1 DCA, A Pilot’s Perspective

2 Basics Departures Arrivals Recommendations

3 Basics Players DCA is challenging NextGen and RNAV
MWAA, FAA, airlines, neighbors DCA is challenging Procedures/Restrictions Nighttime restriction (2200L-0600L) Airspace Runways NextGen and RNAV

7 RNAV with RNP OLD BETTER BEST
performance-based navigation that allows an aircraft to fly a specific path between two 3D-defined points in space OLD BETTER BEST

8 DCA Departures (North)

9 Noise Abatement Dept Proc
International standard (>75,000 lbs) NADP-1 (urban areas): fly higher faster NADP-2: (non-urban areas): fly farther faster NADP-1 NADP-2

10

11 DCA Arrivals (South) 3 Arrivals to the South
River Visual 19—good weather (>3500-3) LDA 19 - bad weather RNAV (RNP) 19 – good or bad weather!

12

13 Lowest minimums Least noise over river constant descent

14 Recommendations If wx > 3500’and 3 and not on River Visual? File a noise complaint Web Trak ( DCA METAR or ATIS (703) Encourage DCA to make the RNAV (RNP) 19 the PRIMARY approach in use Add “NADP-1 procedures recommended for all runways” to MWAA regulations Study an optimal NADP profile by fleet? Implement a Fly Quiet program
