NOTAM for DCA

Just wanted to post and figure out why DCA doesn’t have a built in size restriction NOTAM like LGA/YTZ or a special airport procedure like KASE. It’s pretty notable for its airspace restrictions and famous visual approach, so it’d make sense to add both.

IDk, ask @deltaoutofdca

It’s because it can have larger planes, but not on a daily basis.

DCA can support more aircraft than most people think it can. A DC-10 made an emergency landing there years ago and a 787-8 once operated there

That’s what he said…

The same goes for LGA, which has a NOTAM in effect.

Widebodies have very rarely made an appearance at DCA. Just because they’ve been accommodated on special circumstances, doesn’t mean the airport is suited for them, just like LGA. The 787 was just a special occasion flight.

I never said it was suited for them, I just said that they can take off/land from here

Bruh why you still up lmao

The middle seat in a car is worse than the one on a plane 😂 no armrests (my car doesn’t have them at least)

Same situation, just thinking about it annoys me 😤

good luck, just play some IF and tune out!

Sounds like a blast actually. Love the long drives on the open road, that is once away from the dingleberries that can’t drive. 😉

For me it’s honestly the same experience as flying Spirit if not worse
