💨 Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration plans to reduce the number of arrivals at Washington Reagan National Airport from 28 to 26 per hour to address safety concerns following a fatal helicopter-plane collision. This move aims to decrease risk and allow for extra coordination but will increase average delays from 40 to 50 minutes. The decision was made due to the stress experienced by tower personnel who have a direct view of the accident site.
