Direct the FAA to create a DC Metropolitan Airspace Quiet Skies Directive

The DC Metropolitan Area has an unusual amount of aircraft traffic, commercial government and military, that has a substantial and often detrimental impact on the residents living in and around the city. The location of a major airport in the city's center, as well as the military and government air bases in and around the area, make it of critical importance that a Quiet Skies Plan be created, implemented and managed in order to ensure citizens are not inordinately affected by the activity this air traffic creates. An effective plan would include all the local entities that operate aircraft in the area as well as representatives of all the local stakeholders who are affected by the activity. We urge the FAA, in concert with the MWAA and the MWCOG to create such a plan as soon as possible.
