anyone fly a Cessna 182 into Teterboro?

IFR or VFR?

I have been to Teterboro several time in a C172, as well as in a Bonanza.
Also, there is at least one flight school right on the field, so the
controllers are used to the slower, prop aircraft.

Familiarize yourself with the airport diagram ahead of time. Both of the
FBOs I have used (Signature and Millionare), as well as at least two others
are all located on the same side of the airport, the western most side.
All FBOs are costly, charging something like 45 dollars per day for
parking, first night waived if you buy their expensive (over $6) fuel.
Millionare has tiedowns, but I don't think Signature does, if you are
looking to stay for more than one night. I have no idea what hangar space
costs.

If you are going IFR and will be departing the airport IFR, I strongly
recommend also familiarizing yourself ahead of time with the Teterboro Five
departure procedure (the text of which is included in the link below).

Especially if ATC is using either 19 or 24 for departures, there are two
interim altitudes you cannot bust lest NY departure will get very upset.

Also, directly to the north of the airport is an almost 700 foot tall radio
tower. If you are coming from the west and are maneuvering for runway 19,
the tower will be very close to your left base leg, so be aware ahead of
time. Often the tower will mention this, but forewarned is forearmed.

As far as transportation into Manhattan, there is a New Jersey bus that
takes you into Port Authority Bus station that you can take for around
$2.00 per person. Assuming it is not rush hour in the work-day AM, this is
the most economical method in terms of cost and time for commuting into
NYC. All FBOs will drive you free of charge (tips optional) to the bus
stop at the north end of the airport, as well as pick you up when you call.

There is a train station nearby as well, which is a good way for commuting
during rush hour. This cost about $6.00 or so per person and requires a
transfer (a few stops away) before getting off at Penn Station. Again, the
FBO will drive you over to the station and pick you up when you call.

And finally, the other option is car service (no taxis unless you happen to
catch a NYC Yellow departing the area), which the FBO will arrange for you,
but this will run you $90 or so per car load.

I can post both the bus schedule and the train schedule links if you need
more information.
