[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fundamental problem is that the approach from upriver violates every FAA best practice for safety in order to follow the sharp curve of the river around Georgetown Landing, in order to reduce noise over residential areas and avoid protected airspace (VP mansion etc.). This removes the safety that comes from having a long-straight approach to the runway, which gives the landing pilots plenty of chance to see anything flying near them and gives helicopters relief from having a plane come whipping around the corner. The sick irony is this all happens within site of FAA HQ.[/quote] That wasn't the approach the plane used here. It came from the south.[/quote] So is the southern approach long-straight, or does it also involve dangerous/late turns? And if so, why does it need these dangerous turns?[/quote]
