Story summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently concluded that President Trump's proposed 260-foot triumphal arch near Arlington Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., would not pose a significant threat to air travel at nearby Reagan National Airport. Despite initial concerns over its impact on flight paths and airport capacity, the FAA determined the structure "would have no substantial adverse effect" on airspace utilization or navigation facilities, provided it includes an "eternal flame" atop the arch for visibility. The monument's proximity to the already complex airspace has faced criticism from lawmakers and aviation experts; however, with this clearance, construction could begin soon after a 10-day notification period to the FAA.
