Suggested Lunch Stops "Near" Washington, D.C.?

Also, I have just started researching this ADIZ flight plan stuff. One
fellow who wrote me off-line referred to "VOR gateways" into the ADIZ,
which implies that there are set "routes" via VORs through the ADIZ into
Dulles. Is this correct, or (once I've been assigned a discrete squawk
code and have my ADIZ flight plan activated) can I fly GPS direct from
the point where I enter the ADIZ straight into Dulles?

Thanks for your help!
Good morning, Jay,


There are gateways into the ADIZ though they aren't published. I believe
that EMI, BELAY and GOLDA to the north and east are 3 of them. You can call
FSS and they can give them to you when you file. There are no set "routes"
as far as I know.

Once you get your squawk (note: they won't "clear" you into the ADIZ so
don't ask) you may or may not be cleared direct, depends on when you hit the
Class B, where in the Class B you enter and what arrival/departure routes
they're using. If you're destination was outside the Class B (under it) you
would usually be cleared direct.
