CONGRESS EXPECTED TO QUESTION THE WASHINGTON ADIZ
Congress will make security officials explain the continuing need for the Washington Metropolitan Area Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) when it returns from its summer recess. Included in the FAA Reauthorization Bill is AOPA-backed language that requires the secretary of transportation to report every 60 days on why the ADIZ is still needed and what steps the FAA is taking to smooth operations within the zone. "We've used this tactic before," said AOPA Senior Vice President of Government and Technical Affairs Andy Cebula. "At the end of 2001, some three months after the September 11 terrorist attacks, similar language requiring the government to justify the continuing existence of enhanced Class B airspace led to its eventual removal."
