DCA Flight Path Modifications Proposed to Ease Noise Impacts

摘要

A process funded by Arlington County, Va., and Montgomery County, Md., has resulted in recommendations for lessening noise impacts of flight operations on communities north of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Put forth by consultant ABCx2, the proposal would "revise two RNAV approaches to move the flight tracks over more compatible land areas near the CIA at Langley and more fairly share the noise burden associated with the approach segments closer-in to the airport in Arlington County and the District of Columbia."
