[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four points worth remembering:
1. There are 850 planes per day from DCA alone (and that’s NOT the only traffic over the Palisades)
2. Let’s say that the landings are now quieter (I’ll believe it when I see it), 400 planes will still be guaranteed over these houses from DCA alone each and every day (and that’s NOT the only air traffic)
3. Take offs are noisier, so that the Palisades are celebrating this small relief tells you everything you need to know about what hell it  is to live under that kind of flight path
4. This isn’t long lived since DCA is expanding. This does not affect any other air traffic — Dulles etc which still fly over the Palisades. In the long run investing under the flight path sounds like a terrible idea

What makes you think all landings will be quieter. See these links to the minutes from meetings with the FAA regarding the changes:

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

Question: Is RORRK is a fly-by or a flyover waypoint?
Fisher: Fly-by.
Question: Big compromise because it's going to result in planes flying either over
or very close to the reservoir and flying over Georgetown University".

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