Airspace Structure; Procedure
Approximately 10 NM southwest of TADPO; Havana Center handed us off to Miami Center. On initial contact we were given a new squawk code by Miami. After crossing TADPO we made a position report since we were not told RADAR CONTACT. Miami responded by telling us that we had entered an active military operating area. We were then told to squawk 7700. Miami gave us an assigned heading out of the airspace toward MTH. Miami reported that we were not on our assigned route which they showed us filed over MTH instead of EYW. The clearance we received from Havana was the EPRIM1.TADPO then as filed. Our flight plan was direct to EYW.J41.RSW...... After exiting the military airspace we were recleared direct to RSW and given a new squawk. There was no further mention of the incident by Miami ATC.
An air carrier departed MUHA Airport on the EPRIM1.TADPO Departure then EYW; but ZMA notified them upon check in that they were in an active military area; to squawk 7700 and given an exit vector.
