Mike and Larry,

You mentioned "intent" items of which I was not aware when I drafted my
post: knowing about the ADIZ and that he carried a passenger without
being in compliance with recency of experience. Assuming both of those
were true, an ASRS report would not have helped the guy.

Most of the time an airspace error results in a suspension - usually
it's a pilot who knows about the airspace and slips up in navigating
and clips the edge (I'm aware of a couple where the pilot knew about it
but had figued the wrong center point of the airspace on a presidential
TFR so the edge was clipped and none of the pilots knew that had they
been on even a VFR flight plan with assigned transponder code that the
radius of concern for them dropped from 30 to 10 miles) - or fails to
check and get the information about a TFR. I had not seen a revocation
on an airspace violation, but then the guy who flew over DC really
screwed the pooch and IMHO the revocation was fully deserved.

All the best,
Rick
