Title: Flight Restrictions in the Vicinity of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) 
Abstract:

To mitigate the potential for midair collisions near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and partially implement a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Safety Recommendation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is revising its regulations to permanently implement certain restrictions in the airspace over the Potomac River near DCA. The restrictions prohibit mixed traffic operations when Runway 15 and Runway 33 are being used for departures and arrivals, respectively, or Runway 04 is being used for departures at DCA. These permanent restrictions are effective immediately.
