from AVWeb:
"Frankly, we're a bit frustrated that pilots are still violating it,
and we don't know why," the FAA's William Shumann told AVweb
yesterday. "It's on the charts, it's on our Web site."
*Is* the DC ADIZ on the charts? Not on websites, on actual VFR
sectionals
and TACs?
No, the ADIZ is NOT charted. The FRZ is. It shows up as a big white
spotch centered over DC.
I got into a discussion with a representative of NACO at one of the local pilots
meetings. They claimed they couldn't put temporary stuff on charts. I pointed
out that was nonsense because:
1. Nobody has indicated the ADIZ is temporary. They did chart the FRZ which is
no less transient.
2. They have put TFR's on the chart before. We even had a special issuance of the
DC TAC and Sectionals denoting the TFR's during the preliminary rounds of the
Olympic soccer matches held in the area.
If they can make an exception for a few weeks during the Olympics, why can't they
fix the *@#$@ charts when it's supposed important to national security.
