WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) – A U.S. agency said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot tall Independence Arch would need red safety lights but does not pose any safety impacts to traffic at nearby Reagan Washington National Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it will next conduct a full aeronautical study in coordination with the National Park Service. The preliminary review said the arch in Washington would need to be lit with red obstruction lights. The proposed arch is 3,000 feet from Reagan National and within the airport’s main approach and departure corridor.
