Narrative:

Private pilot from lafayette, in, flying to washington, dc, for business. I called terra haute FSS for advisories and additional information 5 days prior to flight. I was informed to stay out of the 'no fly zone' around washington, dc. I repeatedly requested information about special procedures flying into and out of W00. The ADIZ advisory was not given from terra haute FSS. I filed a VFR flight plan laf direct W00 the day of the flight and also received no ADIZ advisory, again told to stay out of the 'no fly zone.' flight to W00 was without incident. Leaving W00 on apr/mon/04, I checked WX, and asked local instructor for departure procedure. I was informed to contact potomac approach on 119.3. I took off runway 18, squawking 1200, contacted potomac approach on 119.3. Potomac approach advised us to return to departure airport and call FSS. I fully complied with the request. Using a local phone, I called potomac FSS and learned proper ADIZ procedures. Possible actions that could have avoided variance to ADIZ procedure: 1) pilot call in flight plan from local phone. My cell phone sent me to terra haute. 2) terra haute FSS should understand ADIZ better. 3) W00 have information sites for transient pilots.
