Narrative:
An aerostar departed IFR from teb on the RUUDY4 departure. I heard teb call in the speaker that the aerostar was on the wrong transponder code. Since I was busy at the time with other traffic; the aerostar did not check in until there was an opening. I advised him to reset his transponder. Subsequently; the flm came to me and told me that they were going to look at the situation because it appeared that the aerostar did not comply with the SID and there may have been an incident with the newark final landing runway 22L. I advised the pilot of the aerostar of a possible pilot deviation and gave him the telephone number to call. While the onus is on the pilot to comply with the SID; this happens so often in the newark area that the problem may indeed be the SID.

Title: N90 Controller described a probable pilot deviation involving an aircraft assigned the RUUDY4 SID off TEB; the reporter speculating that the SID itself might be the problem.
Narrative: An Aerostar departed IFR from TEB on the RUUDY4 departure. I heard TEB call in the speaker that the Aerostar was on the wrong transponder code. Since I was busy at the time with other traffic; the Aerostar did not check in until there was an opening. I advised him to reset his transponder. Subsequently; the FLM came to me and told me that they were going to look at the situation because it appeared that the Aerostar did not comply with the SID and there may have been an incident with the Newark final landing Runway 22L. I advised the pilot of the Aerostar of a possible pilot deviation and gave him the telephone number to call. While the onus is on the pilot to comply with the SID; this happens so often in the Newark Area that the problem may indeed be the SID.
