Proceed according to the instructions issued by the appropriate
aeronautical facility
The pilot shall designate a flight plan for VFR flight as a Defense Visual Flight Rules
(DVFR) flight plan.
The pilot in command of an aircraft for which a flight plan has been filed must file an

unless:
The person files a DVFR flight plan containing the time and point of ADIZ
penetration
The aircraft departs within five minutes of the estimated departure time contained
in the flight plan
If the pilot operating an aircraft under DVFR in an ADIZ cannot maintain two-way radio
communications, the pilot may proceed in accordance with original DVFR flight plan or

facility before deviating. No pilot may deviate from the filed DVFR flight plan unless that
pilot notifies an appropriate aeronautical facility before deviating.
No pilot may operate an aircraft penetrating an ADIZ under DVFR unless:
1. That pilot reports to an appropriate aeronautical facility before penetration (The
