REFLECTOR: [c-a] Protest permanent implementation of the Washington Air Defense Identification Zone.

[Chuck Jensen]

I'm forwarding this from the canard.list.  Perhaps it's been on the
Reflector, but if not, take 10 minutes to let the Regulators know that
this isn't such a great idea.  Even if one doesn't fly in the DC area,
it's still a bad precedent.  Every major city will suffer from ADIZ
envy, then they'll be everywhere.

Protest permanent implementation of the Washington Air Defense 
Identification Zone.

Protest now or see it near an airport near you in the future.

This alert went out to all 406,000 AOPA members on Oct. 5 and by 
Saturday afternoon more than 1,200 fresh protests had been registered. 
The flurry pushed the total number of comments registered on the 
controversial Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
<http://dms.dot.gov/search/document.cfm?documentid=341297&docketid=17005
> 
(NPRM) to a little more than 2,000. Deadline for submissions is Nov. 2. 
AOPA President Phil Boyer said the concern is two-fold.

1.  He said the ADIZ is an exaggerated response to the minimal threat 
posed by light aircraft. He claims the capital has all the protection it

needs from the 15-nm flight restricted zone (FRZ) around Washington. The

3,000-square-mile ADIZ causes operational and economic disruption, not 
to mention dramatically increasing a pilot's chances of being shot down.

2.  But such an action paves the way for costly, confusing flight 
restrictions within the footprint of every Class B airspace around the 
country." AOPA contends that other cities are considering asking for 
similar "protection" and this NPRM could be the catalyst.
