Washington ADIZ NOTAM To Be In Effect On February 10

In response to the Code Orange security level, an Air Defense Identification 
Zone (ADIZ) will be established on Monday, February 10 at 6:00 AM ET 
overlaying Class B airspace around Washington DC and including an area 30 
miles south of Washington. Operators will be required to file a VFR or IFR 
flight plan, transmit their assigned transponder code and be in radio contact 
with ATC in order to enter the ADIZ. The TSA has released the part of the 
forthcoming FAA NOTAM that defines the coordinates of the ADIZ:
