Narrative:
While approaching teterboro there was some discussion of shooting the VOR 24 DME approach with ny approach but as I looked the VOR 24 DME approach over I noticed you needed 1 mi visibility. So I requested the ILS 06 approach because ATIS was calling the visibility 1/2 mi. Every ILS I have ever shot has been 1 mi visibility for mins. So as I looked the approach over it didn't register that I needed 3/4 mi for the approach. I shot the approach and landed while ATIS was calling visibility 1/2 mi. I would have called the visibility about 1 1/2 mi when I broke out at DH. I never even noticed what had happened until I taxied in and walked into the FBO when a fellow pilot asked me how I got in. He was based at teb and knew the airport very well. I was unfamiliar with the airport. He then brought it to my attention that I needed 3/4 mi visibility. I believe that fatigue and turbulence distraction me from noticing visibility requirements.

HE WAS BASED AT TEB AND KNEW THE ARPT VERY WELL. I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ARPT. HE THEN BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTN THAT I NEEDED 3/4 MI VISIBILITY. I BELIEVE THAT FATIGUE AND TURB DISTR ME FROM NOTICING VISIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
