I wouldn't think so John, but you are up there in what I call the "Big Three" , KJFK, KEWR, and KLGA. I fly into KTEB at least once a week, and NewYork Center does a great job there keeping adequate separation. But, I'd still contact your local tower there at Essex (973-575-6448 or 973-575-4149) and, as always, ask if they're busy first. If not, explain your intentions to them and see what they say. Mention you are a pilot too, and get the name of the controller you speak to for future reference. I think if you agree on location and altitude limits you should be ok. Most controllers are great people, but you and I already know that dealing with them.By the way, on the B4UFly app, I've got a bundle load of heli-ports showing...... are they expecting me to contact all the helipad operator ports (in addition to the Class D I'd be flying under)?
John.
