A letter I am sending to Senator Chris Van Hollen

I encourage you to check out the Montgomery County web site “Montgomery County Quiet Skies Coalition” - https://sites.google.com/site/208xxquietskies/home    Our wealthy good friends in Maryland (north of DCA) persuaded Montgomery County to appropriate over $300,000 for a noise study to submit to the FAA to support their case in reducing airport noise.

Yet unlike previous route patterns, which diffused aircraft across a wider expanse of terrain, NextGen concentrates the aircraft over tighter corridors as they ascend to reach cruising altitude.” “Arlington government officials plan to formalize their agreement with leaders in Montgomery County, Md., to fund a study on the northerly aircraft departure route out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.” ...
