway into Mud

[Fblowjets]

I am just a young fledgeling and told I don't know much
by my X-MotoroXX Captain, but is it not true that most or all jets have a 10 knot tail wind limitation for landing?

Your fired!

I used 20kts as a high number, I have seen some high number tail winds at TEB, when a perfectly good (open) headhead runway was available, but no one was landing on it.
What is an X-MotoroXX Captain? and I'm sorry you got fired.

There in lies the problem. DON't LAND ON IT.

I'm cruising into TEB a year or so ago...frontal passage the night before, next morning CAVU with wicked west/northwest wind and plenty of LLWS.

Guess the runway in TEB?

You guessed it....24. Had a slight shift to a more NW and requested rwy 6. Was told that folks were using 24 and why we wanted 6. HEADWIND you IDIOT.....

After a very quick comment that EWR's configuration wasn't my problem, we asked where he'd like us to hold while he sorted it out...

Couple 360's and we're on downwind for 6. No biggie.

I have been flying into these shhhitty airports nearly my entire professional career, and I can honestly say that when I'm headed to TEB, MDW, PWK, and several others, I'm landing with a headwind, or they can refuse me and i'll take it up later.

Simple stuff keeps the metal from getting bent.....

yup, finally someone gets it.

Didn't realize a G-II was a "small plane".

That's the media for ya! If it's anything other than a "Jumbo 747 Jetliner" it's a small plane...

Glad everyone walked away.

they're not if you're talking to a gulfstream pilot. gulfstreams are the biggest and most complicated planes in the world if you talk to them. you don't even have to ask them - they'll tell you anyway. if you're talking to an airline pilot they're tinker toys.

so what happen with the G-200 in TEB? The pic looked like they went off the side, not the end

Hey LJ, where did you find the picture?

Later that day, around 3pm, a CJ2 or CJ3 taxied off of the taxiway into the grass/mud. Left main sunk to the gear door, and the nose gear was just off of the taxiway. Must have been something in the water up there that day!
