DC ADIZ Becomes Special Flight Rules Area -
On Feb. 17, 2009, the rule converting the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area ADIZ into the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area SFRA became effective. Within the SFRA, pilots must file a flight plan, establish two-way radio communications with air traffic control, and operate the aircraft transponder on the transponder code assigned by air traffic. All pilots who operate within 60 nm of the DCA VOR (an additional 30 nm ring outside the SFRA) are required to receive special awareness training, available at FAASafety.gov, or at: www.aopa.org/adizfaa. While the special awareness training is a one-time requirement, FAA strongly recommends that pilots review the online course from time to time.
If you have not yet completed this special awareness training, please do so ASAP and give us a copy of your certificate for your flight school/renter file. thank you.

Second, the aircraft may not be operated outside the Continental United States. Besides the insurance restriction, the aircraft do not have the required FCC radio station license and most likely, you do not have the required FCC operator permit.
