Narrative:

Flying northeast from ldn VOR to fdk VOR with a 5 NM left offset to avoid iad class B airspace. Contacted leesburg radio for latest tfr situation along my route to pne. On the east side of the blue ridge, the strong westerly winds created moderate turbulence. My 3 yr old daughter became airsick and my attention was diverted from navigation duties to care for my daughter. I realized after a short time that I had drifted east of my intended track due to strong west winds and attention being diverted from navigation. I corrected my course back to the west away from iad class B and continued flight to pne. After landing at pne, I was advised to call potomac TRACON. Potomac advised me that I had entered the washington ADIZ at the dca 305 degree radial 40 DME fix. A plot of this fix shows it to be 2 mi outside of the ADIZ. I should have contacted potomac TRACON instead of just monitoring, as this would have prevented the situation. Another factor is the failure of the washington baltimore tac (VFR) chart which does not depict the ADIZ -- only the dca exclusion zone. Had I known the full extent of the ADIZ, I would have offset my route further northwest to ensure a safe buffer from the ADIZ.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A C170 PLT WAS ACCUSED BY PCT APCH OF VIOLATING THE DC ADIZ.

Narrative: FLYING NE FROM LDN VOR TO FDK VOR WITH A 5 NM L OFFSET TO AVOID IAD CLASS B AIRSPACE. CONTACTED LEESBURG RADIO FOR LATEST TFR SIT ALONG MY RTE TO PNE. ON THE E SIDE OF THE BLUE RIDGE, THE STRONG WESTERLY WINDS CREATED MODERATE TURB. MY 3 YR OLD DAUGHTER BECAME AIRSICK AND MY ATTN WAS DIVERTED FROM NAV DUTIES TO CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER. I REALIZED AFTER A SHORT TIME THAT I HAD DRIFTED E OF MY INTENDED TRACK DUE TO STRONG W WINDS AND ATTN BEING DIVERTED FROM NAV. I CORRECTED MY COURSE BACK TO THE W AWAY FROM IAD CLASS B AND CONTINUED FLT TO PNE. AFTER LNDG AT PNE, I WAS ADVISED TO CALL POTOMAC TRACON. POTOMAC ADVISED ME THAT I HAD ENTERED THE WASHINGTON ADIZ AT THE DCA 305 DEG RADIAL 40 DME FIX. A PLOT OF THIS FIX SHOWS IT TO BE 2 MI OUTSIDE OF THE ADIZ. I SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED POTOMAC TRACON INSTEAD OF JUST MONITORING, AS THIS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE SIT. ANOTHER FACTOR IS THE FAILURE OF THE WASHINGTON BALTIMORE TAC (VFR) CHART WHICH DOES NOT DEPICT THE ADIZ -- ONLY THE DCA EXCLUSION ZONE. HAD I KNOWN THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ADIZ, I WOULD HAVE OFFSET MY RTE FURTHER NW TO ENSURE A SAFE BUFFER FROM THE ADIZ.
