[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The upcoming changes that FFA is implementing should improve the noise situation in Foxhall as they are moving one navigation point further west and will be discouraging planes arriving from the north from flying directly over the neighborhood. I don’t think anything changes about departures yet, but it seems to be on the agenda. [/quote]

"The upcoming changes that FAA is implementing should improve the noise situation in Foxhall"

The new flight path will in fact be a little closer to Foxhall but its effect on noise is unknown because as far as I know nobody has ever asked for a noise analysis. The changes in arrival procedures the poster is referring to are being spearheaded by the Montgomery County members of this committee. https://www.flyreagan.com/sites/flyreagan.com/files/2023-10/Reagan%20National_Noise%20Working%20Group_Voting%20Members_Oct302023%20%281%29.pdf
As a result, beginning July 2024 arriving airplanes will no longer be descending solely over the Potomac community but over a wider area in Montgomery County. The FAA has been testing this procedure for the last couple of years. Once the airplanes reach the Potomac River they will be flying in a channelized manner just like they do right now.

"FAA will be discouraging planes arriving from the north from flying directly over the neighborhood."

The statement is misleading. The poster is referring to the so-called bad weather procedure which is separate from the regular arrival procedure. That's when in heavy rain or fog airplanes fly directly over neighborhoods. Indeed, the procedure will be used less, but it is irrelevant because the FAA is already working on a new bad weather procedure and has not yet shared any details with anyone. Therefore, nobody knows what impact it will have on Foxhall or any other community.

"I don’t think anything changes about departures yet, but it seems to be on the agenda."

Please show us the agenda. You know something nobody else knows. The FAA is not planning any further changes to northerly departures. They have just completed a multi-year project. Are the plans you are referencing being made and pushed through by some on the DCA Community Noise Working Group without any input from the public?[/quote]

I was just citing what I read in a presentation that was linked in another thread here in DCUM. I think it was specifically about Bethesda.Too lazy to look it up for you but you can do it yourself if you are this invested in the topic. [/quote]
