Palisades Airplane Noise

As observed by residents north of DCA, the frequency of flights overhead appears to have increased.  The increased flights do no reflect more overall DCA air traffic, but rather the result of decisions by FAA operations to overuse northbound at 65% northbound versus 35% south.

Since Labor Day is has been North flow 100%, south flow ZERO. I was told by the airport that planes will depart North if the winds are blowing North, East, West, or no winds. Only chance of Southern flow is if the winds are blowing South. No way is it 65/35 - I wish it was. For much of the year it is 85 to 100 North. [/quote]

I wonder if something else is going on. Today winds are blowing from East South. In the past we would often be in southflow with such winds but not today.

According to the summary of all the changes posted here recently, the arriving airplanes are dispersed over Potomac and Bethesda to lessen the noise for a small community in MOCO. Do traffic controllers have more work because of this? Do they have to provide guidance to each pilot approaching DCA? I wonder if now there is more pressure to be in northflow whenever possible. Is this a case of unintended consequences? Ken has been very quiet on the issue over the last year.
