[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  Sorry to ask, but can someone other than the clearly very-bothered individual who makes all of the airplane noise posts on this forum please chip in their perspectives on airplane noise in the Cabin John, [b]Potomac, [/b]Glen Echo, Palisades neighborhoods? I was over there today and it didn't seem that bad  [/quote]

Not really an issue in Potomac.  The North Flow flight pattern that has many up in arms has flights departing DCA go up the river and then either turn right/inland at Glen Echo and ascend over Bethesda (just inside the Beltway), or turn "left" over Cabin John and ascend over Carderock, Great Falls Park, and then Virginia.    While a few of the southernmost streets of Potomac may be affected -- although at that point the planes are pretty high -- the majority of Potomac isn't.   In fact, overall the consolidation of the (northbound) outbound DCA flight patterns into two main routes probably lessened aviation traffic over Potomac. [/quote]

It is not a problem in Potomac because Potomac residents with the help of Montgomery County worked with the FAA to shift the flight path in 2021 away from Potomac and towards Carderock and other Montgomery County communities along the river. It is illustrated on page 2.
