I'm guessing that at Teterboro, one would typically be
vectored and stepped down to intercept final. But that's just a guess.

Not based on my experiences in a Bonanza there over the summer. If
weather allowed, Teterboro would often use the VOR/DME-A approach (which
reads like it might have been the approach in use during Freeman's'
flight).

NY Approach would vector aircraft to WANES at 3,000 ft, then clear the
aircraft for the approach at that point. Once cleared, obviously, the
aircraft was able to descend at the pilot's discretion upon crossing
WANES to 2,500.

When issuing the approach clearance, NY approach (again, based on
several flight into there over the summer) would often throw in an
additional requirement for smaller aircraft to cross CLIFO (the FAF) at
1,500, whereas the jet aircraft would receive the restriction to cross
CLIFO at 2,000.
