[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't air traffic patterns change all the time though?  After awhile you hardly even notice it. You can't have it all, a lovely home, in a great neighborhood, with great schools, and great neighbors, a home that appreciates at a steady rate, with no risk of flooding, and zero crime, AND no air traffic. You have to give something up.[/quote]

No. They don't. There is essentially one runway at DCA, and planes can't fly over the White House, Capitol, etc.

So, no. [/quote]

I dunno looks like the do https://simpleflying.com/faa-washington-air-traffic/[/quote]

This was a pretty minor change that redistributed the noise between already heavily affected areas. Since they did this there is a bit less noise over Georgetown and Foxhall and more over Virginia. The path still follows the river though and  that is unlikely to change. [/quote]

It doesn't follow the river, it veers off into VA while planes are still low and goes over residential areas in Arlington and Mclean.  It's not constant, there are periods during the day you can clearly see and hear very well planes flying in a line one after another and it is noisy especially when planes turn and linger in the air over residential areas.  They didn't do a good job "spreading air traffic" but they are working on it, hopefully it will be more evenly spread eventually without creating air roadways that are heavily utilized for hours on end.  I wish they'd send the planes along the river further out and then veered off inland when they would fly at higher altitudes, or just disperse them in as many directions as possible so that most areas get some noise, but none have all the noise.
