I think it was warranted. If an instructor shows such poor judgement as to
violate a highly publicised ADIZ through lack of adequate flight planning
and usage of advanced navigation equipment (hell, even VOR would do the
trick), he needs to be given remedial instruction. A year off to think
about it sounds fair and proper.



NOT an instructor. A private pilot. Now a former pilot. The student will get
to fly again simply because even if he was manipulating the controls, the
private pilot was the pilot in command.
