The acronym ADIZ stands for what?

• A. Air Defense Identification Zone
• B. Automated Data Identification Zone
• C. Advanced Defense Identification Zone
• D. Airborne Detection Identification Zone

Answer: (A)

ADIZ stands for Air Defense Identification Zone. It refers to a defined airspace around a country where identification, location, and control of aircraft are required to protect national airspace security. This term is used in aviation to describe the procedures aircraft must follow when entering or operating near the boundary, such as filing a flight plan and maintaining two-way radio communications. The other options mix up the words (automated, data, advanced, airborne) and do not represent the established term used in aviation.
