Identity Of Co-Pilot Killed In Teterboro Plane Crash Released

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Officials have confirmed the identity of one of the crew members killed in the plane crash near Teterboro Airport Monday.

Jeffrey Allen was the co-pilot of the Learjet 35A that crashed into an industrial area in Carlstadt a quarter-mile from the airport, the Bergen County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed.

The medical examiner is working to confirm the second victim's identity, Bergen County spokesman Michael Pagan said.

An investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that it seemed as though the plane's approach to Teterboro was going alright until right before the crash.

The plane's data recorder was recovered from the plane's debris Tuesday. It was shipped to NTSB headquarters in Washington, D.C. for analysis. A preliminary report on the crash is expected in about a week, Jim Sillman, a NTSB investigator previously said.

The plane was reportedly "listing" as it approached runway 1, but surveillance footage taken nearby reportedly shows the plane on its side while crashing into the ground near the Carlstadt Department of Public Works building.

The plane was registered to a company called A&C Big Sky Aviation, of Billings, Montana, according to an FAA database.
