FA50 CAPT CHRONICLES THE EFFECTS OF AN ARDUOUS DAY ON THE COMPETENCY OF HIS VOR-A APCH TO TEB.

Narrative

FLEW SLOPPY APCH AFTER HECTIC DAY. MENTAL FATIGUE CERTAINLY PLAYED A PART IN THIS. DAY STARTED WITH LATE REQUEST TO DEPART 1 HR EARLY. AIRPLANE HAD NOT BEEN DEICED AND TOWED INTO POS; AS PROMISED. FBO BROKE 11 CRYSTAL GLASSES. FLT ATTENDANT UPSET. EXTRA PAX SHOWED UP FOR THIS FLT. QUICK CALL TO CUSTOMS MADE. FINALLY TOOK OFF IN ICING CONDITIONS. GOT TO DEST AND HAD TIME CONSUMING CUSTOMS INSPECTION; WITH ALL BAGS CHKED. TOLD 3 HR ATC DELAY TO TEB DUE TO WINDS IN NEW YORK AREA. FLT PLAN FILING SVC DUMPED TEB FROM SYS. RE-FILED. WHEN AIRBORNE; THINGS WENT FINE. HOWEVER; WE RECEIVED VECTOR TO JOIN FINAL APCH COURSE INSIDE WANES. NORMALLY OK. HOWEVER; FLT DIRECTOR; WHICH WAS SET UP CORRECTLY; DIDN'T CAPTURE FINAL COURSE PROPERLY. VOR DME-A TEB. THE WAY IT CAPTURED WAS IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO CAUSE A HUGE OVERSHOOT OF INBOUND RADIAL. I MADE A CORRECTION TO THE OVERSHOOT; BUT IT WAS INSUFFICIENT. WE FLEW OVER THE FIELD MAYBE 1/2 MI N OF PROPER PLACE. NOT TOO BIG A DEAL; BUT I HAD ALSO BEEN LATE TO SLOW. TWR CALLED SPD 280 KTS. I SAW 230 KTS; THERE WAS A TAILWIND. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT 200 KTS OR LESS. TURNED DOWNWIND. INITIALLY SET UP FOR RWY 24; TWR HAD SAID EXPECT RWY 19. TWR ALERTED US TO THE FACT THAT WE APPEARED TO BE SET UP FOR WRONG RWY. RE-CORRECTED. MADE SMOOTH LNDG ON PROPER RWY. PAX WALKED OFF HAPPY. LESSON: DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN ON LONG STRESSFUL DAYS. WATCH YOUR EQUIP BETTER AND STAY ALERT.
