TRAPPED IN D.C. WITHOUT A RADIO OR TRANSPONDER? Not only is the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) impractical for VFR flying, many operators are grounded because of the inability to comply with the ADIZ squawking and talking requirements. AOPA continues to work with federal officials to provide relief for those who are trapped. As a result of discussions, the FAA and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) are considering a "flush" procedure to allow trapped aircraft operators to relocate outside the ADIZ area. Although details have not been finalized, we need to hear from you as soon as possible. <A title=mailto:WashingtonADIZ@xxxxxxxx href="mailto:WashingtonADIZ@xxxxxxxx";>E-mail AOPA</A> and indicate the airport where you are based. Please copy me on the e-mail as well. Ed Levine
