Narrative:

Based at gai I proceeded the evening of jul/tue/04, to W79. I then proceeded to 2w6, and finally flew to anp. Flight plan filed each time with FSS. Upon departure from anp XE00, I was unable to contact potomac on the ground at anp for clearance. Because potomac had been handling me all evening, upon takeoff, I immediately contacted potomac on the same frequency. They instructed me to land immediately. This created a hazardous situation, since anp is a very poorly lit airport with over half of the 2500 ft runway lights OTS. Plus, extensive light pollution in the surrounding area, made landing less than ideal. Potomac controller could have prevented a hazardous situation by instructing me to exit the (class B) ADIZ as opposed to instructing me to land under those circumstances. Or, since he had the flight plan, he could have very easily given me the transponder code and cleared me as planned back to gai. A remote outlet should be installed so that ground communications can be established it should be placed on anp to prevent further incidents. My cell phone is very spotty in that area of maryland, and I am switching immediately to another cell phone service.

Title: PLT OF C210 DEPARTS ANP IN DC ADIZ WITHOUT RELEASE AND DISCRETE XPONDER CODE. DISPUTES PROPRIETY OF PCT INSTRUCTION TO RETURN AND LAND.

Narrative: BASED AT GAI I PROCEEDED THE EVENING OF JUL/TUE/04, TO W79. I THEN PROCEEDED TO 2W6, AND FINALLY FLEW TO ANP. FLT PLAN FILED EACH TIME WITH FSS. UPON DEP FROM ANP XE00, I WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT POTOMAC ON THE GND AT ANP FOR CLRNC. BECAUSE POTOMAC HAD BEEN HANDLING ME ALL EVENING, UPON TKOF, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED POTOMAC ON THE SAME FREQ. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO LAND IMMEDIATELY. THIS CREATED A HAZARDOUS SIT, SINCE ANP IS A VERY POORLY LIT ARPT WITH OVER HALF OF THE 2500 FT RWY LIGHTS OTS. PLUS, EXTENSIVE LIGHT POLLUTION IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, MADE LNDG LESS THAN IDEAL. POTOMAC CTLR COULD HAVE PREVENTED A HAZARDOUS SIT BY INSTRUCTING ME TO EXIT THE (CLASS B) ADIZ AS OPPOSED TO INSTRUCTING ME TO LAND UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. OR, SINCE HE HAD THE FLT PLAN, HE COULD HAVE VERY EASILY GIVEN ME THE XPONDER CODE AND CLRED ME AS PLANNED BACK TO GAI. A REMOTE OUTLET SHOULD BE INSTALLED SO THAT GND COMS CAN BE ESTABLISHED IT SHOULD BE PLACED ON ANP TO PREVENT FURTHER INCIDENTS. MY CELL PHONE IS VERY SPOTTY IN THAT AREA OF MARYLAND, AND I AM SWITCHING IMMEDIATELY TO ANOTHER CELL PHONE SVC.
