FAA to Slow DCA Arrival Flow<\/h3>\n

The FAA announced this week it would slow the rate of arrivals<\/a> into Washington\/National (DCA) for the immediate future due to both recovery efforts in the Potomac of American Eagle Flight 5342 and weather in the DC region.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible the temporary change could be made permanent, as the agency kept the slowdown open-ended. The plan \u2014 for now \u2014 will reduce the maximum rate of hourly arrivals from 28 to 26, giving the airport and its ATC more buffer space in the immediate area. <\/p>\n

This decision come on the heels of the FAA\u2019s temporary measure to close helicopter routes<\/a> in and around DCA. The restrictions were placed along the Potomac River between the Woodrow Wilson Bridge \u2014 which connects Alexandria, Virginia with Oxon Hill, Maryland south of the airport \u2014 to the Memorial Bridge which connects Virginia with DC to the airport\u2019s immediate northwest along with over DCA itself.<\/p>\n
