[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the problems is that the FAA makes most of the flights land from the South even when winds are from the south. They think they can increase capacity because of the two runways there, but it gets so busy that it is dangerous. So many people asked the FAA why they insist on landing from the south most of the time and this is what the FAA put out:

The poorer people live south of DCA and complain less than North Arlington and Bethesda. That's why. [/quote]

I doubt the above is true. I've spent a lot of time watching DCA planes, and they routinely shift which way the planes "enter" the runway area.

This is done based on wind direction and other weather factors.[/quote]

Today is the best example. Strong winds from the south and airplanes are landing WITH the wind. [/quote]
