PLT OF AA5 GIVEN CLRNC BY CDW TWR IN CONTRADICTION TO SPECIAL OPS PROC IN NY ADIZ.

Narrative

IN NYC I CALLED THE WX BRIEF BRIEFER TO PLAN A VFR FLT PLAN FROM CALDWELL; NJ (CDW) TO CHERRY RIDGE; PA (N30). I FILED A FLT PLAN AND WAS TOLD TO GET AN ASSIGNED TRANSPONDER CODE ON THE GND AT CALDWELL AND CONTACT ATC ON TKOF; PROCEEDING FIRST TO STILLWATER VOR AREA BEFORE BEING CLRED TO HEAD TO N30 DUE TO NEW NATIONAL SAFETY RULES. STARTED ENG AT CDW; GOT TRANSPONDER CODE FROM CALDWELL GND. AT RUN UP AREA; ASKED GND WHAT ATC FREQ TO USE AFTER TKOF. THEY SAID STAY WITH THE CDW TWR. I SAID THE BRIEFER HAD SAID TO CONTACT ATC AND HEAD TOWARDS STILLWATER. THEY SAID I COULD HEAD STRAIGHT OUT AND STAY WITH TWR. FIGURING THESE WERE SPECIAL LOCAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CDW; I HEADED OUT TOWARDS N30 ON A 318 DEG COURSE. A FEW MINS OUT I RADIOED CDW TWR AND ASKED IF I SHOULD KEEP THE SPECIAL TRANSPONDER CODE ALL THE WAY TO N30. THEY SAID THE CHIEF IDEA WAS TO STAY UNDER AND CLR OF B AIRSPACE AND THAT ONCE OUT OF B I COULD SQUAWK VFR AND CONTINUE. DID ALL THAT. ON LNDG AT N30; ONE OF THE LOCAL PLTS CAME UP; AND SAID THE FAA WANTED TO TALK TO ME; DIALED THE NUMBER ON HIS CELL PHONE AND GAVE IT TO ME. THE GUY I TALKED TO SAID I HAD DONE THINGS IMPROPERLY; HOPEFULLY NOT IN TOO MUCH TROUBLE. YET TO HEAR. IM SURE WE ARE ALL; PLTS; BRIEFER; TWR; ETC CONCERNED WITH KEEPING THINGS SECURE AND SAFE. SO I'M WRITING THIS TO HELP MAKE SURE IN THE FUTURE WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.
