C560XL FLT CREW HAS A THRUST REVERSER PROB AND DECLARES AN EMER AND LANDS AT TEB.

Narrative

WHILE IN CRUISE FLT AT FL330 ENRTE FROM FULTON COUNTY; GA (FTY) TO TETERBORO; NJ (TEB); WE EXPERIENCED A THRUST REVERSER ARM LIGHT AND A FLASHING MASTER WARNING. MEMORY ITEMS WERE COMPLETED FOLLOWED BY THE APPROPRIATE CHKLIST. DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A THRUST REVERSER DEPLOYMENT INFLT; THE PIC (PF) DECIDED TO DECLARE AN EMER. HE ALSO DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE FLT TO THE DEST (TEB). I AGREED WITH THIS DECISION FOR SEVERAL REASONS: WE WERE ALREADY ESTABLISHED ON THE ARR (JAIKE1) AND WERE AT FL330. WE SHOWED ONLY ABOUT 20 MINS TO DEST AND REASONED THAT IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO LAND AT THE DEST OR AT A CLOSER ARPT. IN REALITY; IT TOOK CLOSER TO 30 MINS TO LAND AT TEB BECAUSE WE HAD TO SLOW TO 200 KTS DUE TO THE ABNORMALITY. SINCE EVERYTHING WAS SET UP FOR AN ARR AT TEB AND WE WERE DEALING WITH AN ABNORMALITY; I FEEL THAT WE DID THE RIGHT THING NOT ADDING ANY ADDITIONAL TASKS (PULLING CHARTS FOR ANOTHER ARPT; SETTING UP ANOTHER APCH; ETC); AT THE EXPENSE OF BEING IN THE AIR AS A 'PRIORITY ACFT' FOR MAYBE ANOTHER 10 MINS. THE FLT LANDED AT TEB WITHOUT INCIDENT.
