[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]

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]

As others point out, you are incorrect that this was done to redistribute the noise between DC and Arlington. The FAA would not be "redistributing the noise". The change happened in response to a request from the secret service to keep the flight path further away from the prohibited areas. It was not a minor change. However, the Potomac residents and members of the Montgomery County delegation on the Community Noise Working Group at National airport used that opportunity to ask the FAA to also make changes in MoCo by shifting the flightpath away from Potomac and towards the river. In response to that request the FAA moved the flight path south towards Carderock and River Falls.

The process is described here. The map on page 4 shows in yellow the areas where the noise has increased as a result.
