Narrative:

I filed a tfr arrival flight plan with jyo FSS at XA45 am local time per special pilot reporting procedure, departing W79 and landing at vkx. I listened to the entire recording before 'pressing 1' for a preflight briefer. Although I was aware of the washington, dc ADIZ by force of habit I filed a standard tfr arrival flight plan which would be activated at 2w5. This 'pick up' point was confirmed by the FSS. At 3 miles south of 2w5 I contacted pct approach on frequency 125.65. Upon contact I was informed I had violated the ADIZ and should have contacted approach before entering the airspace. The controller also informed me an F16 would be appearing off my right wing. I confirmed visual contact of the F16 with approach once it had arrived above and to my right and began a left 360 degree turn. Approach informed the F16 pilot that I had a flight plan on file to land at vkx, at which time I was cleared to vkx. Shortly after my landing a us customs helicopter landed and I was questioned by (4) custom agents. I was informed by one agent to contact the pct TRACON. I called pct TRACON and answered questions pertaining to my name, address, phone number, and pilot's certificate number. Circumstances leading to the infraction: this was my first local flight since jan/sun/03. This was my first since the inception of the ADIZ. Very experienced with the tfr procedures for departure and arrival at vkx. Jyo FSS confirmed my flight plan activation point at 2w5. Clearly pilot's responsibility, a reminder that 2w5 was inside the ADIZ could have prevented the violation.

Narrative: I FILED A TFR ARR FLT PLAN WITH JYO FSS AT XA45 AM LCL TIME PER SPECIAL PLT RPTING PROC, DEPARTING W79 AND LNDG AT VKX. I LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE RECORDING BEFORE 'PRESSING 1' FOR A PREFLT BRIEFER. ALTHOUGH I WAS AWARE OF THE WASHINGTON, DC ADIZ BY FORCE OF HABIT I FILED A STANDARD TFR ARR FLT PLAN WHICH WOULD BE ACTIVATED AT 2W5. THIS 'PICK UP' POINT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE FSS. AT 3 MILES S OF 2W5 I CONTACTED PCT APCH ON FREQ 125.65. UPON CONTACT I WAS INFORMED I HAD VIOLATED THE ADIZ AND SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED APCH BEFORE ENTERING THE AIRSPACE. THE CTLR ALSO INFORMED ME AN F16 WOULD BE APPEARING OFF MY R WING. I CONFIRMED VISUAL CONTACT OF THE F16 WITH APCH ONCE IT HAD ARRIVED ABOVE AND TO MY R AND BEGAN A L 360 DEG TURN. APCH INFORMED THE F16 PLT THAT I HAD A FLT PLAN ON FILE TO LAND AT VKX, AT WHICH TIME I WAS CLRED TO VKX. SHORTLY AFTER MY LNDG A US CUSTOMS HELI LANDED AND I WAS QUESTIONED BY (4) CUSTOM AGENTS.

CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO THE INFRACTION: THIS WAS MY FIRST LCL FLT SINCE JAN/SUN/03. THIS WAS MY FIRST SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE ADIZ. VERY EXPERIENCED WITH THE TFR PROCS FOR DEP AND ARR AT VKX. JYO FSS CONFIRMED MY FLT PLAN ACTIVATION POINT AT 2W5. CLRLY PLT'S RESPONSIBILITY, A REMINDER THAT 2W5 WAS INSIDE THE ADIZ COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE VIOLATION.
