This procedure if implemented would have destroyed Bethesda, specifically all the beautiful neighborhoods along the Potomac River like Westmoreland Hills, Glen Echo Heights, Brookmont, Sumner, Glen Echo etc. The airplanes would shift to the east and the turn that is currently north of Glen Echo would be much closer to Glen Echo. Thank God the residents of Palisades and Bethesda overwhelmingly rejected this plan.

The Potomac River is so narrow north of the airport that it makes no sense to talk about any meaningful noise abatement for the noisy north flow operations just by shifting the flight path to the center of the river especially if it moves it closer to a densely populated community. Unfortunately, some on the Noise Working Group at DCA keep peddling this idea ad nauseam irrespective of everything else.
