| AOPA wants
to be sure you are aware that there have been updates to pilot
requirements in your area. Please take note and ensure that you
have taken the new, FAA-required online training course to meet
these requirements.
Since February 9, 2009, pilots who fly within 60 nautical miles of
the Washington, D.C. (DCA) VOR - even if they do not fly into the
SFRA (formerly the ADIZ) - must have completed the online
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training course. The FAA
mandated this new training to ensure that all pilots flying near
Washington, D.C., are familiar with the special requirements and
operational responsibilities associated with this area.
In order to comply with this new requirement, you need to take these
two steps:
1. Take the FAA's Navigating the DC Special Flight Rules
Area* online course at
www.aopa.org/adizfaa.
2. Show your FAA course completion certificate, if
requested, within a reasonable time.
*If you have taken this course
under it's previous titles (Navigating the New DC ADIZ or
Navigating the DC ADIZ, TFRs, and Special Use Airspace), you
have fulfilled this requirement and there is no need to complete the
course again.
