华盛顿，9月18日（路透社）——美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）周五表示，特朗普总统计划在华盛顿阿灵顿国家公墓附近修建的凯旋拱门不会对航空器构成安全隐患，但要求该建筑顶部必须加装“长明火”警示装置。
根据FAA的判定要求，该建筑顶部需安装照明设备，并配备指向拱门的泛光投射灯，以便飞行员能够识别该建筑。鉴于该拱门选址距离罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场较近，部分航空专家此前曾提出安全担忧。

此次判定为拱门项目扫清了航空安全层面的障碍。特朗普提议修建该拱门以纪念美国建国250周年，该项目是这位总统重塑华盛顿纪念性景观整体计划的一部分，该计划还包括新建白宫宴会厅、翻新林肯纪念堂倒影池以及改造东波多马克公园的一处高尔夫球场。
退伍军人团体已提起诉讼阻止该拱门修建，辩称其将破坏林肯纪念堂与阿灵顿国家公墓之间的历史视线通廊。
FAA此前曾表示该拱门需要加装红色障碍灯，但周五的公告中称该建筑不再被强制要求安装此类灯具。
任何人若在10月18日前提交请愿，均可对FAA的此次判定提出复审申请。
今年6月，参议院航空小组委员会资深民主党议员塔米·达克沃斯敦促FAA拒绝白宫施压批准这座250英尺（约76米）高拱门的要求，称其可能对商业航班构成安全风险。
这座拟建拱门距离华盛顿国家机场仅3000英尺，处于该机场的主要进离场航线范围内。
FAA通常要求机场周边高度超过200英尺的建筑加装闪烁红色警示灯，以在夜间提醒飞行员，例如附近555英尺高的华盛顿纪念碑就安装了此类灯具。
达克沃斯援引国家公园管理局的说法称，修建特朗普的拱门需要使用高度达300至320英尺的起重机，且每日施工时长可达20小时，工期将持续两到三年。
FAA表示，飞行员必须在拱门区域上空至少780英尺的高度飞行，且需在拟建建筑顶部上空至少488英尺的高度通过。
9月4日，一名联邦法官下令特朗普政府在拱门选址开展任何活动前，必须提前48小时发出通知，除用于识别地下文化遗迹的作业除外。

FAA clears proposed Trump arch, requires ‘eternal flame’ to alert pilots

WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday a proposed triumphal arch President Donald Trump wants to build near Arlington National Cemetery in Washington would not pose a hazard to aircraft but would be required to have an “eternal flame” on top.
The FAA determination requires it to be marked with a light on top of the structure and floodlight projectors pointed at the arch to make it noticeable for pilots. Some aviation experts have raised safety concerns given its proximity to Reagan Washington National Airport.

The determination clears an aviation hurdle for the arch, which Trump proposed to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary. The project is part of the president’s broader drive to reshape Washington’s monumental landscape, including a new White House ballroom, renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and redevelopment of a golf course in East Potomac Park.
Veterans have sued to block the arch, arguing it would destroy the historic sightline between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
The FAA previously said the arch would need red obstruction lights but said on Friday the structure no longer is required to have them.
The FAA determination is subject to review if anyone petitions by October 18.
In June, US Senator Tammy Duckworth, the top Democrat on the Senate aviation subcommittee, urged the FAA to reject White House pressure to approve the proposed 250-foot (76-meter) arch, saying it could pose risks to commercial flights.
The proposed arch would be 3,000 feet from Washington National Airport and within the airport’s main approach and departure corridor.
The FAA generally requires blinking red warning lights on buildings above 200 feet near airports to warn pilots at night, like on the nearby 555-foot-tall Washington Monument.
Duckworth cited the National Park Service as saying construction of Trump’s arch would require cranes reaching 300 to 320 feet in height and could last 20 hours per day for two to three years.
The FAA said pilots must fly at least 780 feet above the area around the arch, at least 488 feet above the top of the proposed structure.
On September 4, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to give 48 hours’ notice before engaging in any activity on the arch site, except for work to identify underground cultural artifacts.
