Here are my tips, some are redundant to other posts but here they are:
- Plan your fuel for early descents
- If weather puts any ILS as a main approach, is a nonevent, all standard procedures.
- If Weather is good, watch out for the VOR-DME A approach, mandatory descent altitudes are published because heavy jets arriving in la guardia, follow them. tight circle to land to runway 19, day or night back it up with the ILS to save some sweat.
-Airport diagram have hotspots well marked, crossing runways departures and arrivals are standard.
- Best outfitted FBO is Jet Center, but best service is Atlantic Aviation specially if you go trhu customs, the buildings are side by side. Jesse at Atlantic will help you out in anything you need.
- NY APP controllers are a PITA IMHO, bad temper and quite nonstandard phraseology, TEB TWR they do the best they can but are submitted to NY APP and TRACON so be patient.
- Get your ATC early, EDTC's are common in peak hours and delays occur frecuently, be it for weather or traffic.
-TEB 5 departure flies you below approaching airline jets, add this to the noise abatement procedures and one can easily overshoot altitudes, watch out.
- Take the area chart and the low altitude chart too, i've been in situations where they send you to routes or fixes which are structured on the low altitude routes and fumbling with charts in NY is not pleasant.
- Stay at either Courtyard marriott Lyndhurst or Secaucus, the secaucus one have a mall withing walking distance.
-Be brave, rent a car, get a map drive 17S and cross the bridges to manhattan and enjoy!
