Narrative:
While on approach into teterboro; we were cleared for a left base for a visual approach to land runway 6 at teterboro. We were cleared to land runway 6 when we were approximately 4 mi left base. Shortly after; the tower cleared a falcon to land runway 6. We then confirmed the clearance to runway 6. The tower responded that we were cleared to land runway 6. As we started our turn to final; the tower controller informed us that there was a cherokee 6 at our 1 O'clock position. I then found the aircraft to be located approximately 500 ft to 1000 ft in front of us and maybe 100 ft lower than us; in which case I crossed the final approach course in order to miss the cherokee. I then paralleled the final approach course until the traffic was clear and then proceeded to land. This near miss occurred approximately 1.1 mi from runway 6. The cherokee was only transitioning through the area at maybe 900 ft MSL.

Title: LJ35 FLT CREW ON VISUAL APPROACH TO RWY 6 AT TEB REPORTS CONFLICT WITH CHEROKEE 6 AT 900 FEET AND 1.1 NM FROM TEB.
Narrative: WHILE ON APCH INTO TETERBORO; WE WERE CLRED FOR A L BASE FOR A VISUAL APCH TO LAND RWY 6 AT TETERBORO. WE WERE CLRED TO LAND RWY 6 WHEN WE WERE APPROX 4 MI L BASE. SHORTLY AFTER; THE TWR CLRED A FALCON TO LAND RWY 6. WE THEN CONFIRMED THE CLRNC TO RWY 6. THE TWR RESPONDED THAT WE WERE CLRED TO LAND RWY 6. AS WE STARTED OUR TURN TO FINAL; THE TWR CTLR INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A CHEROKEE 6 AT OUR 1 O'CLOCK POS. I THEN FOUND THE ACFT TO BE LOCATED APPROX 500 FT TO 1000 FT IN FRONT OF US AND MAYBE 100 FT LOWER THAN US; IN WHICH CASE I CROSSED THE FINAL APCH COURSE IN ORDER TO MISS THE CHEROKEE. I THEN PARALLELED THE FINAL APCH COURSE UNTIL THE TFC WAS CLR AND THEN PROCEEDED TO LAND. THIS NEAR MISS OCCURRED APPROX 1.1 MI FROM RWY 6. THE CHEROKEE WAS ONLY TRANSITIONING THROUGH THE AREA AT MAYBE 900 FT MSL.
