The safety push continues with new route and zone boundaries.
Sad that it takes loss of life before the FAA makes changes that should have happened years ago. Controllers reported multiple near-misses over the years that were basically ignored as operations that couldn’t be changed. Lived this agency for 31 years, so glad to be retired!
This airport (DCA) will never be safe for civilian aircraft with the mix of government and military planes. DCA should have been closed long ago when the Secret Service wanted to. I hate that DCA still gets tax revenue from GA airplane owners even though GA has been effectively banned from using it.
