U.S. to U.S. Penetrate ADIZ (Gulf of Mexico)

Asked by: 6846 views , ,
Airspace

If departing St. Pete (KPIE) direct New Orleans (KMSY) IFR, you would be departing a domestic airport, and arriving at a domestic airport, but if you flew direct, you would penetrate an ADIZ (twice). Are the procedures for departing and arriving domestic with ADIZ penetration in the middle the same as departing the US, and then arriving again as if you went international? Note this would be IFR.

Thanks!

    Any transit through ADIZ requires a Defense VFR (DVFR) or IFR flight plan. The only acception is when the destination is within 10 miles of the departure. See AIM section 5-6-1 for further information.

    Thanks, that was my guess. But as I’m going IFR, do I still have to go through the process of filing everyone eApis and declaring my departure time and informing customs, or will just filing an IFR flight plan cover me?
     
    Thanks for the reply!

    “or will just filing an IFR flight plan cover me?”
     
    You’re covered with the IFR/DVFR flight plan. Customs is there for when you land outside the US or depart from outside the US to arrive within the US.  In these cases you would need to schedule a visit with customs and land at an airport that had customs services.
