vfr departure Airport sponsor published verified 2026-08-28 (42 d ago)
Published by the airport sponsor; voluntary unless ATC assigns it. If ATC assigns this route to you in Class B, C or D airspace, that assignment is an ATC instruction and compliance is required (14 CFR 91.123) — and “unable” remains available to the pilot in command.
Named runway 19 VFR departure with transition to IFR: right to 280°, at or below 1,300 ft, turn complete within 2.4 DME. Must be requested by name.
The route
- Pilots must be familiar with the Dalton Two and fly it precisely, and must specifically request it from ATC prior to departure
- To avoid conflicting traffic, after departure turn right to 280°; maintain at or below 1300 ft; complete the right turn within TEB 2.4 NM DME
- Maintain VFR at or below 1300 ft MSL; do not exceed 180 KTS — careful airspeed management may be required to complete the turn
- Do not exceed 1300 ft MSL or go south of the 2.4 NM DME arc unless instructed by ATC
- Expect a climb clearance west of the EWR ILS RWY 22 final approach course; that clearance constitutes IFR activation
- In the event of lost communication prior to IFR activation, squawk 7600 and maintain VFR
- Weather minimum requirement is a 3,000 ft ceiling and 3 SM visibility
Where it actually is
North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.
- 1 Departure end of RWY 19, at or below 1,300 MSL RWY 1 threshold (south end) South end of 1/19. Departing runway 19 you lift off down here; runway heading 195 magnetic / 183 true. satellite Apple Maps coordinate: FAA airport record (NASR), surveyed runway threshold
- 2 Begin the right turn to 280 degrees Depicted 0.5 NM out on runway heading. The handbook fixes the turn by the DME arc, not by a distance straight ahead. satellite Apple Maps
- 3 Rolled out on 280, inside the 2.4 NM DME arc Depicted 2.3 NM from the field on 280 magnetic (267.5 true at the 2026 WMM declination of 12.5W). The arc itself is the limit, not this point. satellite Apple Maps

Put it in the GPS
Route points become a route; reference points ship as waypoints only — a GPS that sequences you to a do-not-overfly marker has it backwards.

Source text, verbatim
RUNWAY 19 DALTON TWO DEPARTURE VFR departure with transition to IFR shortly after takeoff. Recommended to minimize departure delays. Weather minimum requirement is 3000 ft. ceiling and 3 SM visibility. Pilots MUST BE FAMILIAR WITH THE DALTON TWO AND FLY IT PRECISELY. Pilots MUST SPECIFICALLY REQUEST THE DALTON TWO FROM ATC PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. 1) To avoid conflicting traffic, after departure turn right to 280°. Maintain at or below 1300 ft.. Complete the right turn within TEB 2.4 NM DME. 2) Maintain VFR at or below 1300 ft. MSL. Do not exceed 180 KTS. Careful airspeed management may be required to complete the turn, depending on takeoff weight and/or aircraft performance. 3) Do not exceed 1300 ft. MSL or go south of the 2.4 NM DME arc unless instructed by ATC. 4) Expect a climb clearance west of the EWR ILS RWY 22 final approach course. The climb clearance constitutes IFR activation and pilots are expected to resume normal airspeed. Expect control instruction to a departure fix as described in the published TEB SID. 5) In the event of lost communication prior to IFR activation, squawk 7600. Maintain VFR.
