Anyone fly into Stafford on an IFR flight plan? I'm planning on going
there this weekend and I was wondering if there were special
procedures considering it's so close to the ADIZ. Do IFR flights keep
their squawk until touchdown just in case? I'm coming from the NY
area. I'd appreciate any feedback on the cleared route from the
northeast. Do they normally route you around the ADIZ or just around
the FRZ?

There aren't any special procedures I know of.

First, the ADIZ is transparent to IFR fliers, so you should have little to
worry about there. Depending on how you enter the ADIZ, you'll likely get
the "Grand Western Tour" or the "Eastern Shore Tour" around the FRZ and away
from KBWI/KIAD traffic. I've actually gotten routed directly over KIAD/AML
twice in the last six years, so it is possible.

If you're at all concerned about go-arounds or missed approaches getting you
anywhere near the ADIZ boundaries, just keep your code until you're down or
cancel on the ground.

(Also, as you probably know, flights into ADIZ airports do keep their squawk
until on the ground.)
