Narrative:

I flew with a flight instructor from cdw to mgj to practice instrument approachs at mgj. I called millville FSS that morning to file my ADIZ flight plans for out of and into the ny ADIZ. At approximately XA00 local, I called cdw ground for my clearance to taxi and transponder code. I was given my clearance and a transponder code. We departed shortly thereafter. Due to frequency congestion with ny approach, cdw tower had us stay with them until clear of the ADIZ. I was under the hood, and my cfii was watching for traffic. At some point in time, the cfii said that we were clear of the ny ADIZ, and that I should call cdw tower and tell them that we would like to squawk 1200, which I did . Cdw tower acknowledged, and gave us permission to squawk 1200 and change frequencies. At around XB30 local, I called ny approach on 132.75 to get my clearance to re-enter the ny ADIZ. They gave me a transponder code and said to fly direct to cdw. Upon landing, I called millville FSS to inform them I was on the ground. Millville requested I call them because they said ATC was running out of transponder codes. After I landed, I found out that at around XA15 local, ny TRACON left a message on my home answering machine for me to call them. I called around XD00 the ny TRACON supervisor told me that they tracked me flying in the ny ADIZ and that I may not have had the proper clearance. I told him that I disagreed, and provided him my transponder codes and times I called FSS. He said that as long as what I provided him was accurate, this would not be pursued any further. The situation still bothered me, so I called ny TRACON again at around XD40. After I gave the person my tail number, he reiterated the information that I provided earlier. He said that there would be no violation against me. I tried to ascertain from him more details on why they thought I was in violation, did I squawk 1200 to soon, was my transponder malfunctioning, was their a mix-up between tower and ny approach, but he kept on responding that I did have the proper clearance. In the future, I will confirm with ATC that I am clear of the ADIZ prior to squawking 1200.

Title: AFTER RTN LNDG FROM TRAINING FLT, STUDENT AND CFII CHALLENGE N90 NOTIFICATION OF NY ADIZ PENETRATION. THOUGH WITHDRAWN, STUDENT REQUESTS, BUT DOES NOT RECEIVE, PROCEDURAL JUSTIFICATION.

Narrative: I FLEW WITH A FLT INSTRUCTOR FROM CDW TO MGJ TO PRACTICE INSTRUMENT APCHS AT MGJ. I CALLED MILLVILLE FSS THAT MORNING TO FILE MY ADIZ FLT PLANS FOR OUT OF AND INTO THE NY ADIZ. AT APPROX XA00 LCL, I CALLED CDW GND FOR MY CLRNC TO TAXI AND XPONDER CODE. I WAS GIVEN MY CLRNC AND A XPONDER CODE. WE DEPARTED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. DUE TO FREQUENCY CONGESTION WITH NY APCH, CDW TWR HAD US STAY WITH THEM UNTIL CLR OF THE ADIZ. I WAS UNDER THE HOOD, AND MY CFII WAS WATCHING FOR TFC. AT SOME POINT IN TIME, THE CFII SAID THAT WE WERE CLR OF THE NY ADIZ, AND THAT I SHOULD CALL CDW TWR AND TELL THEM THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SQUAWK 1200, WHICH I DID . CDW TWR ACKNOWLEDGED, AND GAVE US PERMISSION TO SQUAWK 1200 AND CHANGE FREQUENCIES. AT AROUND XB30 LCL, I CALLED NY APCH ON 132.75 TO GET MY CLRNC TO RE-ENTER THE NY ADIZ. THEY GAVE ME A XPONDER CODE AND SAID TO FLY DIRECT TO CDW. UPON LNDG, I CALLED MILLVILLE FSS TO INFORM THEM I WAS ON THE GND. MILLVILLE REQUESTED I CALL THEM BECAUSE THEY SAID ATC WAS RUNNING OUT OF XPONDER CODES. AFTER I LANDED, I FOUND OUT THAT AT AROUND XA15 LCL, NY TRACON LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY HOME ANSWERING MACHINE FOR ME TO CALL THEM. I CALLED AROUND XD00 THE NY TRACON SUPVR TOLD ME THAT THEY TRACKED ME FLYING IN THE NY ADIZ AND THAT I MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE PROPER CLRNC. I TOLD HIM THAT I DISAGREED, AND PROVIDED HIM MY XPONDER CODES AND TIMES I CALLED FSS. HE SAID THAT AS LONG AS WHAT I PROVIDED HIM WAS ACCURATE, THIS WOULD NOT BE PURSUED ANY FURTHER. THE SIT STILL BOTHERED ME, SO I CALLED NY TRACON AGAIN AT AROUND XD40. AFTER I GAVE THE PERSON MY TAIL NUMBER, HE REITERATED THE INFO THAT I PROVIDED EARLIER. HE SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE NO VIOLATION AGAINST ME. I TRIED TO ASCERTAIN FROM HIM MORE DETAILS ON WHY THEY THOUGHT I WAS IN VIOLATION, DID I SQUAWK 1200 TO SOON, WAS MY XPONDER MALFUNCTIONING, WAS THEIR A MIX-UP BETWEEN TWR AND NY APCH, BUT HE KEPT ON RESPONDING THAT I DID HAVE THE PROPER CLRNC. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL CONFIRM WITH ATC THAT I AM CLR OF THE ADIZ PRIOR TO SQUAWKING 1200.
