[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Foxhall and the noise generated by arriving aircraft has never much bothered me as the engines are basically at idle. The use of the LDA approach during bad weather (which takes some planes as far east as Foxhall Rd) is a sight to behold - I’ll miss it if indeed it does go away.

The departing north flow is the problem. The A320s, particularly, are horrendously loud and - unlike the arrivals - all of the planes follow the same flight path. On busy mornings, you will have planes going by every 30 seconds or so. The pitch on climb out is often very low as it saves the airlines money and/or because the longer flights enabled by the perimeter rule are heavier and lack the performance necessary for a steeper pitch.

The situation absolutely sucks and it is getting worse. Bowser was asked about it earlier this year at the Foxhall CCA meeting and she clearly had no clue.[/quote]

Bowser would not know, but there are seven people who are accountable to DC residents who should know. One of them is your representative. Every single change of the flight path that has been discussed here originated with this group. Have you contacted your representative on the Working Group to ask what they are working on right now? The Potomac representatives complain to the FAA at those meetings about being in south flow too often. The FAA empathizes. DC reps say nothing. Why? 
Here's the contact info:
