I read that the procedure used in stormy weather is out of service for 3 months only. After that pilots will simply be discouraged from flying overland. Can somebody confirm? I am sure the procedure will be used less.

Will the regular approach procedure used during normal weather be closer to the Palisades now? [/quote]

I am surprised nobody has yet responded to the above questions. The answers can be found in these minutes from the DCA Community Noise Working Group:

1. Bad weather procedures (LDA-Y & LDA-Z)
Matt Fisher/FAA, page 2: "We hope to de-commission the LDA-Y approach that overflies the MD and DC side of
the Potomac River. The LDA-Z will be out of service for 2-3 months this summer for a
rehab project, but retained for the foreseeable future."

2. Approach procedure during normal weather conditions
pages 2 & 3: "Question: What were the criteria in terms of moving closer to the Palisades and the
reservoir?
Fisher: Primarily segment length and distance between the waypoints"

Perhaps one of the experts could comment. It would be helpful to get a full picture of all the changes pertaining to arrivals.
