| File the defense VFR or ADIZ flight plane then. The main thing is that you are not ever within 5nm of the boundry of and ADIZ line squaking 1200. You MUST be squaking a code given to you under the DVFR flight plan. I would definetly have flight following through the entire flight and also listen to 121.50 on your other comm. Another thing to note would be to file the flight plan with the FSS associated with the airport near or within the ADIZ you are travelling to and not your local FSS. Review your intercept procedures too. It's not a big deal but if you end up in near the ADIZ squaking 1200 and not talking to anyone plan to be in big time trouble. Good luck and get your most recent NOTAM's on www.airnav.com

Just talked to a buddy that got a 60 day suspension for squawking 1200 in the Washington ADIZ.
This is what he said happened
they where on a visual approach into, I believe Gaithersburg MD. He tells the FO. to cancel IFR. ATC comes back and says cancellation received squawk 4256 contact Gaithersburg on BLA BLA BLA. the FO squawks 1200 out habit, (when issued a clearance like that), they land, the FBO manager tells the captain he needs to call The approach controller. He does... 60 days.
Remember to keep the current squawk in the transponder till landing.
Jeeum if you can file IFR do that
