In an ADIZ for IFR or DVFR operations, what is required?

• A. Two-way radio and transponder; report positions and fly within tolerance
• B. No radio or transponder required for IFR operations
• C. Two-way radio only; no transponder needed
• D. Transponder only; no radio required

Answer: (A)

In an ADIZ, ATC must be able to identify you before you enter, so two-way radio communication and a functioning transponder are required for IFR or DVFR operations. You’ll file the appropriate flight plan and establish contact with ATC, who assigns a discrete transponder code to be squawked. You must report your position at the specified points and fly within the published position-reporting tolerance, so ATC can continually identify and track you. This combination ensures you’re properly identified and where you’re supposed to be as you enter and operate inside the ADIZ.
