 The
new boundaries of the Air Defense Identification Zone come into
effect at 1 a.m. EDT, August 30, 2007, and those who fly in that
airspace should have a look at the new NOTAM to make sure they’re
familiar with how it affects their flying. In addition to the almost
circular shape of the ADIZ, which is 30 nm in radius from the
Washington VOR, there are procedural changes for operating inside
that space (see below). There’s also a 60-nm outer ring in which a
speed limit of 230 KIAS has been imposed. The limit is 180 KIAS
within the ADIZ. [more] While the Leesburg Airport appears to be cut
out of the northwest quadrant of the ADIZ, going in and out of that
field has its own rules and regulations and they’re outlined in the
new NOTAM. AOPA says the new ADIZ is an improvement but it still
wants to see changes to make it less restrictive on pilots and on
the airports within it. The new boundaries do, however, free up
1,800 square miles of airspace and 33 airfields.
