SMA PLT ADVISED AFTER LNDG AT W29 BY FBO TO CALL CUSTOMS AND PCT FOR DC ADIZ VIOLATION NOTIFICATION.

Narrative

I HAD A FLT TO W29 FOR DINNER. I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE ARPT AND KNEW ABOUT THEIR ARR AND DEP PROCS FROM A FLT THAT TOOK PLACE ABOUT 2 YRS AGO AND PRIOR TO SEP/TUE/01. I DECIDED TO DEPART WITHOUT FILING A VFR FLT PLAN THRU THE SMYRNA VOR (ENO) WITH THE INTENTIONS OF CONTACTING DOVER APCH FOR ADVISORIES. BY MAINTAINING 2000 FT ENRTE; I KNEW I WOULD REMAIN WELL BELOW BWI'S 3500 FT AIRSPACE. AT APPROX 25 MILES FROM ENO I CONTACTED DOVER APCH AND ASKED FOR FLT FOLLOWING THRU ENO THEN DIRECT TO W29. DOVER GAVE ME A DISCRETE XPONDER CODE. WHILE UNDER THEIR SERVICE; WE WERE GIVEN ADVISORIES WITH AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF ADVANCE NOTICE. WE THEN WERE ADVISED; RADAR SVCS TERMINATED AND SQUAWK 1200. DOVER DID NOT GIVE ME A COURTESY HEADS UP THAT A LNDG CLRNC WAS NECESSARY IN ADVANCE OF GOING INTO AN AREA DESIGNATED AS DC ADIZ. MY WASHINGTON SECTIONAL; WHICH WAS CURRENT; DID NOT MAKE NOTE OF THIS CHANGE. I CONTINUED ON TO W29 GPS DIRECT. I ALSO CONTINUED TRACKING MY POSITION USING THE WOODSTOWN VOR (OOD) ENRTE. I ALSO CHANGED THE COM FREQUENCY TO W29. I COULD SEE THE WATER TWR ON THE SHORELINE; WHICH IS THE ENTRY POINT TO THE DOWNWIND LEG. ANOTHER ACFT RPTED HIS POSITION AT THAT POINT FOR AN ENTRY. AT THE WATER TWR I RPTED OUR POSITION AND THAT THE OTHER ACFT WAS IN SIGHT. WHILE ON THE DOWNWIND LEG THE FBO RPTED A HELI WAS APCHING AND WE SHOULD HOLD FOR THEIR LNDG. WE EXTENDED OUR DOWNWIND LEG AND CONTINUED FOLLOWING THE ACFT AHEAD OF US AND ADVISED HAD THE HELI IN SIGHT FOR RWY 29. WE LANDED AND TAXIED TO THE RAMP. IT WASN'T UNTIL WE RETURNED TO THE ARPT THAT THE FBO ADDRESSED OUR ACFT AND SAID CUSTOMS WAS LOOKING FOR US AND GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER. WHEN ASKED THE REASON HE ADVISED THAT WE NEEDED A CLRNC TO LAND THERE AND TO FILE A FLT PLAN BEFORE LEAVING. I CALLED AND DISCUSSED MY SURPRISE NOTIFICATION BY THE FBO. HE TOOK MY PERSONAL INFO; THEN ADVISED ME TO CONTACT PCT TRACON. I ALSO CALLED THEM AND COOPERATED WITH ALL THEIR QUESTIONS. I ALSO ADVISED I WILL FILE A CLRNC BEFORE DEPARTING. I WAS ADVISED THEY HAD A LOT OF SIMILAR PLTS WHO ENTERED WITHOUT A CLRNC. I THEN FILED A FLT PLAN AND RECEIVED A DEP CLRNC. I WENT BACK TO THE FBO AND ASKED HOW MANY NOTICES DID HE GIVE OUT THAT DAY. HE ADVISED ABOUT 10 OTHER PLTS WERE NOTIFIED THAT DAY AND THAT HE WISHED IT WOULD BE LIFTED. OUR RETURN AGAIN WAS THE SAME WITH CONTACTING DOVER APCH FOR ADVISORIES. I AM A GOOD CITIZEN AND PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY'S POSITION IN DEALING WITH HOMELAND SECURITY PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO DOING MY PART. THERE WAS NO HAND OFF ADVICE GIVEN TO A BWI APCH CTL FREQUENCY. IF I HAD MADE CONTACT WITH BWI APCH; I COULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED A CLRNC IS REQUIRED. THE FBO COULD HAVE OCCASIONALLY MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OVER UNICOM SO PLTS WHO ARE LISTENING COULD HAVE CONSIDERED OTHER OPTIONS RATHER THAN BE SURPRISED AFTER LNDG.
