美国联邦航空管理局周五认定，计划在阿灵顿国家公墓旁、林肯纪念堂附近修建的特朗普纪念拱门，对进出华盛顿里根国家机场的航班不会构成安全威胁。
美国联邦航空局表示，该建筑“不会对华盛顿国家机场的空域使用或机场导航设施的运行造成实质性不利影响”。该局还称，正式开工前至少需提前10天向其通报。
提交给该局的公众意见质疑该拱门是否会影响机场运力或增加飞行员工作负担，但美国联邦航空局认定不存在此类问题。
这座预计将于未来几天破土动工的建筑，自总统宣布修建计划以来的数月里遭遇了大量批评，尤其是因为它将位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的华盛顿里根国家机场进出港航班的航路上。
民主党议员担忧这座260英尺高的拱门会进一步复杂化本已复杂的空域——就在一年半前，该空域发生了2009年以来美国本土最致命的空难。
今年6月，伊利诺伊州民主党参议员塔米·达克沃斯在致美国联邦航空局的信中称该项目“危险”，并补充道，“考虑到联邦航空局在2025年1月下旬可预防的华盛顿国家机场撞机事故后，正在华盛顿国家机场及周边推进安全升级工作，该项目尤其不负责任”。
今年早些时候，在确认该拱门高度超过机场附近允许的200英尺限制后，美国联邦航空局完成了对该建筑的初步可行性审查。该局得出结论称，拱门不会影响航班运行或辅助飞行员的导航工具，但审查声明称，需安装障碍灯以提醒飞机注意该建筑的存在。
在美国联邦航空局发布最终批准前几周，内政部长道格·伯古姆宣布将启动拱门的初步挖掘工作。美国联邦航空局周五表示，若对设计方案或拱门高度进行任何进一步修改，都需重新提交该局审核。
该拱门将位于华盛顿国家机场使用最频繁的航路上。
FAA says Trump arch will not interfere with D.C. airport flight path

The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday determined that President Trump’s planned triumphal arch next to Arlington Cemetery and near the Lincoln Memorial poses no hazard to flights coming into and departing from Washington Reagan National Airport.
The FAA said that “the structure would have no substantial adverse effect” on the utilization of the D.C. National Airport airspace or on the operation of the airport’s navigation facilities. The FAA said it must also be alerted at least 10 days before construction officially begins.
Public comments submitted to the agency questioned whether the arch would affect capacity at the airport or pilot workload, but the FAA determined there was no issue.
The structure, which is expected to break ground in the coming days, has faced heavy criticism in the months since the president announced it, in particular because it would stand in the flight path for planes landing at and departing from nearby Washington Reagan National Airport, in Arlington, Virginia.
Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns that the 260-foot arch would further complicate an already complex airspace, where just a year and a half ago, the deadliest plane crash on American soil since 2009 occurred.
In a letter to the FAA in June, Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois called the project “dangerous,” adding that it is “particularly irresponsible given the FAA’s ongoing efforts to implement safety enhancements in and around DCA following the preventable DCA collision in late January 2025.”
Earlier this year, the FAA completed an initial feasibility review of the structure, once it had been determined that the arch would exceed the 200-foot threshold allowed close to the airport. The FAA concluded that the arch would not impact flight operations or have any effect on navigational tools used to help pilots, but the review stated that obstruction lights would be required in order to alert planes to the existence of the structure.
Weeks before the final approval was issued by the FAA, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced initial excavation work on the arch would begin. The FAA said Friday that any further alterations to plans or the height of the arch would need to be resubmitted to the agency.
The arch would be located along D.C. National Airport’s most heavily used flight path.
