ASTRA CREW HAD COCKPIT PAPERWORK CONFUSION ON DEP AT TEB.

Narrative

RECEIVED DEP CLRNC AND COPIED FULL RTE ON OUTSIZED PIECE OF PAPER; NOT ON NORMAL PAD BECAUSE THE FULL RTE WAS FROM TEB-BFI (SEATTLE) DEP CTL FREQ WAS 119.2. DID NOT SET UP DEP CTL FREQ ON NORMAL PRESELECT FREQ PAGE OF RADIO REMOTE TUNER; BECAUSE OF INTERRUPTION AND FORGOT TO DO IT LATER. THE DEP FREQ WAS OVERLOOKED IN THE TAXI CHKLIST WHEN WE REVIEWED THE DEP. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS NOT REVIEWED. THE COPLT ASSUMED ON TKOF THAT THE INCORRECT FREQ SET IN THE REMOTE TUNER FROM A PREVIOUS EVENT WAS THE CORRECT ONE. THE CORRECT FREQ AS COPIED IN THE CLRNC HAD FALLEN TO THE COCKPIT FLOOR. CONFUSION REIGNED AS WE WENT BACK TO TWR FOR 119.2. WE REMAINED AT 1300 FT MSL PER THE SID UNTIL ACQUIRING DEP CTL ON 119.2. PART OF THE PROB LIES IN THE ORIGINAL CLRNC ON THE TEB 2 SID. WE NEEDED RWY 19; WHICH CAUSED A CHANGE TO THE DALTON SID WHILE TAXIING. THE NEW FREQ FOR DEP WAS ASSIGNED AND I AM NOT SURE IT WAS PRESET OR IF IT WAS; THEN NO ONE ANSWERED. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A LOW FLYING HELI WHICH CAME NEAR OUR FLT PATH. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A CONFLICT. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BEING GEAR UP; NORDO UNDER TFC INTO EWR. DISCUSSED ABSOLUTE NEED TO BRIEF ALL ASPECTS OF DEP INCLUDING PROPER FREQ ASSIGNMENT.
