Ken Buckley who was interviewed here is a great guy. We appreciate his work on this issue a lot. He is known for being a straight shooter, but this interview is just smoke and mirrors. I don't know what happened. As it he was reading somebody else's script. [/quote]

I noticed that too. He might be ready to celebrate any win however small and questionable or they got to him  [/quote]

The pressure on him may be from the Potomac residents on the Working Group. The minutes from the meeting with the FAA are very telling. The main beneficiary of this change in approaches is Potomac where FERGI is located, somewhere between Avenel and Congressional Golf County clubs. The benefit for the stormy weather procedure is just an add on, an important one for several communities, though. The potential trade off for some of those communities is that the regular landings may be closer to them. This is what the FAA is saying about the benefits of the new flight path:

FAA "Fisher: Pulling 50-60 percent of the fleet mix away from FERGI. The LDA approach will also start at new DARIC, so that'll become the TAA point in that regard."

So half of the airplanes will be removed from FERGI/Potomac and the bad weather approach will begin at new DARIC instead of FERGI. TAA refers to the dispersal of airplanes over Potomac/Bethesda as opposed to channelization.
