S76 CREW ENTERED NY ADIZ WITHOUT CLRNC; OR A DISCRETE XPONDER CODE.

Narrative

ON THE MORNING OF JUN/MON/03; I WAS ASSIGNED AS SIC ON WHAT IS A VERY ROUTINE FLT. THE CPR FLT DEPT TO WHICH I BELONG OPERATES IN AND AROUND THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA ON A DAILY BASIS. PERHAPS THAT IS WHY I MISSED THE DETAILS OF FDC 3/4662. THE NOTAM THAT MORNING READ 'FLT RESTR; ORANGE COUNTY; NEW JERSEY.' NORMALLY WHEN A GOV OFFICIAL IS IN TOWN; THE NOTAM READS 'FLT RESTR; NYC;' AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADDITIONAL NOTAM CLOSING ONE OF THE HELIPORTS. SOMEHOW I MISSED THE SIZE OF THIS TFR. OUR FLT WAS FROM OUR HOME OFFICE HELIPORT (MA68) IN SPRINGFIELD; MA TO THE W 30TH STREET HELIPORT (JRA) IN MANHATTAN. BECAUSE WE FLEW VFR AND 'FLT FOLLOWED' WITH OUR OWN DISPATCH OFFICE; WE WERE ABLE TO CIRCUMNAV BOTH THE LAGUARDIA AND NEWARK CLASS B AIRSPACE. AFTER CHKING THE AUTOMATED TERMINAL INFO SVC AT LAGUARDIA AND TETERBORO; WE FLEW INTO WHAT IS ON MOST DAYS; THE HUDSON RIVER CLASS B EXCLUSION. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE ADIZ ON EITHER OF THE ATIS BROADCASTS. AFTER A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG TO JRA WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE MAY HAVE PENETRATED THE 30 SM RING OF THE TFR ADIZ. I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE AND TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY. I WILL BE MAKING CHANGES TO MY PREFLT PLANNING PRACTICES. ADDITIONALLY; WE HOPE TO MAKE SOME POLICY CHANGES WITHIN THE FLT DEPT TO PREVENT THIS SORT OF THING FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 584802: THE INCURSION WAS DISCOVERED WHILE ON THE GND WHEN ANOTHER PLT ASKED IF WE HAD A DISCREET XPONDER CODE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT WHENEVER A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF A TFR THAT IT BE SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THE TEXT. I ALSO RECOMMEND THAT TFR'S BE INCLUDED IN THE HOURLY ATIS AT ALL CLASS D'S WITHIN AND JUST OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARIES OF A TFR/ADIZ. FINALLY; WOULD IT BE FRUITFUL TO ANNOUNCE THAT A TFR/ADIZ IS IN EFFECT ON GUARD EVERY COUPLE OF MINS?
