[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A related technical question to the nice post above about procedures. Does anyone know what determines whether planes are arriving or departing on a given day? Do they just toss a coin? :-)[/quote] Winds from the south - airplanes take off to the south and land over Bethesda, Palisades, Georgetown (south flow, usually during warmer weather) winds from the north - airplanes take off to the north over Georgetown, Palisades, Bethesda, (north flow) About 65/70 percent of the time we are in north flow which generates a lot of noise for communities north of the airport such as Georgetown, Foxhall, Arlington, Palisades or Bethesda.
