Bizjet Crash at Teterboro, New Jersey
Reports of a crash near TEB, some say it is a Lear 35.
Plane Crashes at Teterboro Airport, Multiple Buildings on Fire: Police | NBC New York
A small plane crashed into a neighborhood in Carlstadt, New Jersey, while attempting to land at Teterboro Airport on Monday afternoon, according to the FAA.
Police said multiple buildings were on fire after the crash, and black smoke was seen rising above the crash site.
The FAA said the Learjet 35 was approaching Runway 1 at the airport at 3:30 p.m. when it went down in a residential area about 1/4 mile from the airport.
The flight departed from Philadelphia International Airport.
"There's nothing really left of the plane at all - you just see the two engines that are burnt up and stuff," one witness said.

Apparently N452DA, a Lear 35A with two crew onboard doing a circling approach to runway 1 at KTEB.
Wind given by the tower as 360/16G32.
The plane checks in about three minutes before the end of this recording:

Could be different crew, radar headings, etc. How would a systems issue as you've speculated go unnoticed?

I have about 1200 hr. in a Lear 25. My first thought is a yaw damper issue. It was a critical item during landing with the 25 series, don't know if the 35 was as squirrelery as the 25 was with the YD inop or disabled.

My gut says late turn to final based on the controller's comment about starting the turn. Overshot final, then buttonhooked back towards the runway with overbanking to compensate for the overshoot.
A recipe for disaster.

There's security camera video of it going in, the third video in this report: 2 Killed When Learjet Crashes In Carlstadt, N.J. « CBS New York
It's hard to tell but it seems to be at a high bank-angle (80-90 degrees) and say 40 degrees nose down. Perhaps consistent with the speculation above?
Lots of comments about the wind, many of dubious import, but one obvious observation is that the wind could have caused a misjudgment as to the turn, followed by the overcompensation described above.
But speculation is probably pointless; presumably this will be one that the NTSB/FAA can figure out.

One thing that made the Lear 35A squirrelly on landing was fuel in the tip tanks. It seemed the closer you got to the runway the more the roll and yaw axes wanted to couple in this condition.
About the only other idea would be a flap and/or spoilereron asymmetry when final flaps were selected after the circle, which was actually a dogleg from the runway 6 final course I would think.
This plane had Aeronca reversers. I think the other options on the 35A were Dee Howard's and none. Dee Howard's famous thrust reverser sales pitch: 'What's stopping you?'
Diverting around weather?

Flew that approach and the circle maybe a dozen times.
It's tight in on the best of days.

That whole area is a bit of a beehive with HPN, TEB, LGA, JFK and EWR all within sight of each other.
Departures on 24 out of TEB have a level off at 1500' as you get the heavy iron for EWR overhead.

Don't know if he overshot the runway center line, but he lost it on the turn to final. Looks like a classic stall/spin. One eyewitness said he saw the aircraft in a 90 degree bank, then saw it roll on its back as it went down.
Appears to have been a 4-leg day with a 0715 departure which means a wake-up around 0445-0500.
NTSB/FAA will generally request cellphone records to determine periods of inactivity to get an idea of rest opportunity.

A report on the owners of the aircraft:
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...erboro-airport
Trans-Pacific lists the following addresses on its website:
Trans-pacific Jets | Van Nuys Charter PlaneTrans-Pacifc Jets
The aircraft was being flown by Trans-Pacific Jets, a charter aircraft company based in Honolulu, the jet’s owner said in an interview. Chandra Hanson of Billings, Montana, said she owns the plane with her husband Brad. The Hansons fly on the aircraft, which is based in Salt Lake City, and allow it to be flown for hire when it’s not in use, Hanson said in a telephone interview.
The plane was being moved from Philadelphia to Teterboro, according to a person who answered the phone at Trans-Pacific who wouldn’t give his name.
Hanson said she and her husband own A&C Big Sky Aviation LLC of Billings, Montana, which is the registered owner of the plane, according to the FAA records

A friend of mine, who knows Lear Jets very well, told me this model has an inclination to Dutch Roll, if they switched off the part-time yaw damper prior to the turn to final.
