Narrative:
I was not aware of the washington ADIZ and violated it. I planned and flew from poughkeepsie (pow) ny to greenville downtown airport, greenville, sc. At cruise altitudes above 10000 ft using GPS direct, but in full knowledge, I should have deviated west, or right off course to adequately clear the washington tfr. After WAC chart center of gravity-21 study, frederick VOR was selected as a point along the route that would assure clearance from P-40 and the white house tfr. I was not aware of an ADIZ existing within the continental us boundaries. Though I was briefed on tfr's, knowledge of this ADIZ was missed. Is this ADIZ going to be published on charts?
