POSSIBLE TFR VIOLATION BY A LOW TIME C172 PVT PLT E OF TEB; NJ.

Narrative

INITIALLY; I HAD PLANNED A XCOUNTRY FLT TO PROVINCETOWN; MA (PVC); DEPARTING TEB AT XA00Z; FOR WHICH I PREPARED A FLT PLAN AND RECEIVED A DUAT WX BRIEFING. DUE TO STREET TFC AND DISPATCH DELAYS AT THE FBO; MY DEP WAS DELAYED TO ABOUT XA50Z. THE WX FORECAST (NOW INDICATING 4 SM VISIBILITY FROM XC00Z); HOWEVER; COMBINED WITH THE DELAYED DEP MADE ME RETHINK MY PLANNED RTE OF FLT; SINCE I ABSOLUTELY WANTED TO AVOID VFR NIGHT FLT IN MARGINAL VFR CONDITIONS. I THEREFORE DECIDED; IN LIEU OF THE PLANNED XCOUNTRY FLT; TO DO A SHORT LCL FLT SEBOUND; IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN MY RENTER CURRENCY AT THAT FBO. I CHKED THE WX AND NOTAMS FOR THE NEW RTE OF FLT; SEBOUND ALONG THE HUDSON RIVER TOWARDS BLM. DURING THE APCH BACK INTO TEB; I TOOK THE HUDSON CLASS B EXCLUSION NBOUND; MAINTAINING AN ALT OF 1000 FT MSL IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN SEPARATION FROM THE OVERLYING CLASS B AIRSPACE. ABOUT 7 MI SE OF TEB; AFTER RECEIVING THE CURRENT ATIS INFO; I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT TEB TWR FOR LNDG INSTRUCTIONS. THE CTLR APPEARED TO BE VERY BUSY AT THE TIME AND FROM THE ATIS INFO; I ANTICIPATED ARR INSTRUCTIONS FOR RWY 24. TEB CLASS D AIRSPACE BEGINS AT THE WESTERN SHORE OF THE HUDSON RIVER; WHICH I COULDN'T ENTER WITHOUT ESTABLISHING 2-WAY COMS WITH TEB TWR. THEREFORE; I DECIDED TO CONTINUE NBOUND ABOVE THE HUDSON RIVER TOWARDS THE ALPINE TWR (WHICH LINES UP FOR A STRAIGHT IN APCH FOR RWY 24). THE TWR GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS TO PROCEED STRAIGHT-IN FOR RWY 24; THEN ASKED ME TO MAKE A R 360 DEGS; WHICH I DID. AFTER THAT; I WAS CLRED FOR LNDG ON RWY 24. I WAS AWARE OF THE FACT THAT A GAME WAS SCHEDULED AT YANKEE STADIUM FOR THAT NIGHT; AND I KNOW THE CONTENT OF FDC NOTAM 3/1862. HOWEVER; SINCE THE LOCATION OF YANKEE STADIUM IS NOT SHOWN EITHER ON THE NEW YORK VFR TERMINAL AREA CHART; OR ON THE NEW YORK SECTIONAL CHART; AND THERE WAS NO RADIAL/DISTANCE NOR LATITUDE/LONGITUDE GIVEN IN ANY SPECIAL TFR; I WAS UNAWARE OF THE FACT THAT I COULD POSSIBLY VIOLATE A TFR WITH THIS RTE OF FLT. I LATER REALIZED; THAT; EVEN THOUGH I WAS APCHING TEB ARPT FOR LNDG; BY FLYING UP THE HUDSON RIVER AT THAT TIME (APPROX XB50Z) WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH TEB TWR; I MAY HAVE VIOLATED A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE TFR AROUND YANKEE STADIUM.
