There's also a VFR departure, not printed in all the charts. They have a copy of it at the FBOs we've been to. I think we were in Atlantic. Its been some months since I was last there. Worth having a copy of that departure - we first came across it when it was sprung on us at the holding point.... A bit of frantic scrabbling through the plates produced nothing, so the guy read it out to us, and we were able to depart with out the 1.5 hr delay. Altho' its a VFR only departure, you are still on the IFR flight plan.

If you are staying in TEB and having to drive, I highly recommend you arm yourself with a Nuvi or some other kind of driving GPS. Certainly for us folks more used to the quieter roads of the midwest, driving in NJ and NY is quite a shock to the system.
