TEB Departure Procedures Have Changed We know that many of you fly out of Teterboro, and we want to keep you informed of changes to the Dalton 19 Departure. If you've created a flight plan out of TEB on FltPlan.com recently, you should have noticed a link on your Active Flight Plan List that reads Important - Rwy 19 Dalton Dep. Be sure to click on this link for departure procedure instructions to make sure you are up to speed on this climb out. Following proper procedure when requesting the Dalton 19 Departure is essential, as failure to comply will result in an FAA violation for the crew. While this procedure speeds the departure of aircraft out of TEB, this departure procedure is in jeopardy of being discontinued if the provisions are not consistently followed. If the Rwy 19 Dalton Dep is discontinued, you can expect longer delays coming out of TEB. Here is the link for more info: http://imageserver.fltplan.com/gif/KTEB_DALTON19_E.pdf For Premium Flight Trackers: If you've recently blocked your N number, let us know The May Barr List will be released in a few weeks. If you're a Premium Flight Tracker with FltPlan.com, and you've recently blocked your aircraft at the vendor level, be sure to let us know. Even if you were using FltPlan.com to track your blocked tail number before the NBAA's BARR program was canceled, it's important to touch base with us so you can live track and continue getting your notifications. Once you've submitted your paperwork to the FAA to block your tail number, please contact our office so that we can update our paperwork and reinstate your Premium Flight Tracking for those blocked tail numbers. You can send an email to Support@FltPlan.com. If you're not currently a Premium Flight Tracker but would like to be, we can help you with that, too. Premium Flight Tracking costs $14.95 a month and allows you to track up to 10 of your blocked tail numbers. Don't be fooled by high priced flight tracking companies charging over $700/yr to track just one blocked aircraft. FltPlan.com provides the same service for just $14.95/month for up to 10 aircraft.
