Washington D.C. AirspaceFlying into the ADIZDeparting from the ADIZPattern Work in the ADIZVisual Warning SystemOther ADIZ Information
The Washington D.C. Area
Parts of Special D.C. Airspace
Flight Restricted Zone Also called the “Special Flight Rules Area”. Generally speaking, you may not operate within the
Flight Restricted Zone.
Air Defense Identification Zone Generally, operations in the ADIZ are subject to the
following conditions:• An NAS flight plan must be filed on the ground.• The flight plan must be activated (with ATC).• You must be squawking an a discrete transponder code.
There are exceptions to the above.
ADIZ Entry Requirement #1Flight Plans
Prior to operating an aircraft in the DC ADIZ, pilots must:
File their flight plan with an AFSS. Activate their flight plan prior to departure or
entering the DC ADIZ. Close their flight plan upon landing or leaving
the DC ADIZ.
ADIZ Entry Requirement #2Communications with ATC
Your aircraft must be equipped with an operable two-way radio capable of communicating with ATC on appropriate radio frequencies.
The flight crew must establish two-way radio communications with the appropriate ATC facility before operating in this ADIZ and the flight crew must maintain the capability of continuing two-way radio communications with the appropriate ATC facility while operating in this ADIZ. Aircraft operating in an airport traffic pattern at non-towered
airports are exempt from the ATC communication requirements, provided they monitor the airport CTAF.
ADIZ Entry Requirement #3Transponders
The aircraft is equipped with an operating transponder with automatic altitude reporting capability as specified in 14 CFR section 91.215.
Prior to operating the aircraft in the ADIZ, the flight crew obtains a discrete transponder code from ATC.
The Aircraft’s transponder continuously transmits the ATC issued discrete transponder code while the aircraft is operating in this ADIZ.
ADIZ Entry Requirement #4Airspace
Class B Get a normal clearance in
addition to ADIZ procedures.
Class D Establish two-way radio
communications, as normal, in addition to ADIZ procedures.
Restricted Airspace Stay out.
Prohibited Airspace Stay out.
Flight Restricted Zone Stay out.
The flight crew, prior to operating within Class B, C or D airspace that is within the ADIZ must receive a separate ATC clearance to enter the Class B, C or D airspace.
Flying VFR into the ADIZ
File an NAS Flight Plan Specify that you are penetrating the
Washington D.C. ADIZ. File the route that you intend to fly.
Prior to entering the ADIZ: Contact Potomac Approach and
request a “discrete transponder code for ADIZ penetration.
Squawk the appropriate code, and listen for “RADAR Contact”.
Continue squawking the code until you are on the ground or clear of the ADIZ.
Close your flight plan with FSS.
“Potomac Approach, this is Warrior 8321H, ten miles southwest of Lancaster VOR level 2,000 feet, with an ADIZ flight plan on file for Gaithersburg. Request discrete transponder code for ADIZ penetration.”
“Potomac Approach, this is Warrior 8321H, ten miles southwest of Lancaster VOR level 2,000 feet, with an ADIZ flight plan on file for Gaithersburg. Request discrete transponder code for ADIZ penetration.”
Landing or Transitioning?
Landing in the ADIZ? You will be “handed off” to CTAF or tower when near
the destination airport. Continue squawking your code until you are on the
ground. Close your flight plan with the correct FSS!!!
Transitioning the ADIZ? You will be advised when you are clear of the ADIZ. Don’t forget to close your flight plan with the correct
FSS!!!
Departing VFR from within the ADIZ
File an NAS Flight Plan Specify that you are penetrating the Washington D.C. ADIZ. File the route that you intend to fly.
Activate the NAS Flight Plan through: Clearance Delivery, or Flight Services RCO, or 1-800-WX-BRIEF
While departing: Set your transponder code, and put the transponder in “ALT”
mode. From a Towered Airport, talk to tower until handed off to
Potomac Approach. From a non-towered airport, talk to CTAF and change to
approach as soon as possible. Close your flight plan with FSS when appropriate.
Fringe Airports
There are special departure rules for the following “fringe” airports: Airlie Albrecht Harris Martin Martin State Meadows Mylander Stewart St. John Tilghman Whipp Upperville Wolf
Departure Checklist No flight plan required. Squawk 1205. Use CTAF to announce
your departure. Monitor Potomac
Approach. Exit the ADIZ by the most
direct route possible while:• Adhering to the pattern.
• Following any noise-abatement procedures.
These procedures are for departures only and are subject to change. Check NOTAM’s.

Bay Bridge Airport You do not need a flight
plan. Remain below the floor of
the Class B airspace. Fly the published routes. Use CTAF normally. Stay inside the carve out. Squawk 1227.
Kentmore Airport You do not need a flight
plan. Remain below the floor of
the Class B airspace. Fly the published routes. Use CTAF normally. Stay inside the carve out. Squawk 1233.
Local Pattern WorkTowered & Non-Towered Airports
Pattern work at Towered Airports No flight plan required. Squawk 1234.
Pattern work at non-Towered Airports File a Flight Plan. Squawk the assigned
discrete beacon code. Use CTAF as you
normally would. Close your flight plan
when done.
You do not need to talk to Potomac Approach, but DO NOT leave the pattern!!!

The Visual Warning System
What is it? The Visual Warning System is a series of Laser's
stationed around the National Capital Region. They are used to alert aircraft that are violating the
ADIZ. They will NOT damage a persons eyes.
How it works. The beam is aimed at the penetrating aircraft. If you see the beam, you are probably being
targeted.
RED RED GREEN
The Visual Warning System What if I’m illuminated?
If you’re talking to ATC: Tell ATC that you are
being illuminated. Follow instructions.
If you are not talking to ATC: Turn away from the center
of the ADIZ. Tune to 121.5Mhz. Talk to ATC and request
instructions.
Even if you comply, you will probably be intercepted by the military, and face certificate action.
Even if you comply, you will probably be intercepted by the military, and face certificate action.
For Instrument Pilots
How it works: File and obtain your clearance normally. You must get your clearance on the ground.
• You may not pick up your clearance in the air.
Who is responsible? ATC has been known to vector or clear IFR aircraft
into security airspace. ATC has been known to issue approach clearances
that violate airspace. At least one aircraft with failing equipment has
almost been shot down (Gov. Fletcher).
Emergency Procedures
What if my transponder fails? Leave the ADIZ by the most direct route (airspace
permitting).
What if I lose Comm? Squawk 7600. Fly your filed route. Don’t be alarmed if you have an escort. If you think you are being intercepted…
Presidential TFR’sWhat does a TFR look like?Where can I operate?How do I activate my flight plan?
A “Typical” Presidential TFR
Inner Zone20NM
Outer Zone60NM
Surface
FL 180
Where can I Operate?
Inner Zone Generally speaking, you may not
operate within the inner zone.
Outer Zone Operations in the outer zone are
subject to several conditions.• You must be on an IFR or VFR
flight plan.
• You must be in radio communications with ATC.
• You must be squawking a discrete transponder code.
• You must be conducting an approved operation.
NOTE:This procedure seems to change, on occasion. Consult NOTAM’s and always get a briefing.

How do I enter the TFR?
Airborne: File a Flight Plan. Contact ATC prior to entry. ATC may pass you off to
the controlling facility. Squawk your discrete
code. Ensure you are RADAR
identified before penetrating the outer area.
Squawk your code until clear of the TFR or all the way to the ground.
Close your flight plan!!!
On the Ground: File a Flight Plan. Call Clearance Delivery, if
available. Call Flight Services if CD
is not available.• Use an RCO if available.• Use the phone if you
must (call 1-866-295-3835).
Squawk your discrete code before takeoff.
Squawk your code until clear of the TFR or all the way to the ground.
Close your flight plan!!!

Lost Procedures
How do you keep from getting lost?How do you know when you’re lost?What to do when you’re lost?
How do you keep from getting lost?
Flight Plan Calculate a Dead Reckoning route, and follow it. Use Pilotage to support Dead Reckoning.
Equipment If your airplane is GPS equipped, use it. If your airplane is VOR equipped, fly VOR to VOR. Always have a redundant plan.
Use Services A briefing will tell you if facilities are out of service. ATC will probably tell you if you’re “heading off into
the puckies”.
How do you know when you’re lost?
Pilotage and Dead Reckoning Do you see what you expected to see? Is your heading what you expected it to be? Be cynical.
Equipment How do you know your GPS works? Identify your VOR’s, and use the indicators.
Air Traffic Control Use RADAR services when available.
What to do when you’re lost?
Climb High altitude improves visibility and radio reception.
Conserve Save gas.
Communicate Find somebody who can help you
• Center, Approach, FSS or 121.5
Confess Admit to ATC that you are lost, and ask for their
help.Cooperate
Relax and (when safe) do as you’re told.
Intercept Procedures
How do you know when you’ve been intercepted?What are your immediate actions?How to communicate?Visual communications.
Have I been intercepted?
What types of aircraft are used for intercepts? Military
• Fighter Jets• Helicopters
Law Enforcement• Business Jets
Signs of Intercept Official aircraft operating in your vicinity. Aircraft flying in formation with you. Aircraft dispensing flares.
Intercept: Immediate Actions
If you think you’ve been intercepted: Follow instruction from Intercepting Aircraft
• Instructions from Interceptor overrule instructions from ATC.
Notify ATC. Establish Communications with the aircraft:
• Try “Guard” first. (121.5 or 243.0)• Ask ATC for help if needed.
Squawk 7700 If you are intercepted by a jet, and you’re flying a
slow airplane, use best forward speed.
Communications Methods
Four ways to communicate with the Interceptor. Establish direct communications on guard.
• 121.5 or 243.0.
Use ATC as an intermediary. Hand Signs
• Consider carrying paper and markers.
Visual Communications
Visual Communications
What does it mean when: The intercepting aircraft rocks it’s wings from a
position slightly above and ahead of, and normally to the left of, the intercepted aircraft?
You have been intercepted. Follow Me.
How do you respond? Rock your wings to acknowledge. Follow the interceptor to a new course.
Visual Communications
What does it mean when: The intercepting aircraft abruptly executes a break-
away maneuver from the intercepted aircraft consisting of a climbing turn of 90 degrees or more without crossing the line of flight of the intercepted aircraft.
Intercept over – You may proceed.
How do you respond? Rock your wings to acknowledge. Continue on your way.
Visual Communications
What does it mean when: Circles an airport, lowering landing gear and
overflying runway in direction of landing or, if the intercepted aircraft is a helicopter, overflying the helicopter landing area
Land here.
How do you respond? Lower you landing gear. Turn on your landing light. Overfly the runway. If the runway is safe, land.
Visual Communications
What if you can’t land there?: Raise your landing gear (if fitted). Flash landing lights while passing over the landing
surface at a height:• If a helicopter, at a height exceeding 50m (170 ft) but not
exceeding 100m (330 ft) above the airport.• Otherwise, exceeding 300m (1,000 ft) but not exceeding
600m (2,000 ft) above the airport. Continue to circle the landing surface. If unable to flash landing lights, flash any other lights
available.
Visual Communications
What if I can’t comply? Flash all lights in a REGULAR pattern.
What if I’m in distress? Flash all lights in an IRREGULAR pattern.
Thank You
