[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people live right near airports, under flight paths, and expect zero airport noise? Have people become this lazy? [/quote] The planes flew over the Potomac River and more if Virginia land until 2014. Then two things happened: NextGen gPs autopilot landing was installed all over the country for billions of $. And simultaneous with that, McLean VA community and local politicians were quick and smart enough to lobby DCA FAA to not have any flight paths over them and mainly over MoCo and NW DC. This took the 1000s of landings and concentrated them all on the same path for the last 5 mins if their southbound approach. [b]Many cities with rivers are angry.[/b] There are a few solutions: create a few more GPS node flight paths so certain neighborhoods aren’t always harassed by Josie and pollution from 6am until midnight, plus the 2-4am FedEx landings. Or, go back to the Flying over the River approaches. [/quote] Really? [/quote]
