SFRA (formerly the Washington, DC ADIZ)
GAI is located on the edge of the Washington, DC SFRA,
so familiarity with the correct procedures is REQUIRED.
Navigating within the SFRA is not tough, and it is something one
of our many instructors can help you learn (after you read the
NOTAM
of course). Additional information on the SFRA can be found on
the AOPA
site.
SFRA Procedures
Check the sites below for more information. As always, this is
no substitute for reading the NOTAM
or Flight Rule yourself.
