good news for east coast pilots
The Washington, DC ADIZ shrunk a little bit. Its now sort of a modified 30 nm ring around the DC VOR. Theres even a cut-out for Leesburg, Va [Godfrey Field]. A little victory-Ill take it!

The new ADIZ (red circle) will lie within the old ADIZ.
Abbreviated description and procedures are:
Size and location: 30-nm radius centered on 38-51-34 degrees N and 077-02-11 degrees W or the DCA VOR/DME
From surface up to 17,999 feet
Operating requirements for the D.C. ADIZ/general procedures:
Pilots may operate in the DC ADIZ if they follow the procedures detailed below:
Must be equipped with two-way radio and maintain two-way radio communication with ATC before entering and while operating in the D.C. ADIZ.
Monitor Guard if capable on 121.5.
Must be equipped with operable transponder with altitude-reporting capabilities (Mode C or S).
Prior to departure from an airport within the ADIZ, or before entering the ADIZ, file and activatean IFR or for VFR, a D.C. ADIZ flight plan. D.C. ADIZ flight plans will be automatically opened when pilot obtains a discrete code and closed upon landing within the ADIZ or exiting the ADIZ.
Obtain and continuously transmit a transponder code from ATC until clear of the D.C. ADIZ, or until landing at an airport within the D.C. ADIZ. Do NOT squawk 1200 at any time while in the D.C. ADIZ.
All VFR aircraft operations in the D.C. ADIZ are restricted to an indicated airspeed of 180 knots or less, if capable. In unable, pilot must contact ATC and advise of operational limitations.
Must obtain Class B clearance before operating in Class B airspace and must establish two-way communication with ATC before entering Class D airspace.
VFR D.C. ADIZ traffic pattern operations at towered airports:
VFR traffic pattern operations are allowed at an airport with an operating control tower if the following conditions are met:
Request closed pattern work before departure.
Remain in two-way radio communication with the tower.
Squawk 1234 at all times while in the traffic pattern.
Monitor Guard on 121.5 if able.
Prior to exiting the pattern, the normal D.C. ADIZ procedures outlined in Section 2, Part 1 of the notam must be followed.
VFR D.C. ADIZ traffic pattern operations at nontowered airports:
VFR traffic pattern operations are allowed at an airport without an operating control tower if the following conditions are met:
File a D.C. ADIZ flight plan for pattern work.
Obtain and squawk a discrete transponder code.
Communicate pattern position via the CTAF.
Monitor Guard on 121.5 if able.
Prior to exiting the pattern, the normal D.C. ADIZ procedures outlined in Part 1 of the notam must be followed.
