FAA presented on new GPS southflow arrivals procedure and declared pursuing Noise Abatement Departure Procedure (NADP-1) is not viable for DCA.

The FAA presented on its nationwide noise complaint portal and the agency’s health impacts research.

The Maryland/Arlington counties aviation consultant presented alternatives considered to mitigate noise from aircraft departing to the north. Two recommendations to ameliorate this noise were approved by the group. The FAA will study.

The FAA provided a couple of presentations tied to departure procedures for aircraft that are flying south over communities in Prince Georges County, Maryland as well as Alexandria and Fairfax County in Virginia.

The FAA provided an update on its ongoing assessments of various working group recommendations.

The working group approved Recommendation #22, which would provide noise mitigation for communities along the entire south flow approach corridor while enabling the use of a new RNAV GPS approach procedure that offers benefits to air traffic controllers and the airlines. The FAA will now consider.
