I don't know of one personally - but I hope they got a new W&B done... ;)
 
There is one or perhaps it is an AC. Don't know where to find it but it goes into great detail about number spacing and text and such.
 
No Font, but FAR 45.21-33 are as close as it gets.
 
Learn somethin' new every day... Found on the AOPA members-only page about N-numbers that you need 12" tall numbers in an ADIZ. Planes like the 172 I fly can comply if you are creative with electrical tape.
 
Kate, by "in an ADIZ" I'm guessing you mean and ADIZ such as around DC and not the ADIZ's (improper use of the ' I know, but it was a rough night/morning) that are offshore of both coasts and AK?
 
You need 12" characters if you fly to Canada or Mexico, or in the coastal ADIZs. I doubt the terrorism ADIZs are included.

Negative. The rule requiring 12-inch numbers in an ADIZ or DEWIZ went into effect in 1988, long before anyone had even dreamed of the DC ADIZ. See FAR 45.29.

Interestingly, no one has brought up that question around the DC ADIZ. I suspect there are several hundred aircraft owners who will cheerfully shoot the first person who makes an official question out of it.

Regards,
Joe
