[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if the Palisades people prefer takeoffs (higher decibels) or landings (lower altitude, more visually distracting). A pilot at Reagan remarked to me that the river approach from the NW has an absurdly-last-minute low-altitude right turn that violates all kinds of safety norms, making it ironic that the FAA is allowing that in their back yard. So perhaps Reagan is biased toward using the upstream Potomac River flightpath when winds don’t strongly dictate the opposite, since it’s safer to take an early turn on a takeoff than a late turn on a landing. Also, the upstream departure path allows for straighter routes to more destinations. It seems to me that the bulk of my Reagan arrivals come in from the south. Somebody have the ratio handy of upstream/downstream?[/quote]
