Eu me lembro de ouvir que treinamento especial era necessário para voar para a área de Washington DC e que isso não se aplicava a mim (talvez fosse apenas VFR?). Qual é o requisito e o que você deve fazer ao voar na área?
Há um curso de treinamento em FAASafety.gov que todos pilotos que operam vôos VFR dentro de 60 milhas de Washington DC devem tomar.
Desde que eu suponho que você está voando IFR, você não seria obrigado a levá-lo.
De AOPA :
All of the following operations are exempt from the training requirement:
- Pilots operating under instrument flight rules (IFR);
- Law enforcement, military, and aeromedical operations; and
- A pilot who must deviate to the extent necessary to address an emergency situation.
Você está correto.
Starting on February 9, 2009, any pilots flying VFR within a 60 nautical miles (110 km) radius centered on the ADIZ are required to complete training about the ADIZ. This training can be completed online through a course called "Navigating the New DC ADIZ". Pilots may also complete the required training by attending a seminar offered at a Flight Standards District Office. Pilots must obtain a certificate which proves that the training has been completed. This certificate is not required to be carried with the pilot, but must be produced when requested from law enforcement or other agencies. Pilots flying IFR are not subject to this requirement. [src]
Esta não é uma TFR, mas uma área de regras de voo especial permanente. Mais informações podem ser encontradas em aqui sobre voar em torno de DC em geral.
As regras específicas podem ser encontradas em FAR 91.161 :
(a) Operations within a 60-nautical mile radius of the Washington, DC VOR/DME under visual flight rules (VFR). Except as provided under paragraph (e) of this section, no person may serve as a pilot in command or as second in command of an aircraft while flying within a 60-nautical mile radius of the DCA VOR/DME, under VFR, unless that pilot has completed Special Awareness Training and holds a certificate of training completion.
(b) Special Awareness Training. The Special Awareness Training consists of information to educate pilots about the procedures for flying in the Washington, DC area and, more generally, in other types of special use airspace. This free training is available on the FAA's Web site. Upon completion of the training, each person will need to print out a copy of the certificate of training completion.
