[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your observations are correct.

At the request of Potomac residents on the dca noise community working group and Montgomery county the flight path for departures heading north and west was shifted to over the river and closer to Westmoreland Hills. It started in 2021. Your community was not consulted. In fact, the FAA opened a comment period for Montgomery county residents to provide input on the change, but your county representatives decided not to tell you about it.

As stated above, at the request of the DCA Working group the westerly flight path was moved from noise compatible area in Virginia towards the river and closer to the heavily populated communities in Bethesda. It did not provide any noise reduction for Bethesda but it only made things worse.

We are learning that a crash over water presents the worst case scenario. Perhaps this is something that can be taken into account by the Working Group when pushing for flight path changes in the future. There are instances when it makes sense to move the flight path to the river, but this 2021 change is not one of them.

This is actually a question for the NTSB.[/quote]
