Narrative:
On 05/wed/03, aircraft X was found to have entered the dc ADIZ without a discrete transponder squawk code or VFR flight plan. The pilot was aware of the ADIZ, however was not aware that the destination airport W29, fell under the affected area. The pilot had flown this route, ilg to W29, several times prior to the issuance of the dc ADIZ, all for the purpose of pleasure, which was also the purpose of this flight. Day VMC prevailed at the time of the incident. Upon arrival at W29, the pilot was notified to call pct TRACON. Upon calling, the pilot was notified of the violation, and that paperwork would be filed about the incident to the FAA. To conclude, if the pilot would have been aware that his path of flight would have taken him through the ADIZ, appropriate contact with FSS and ATC would have taken place.
