crossing within the same state (i.e., coastline of Florida to
Florida Keys).
The ADIZ is an area of airspace in which ready
identification, location, and control of civil aircraft is
required in the interest of national security. FAR 99,
“Security Control of Air Traffic,” outlines procedures for
aircraft operation associated with an ADIZ. Sectional charts
may carry a variety of notations regarding the ADIZ, from

instructions (“Report to FAA Radio prior to entering ADIZ”).
But some sectional charts displaying coastal or border areas
have no instructions or information at all.
Pilots operating aircraft into, within, or across an ADIZ
