And part of that information which one receives in a standard
briefing for that part of the country is the fact that an ADIZ exists
over Washington, D.C.. It is patently obvious that the PIC either did
not get that information or chose to ignore it. So the FAA charges
him with failing to get the info and will sort it out in the hearings.

The ADIZs also appear on the sectionals. Current charts *are* required,
and would be a lot more useful than someone on the phone saying "don't go
there" before you depart. No question that this pilot was unable to
navigate adequately, and it makes me wonder what his last BFR was like
(having just gone through that myself a few days ago).
