特朗普政府已要求美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)评估在距离罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场不足两英里处建造总统的“凯旋门”所带来的风险,该机场是全美最繁忙的机场之一。

据CNN获得的文件显示,美国内政部已要求联邦航空管理局对这座拟建的250英尺高拱门开展正式航空研究,该拱门将建于纪念大桥尽头的一片草坪上,与林肯纪念堂隔河相望。

由内政部下属的国家公园管理处提交的这份申请指出,若计入拱门下方场地的海拔高度,该建筑总高度将达到279英尺。

美国联邦航空管理局的规定要求,超过200英尺且可能对空域造成干扰的建筑必须接受审查。联邦航空管理局曾表示,这类审查目标在45至90天内完成,但实际通常耗时更久,最长可达9个月。

联邦航空管理局确认已收到该申请,并告知CNN已启动研究,但该机构拒绝透露此次拱门审查的时间表。

飞行员在飞越“北进近”航线时,必须规避各类障碍物,该航线要求飞行员转向以避开五角大楼、华盛顿纪念碑等华盛顿特区地标建筑,防止近距离碰撞。

唐纳德·特朗普总统的拱门落成后,将进一步使该航线的飞行情况复杂化。该航线曾发生多起备受关注且遭严格审查的事故,包括去年一架美国航空公司客机与一架黑鹰直升机的空中相撞事件,以及1982年一架飞机起飞后撞上14街大桥的坠毁事故。

该空域极为繁忙,仅周一一天,就有超过900架次商业航班在里根国家机场起降。

该建筑的计划需经美术委员会和国家首都规划委员会批准,这两家政府机构负责监督华盛顿的联邦建筑项目。

与特朗普提出的诸多项目一样,比如在白宫新建宴会厅以及重新命名肯尼迪艺术中心,内部人士担心,由特朗普安插亲信组成的相关委员会会无视风险,快速批准拱门项目。
“我担心,无论拱门设计存在何种缺陷,负责审批的政府机构都会强行推进该项目,”一位接近相关委员会的消息人士称。

国家首都规划委员会表示,其“定期与其他拥有审查职责的机构合作,确保各项审查同步推进”。
“我们预计此次也将遵循相同流程,”该委员会告诉CNN,但补充称目前尚无具体的审查时间表。

已批准该拱门初步设计方案的美术委员会称,已在5月21日的会议上收到一份修订后的设计方案供审查,但无法说明“委员会成员是否会将联邦航空管理局提出的相关问题纳入考量,以调整其行动时间表”。

施工障碍物相关问题

自特朗普宣布在华盛顿建造拱门以纪念美国建国250周年的愿景以来,外界一直担忧其规模、对周边环境的影响以及他承诺的快速施工进度。

他此前曾对记者表示,这座拱门应该是“所有凯旋门中最大的”,因为美国是“最强大、最有影响力的国家”;去年12月,他还表示希望能在两个月内开工建设。

通常情况下,向联邦航空管理局提交障碍物分析申请需在开工前45天完成。但总统可在未获得联邦航空管理局最终审批的情况下推进该项目。

联邦航空管理局的障碍物评估小组将审查跑道长度、机场海拔、建筑的确切坐标、地面海拔,以及建造该建筑所需的临时起重机是否会超过永久建筑高度等多项内容。

他们将与包括国防部、国土安全部、陆军、空军和海军在内的众多其他机构和军方部门进行磋商。

随后,联邦航空管理局将出具“无危害认定”或“有危害认定”。

若被认定为存在危害,相关方面将有60天时间调整项目——可能包括降低高度、加装警示灯以提升飞机辨识度,或进行其他调整以提升航空安全。

当被问及此次评估时,一名白宫官员声称,该拱门“不会对往返里根国家机场的航班造成任何影响”。

Exclusive: The FAA is evaluating risks to flights from Trump’s ‘triumphal arch’

This rendering shows the design for President Donald Trump’s proposed “Triumphal Arch” in Washington, DC.

US Commission of Fine Arts

The Trump administration has asked the FAA to evaluate the risks of building the president’s “triumphal arch” less than two miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, one of the busiest in the nation.

According to documents obtained by CNN, the Department of Interior has requested a formal aeronautical study from the Federal Aviation Administration for the proposed 250-foot arch, which would be built in a patch of grass at the end of Memorial Bridge, across from the Lincoln Memorial.

The request, submitted by the National Parks Service, a division of the Interior Department, notes that the total height of the structure will be 279 feet when the site elevation beneath the arch itself is considered.

FAA regulations require structures that exceed 200 feet and positioned at a site that potentially interferes with airspace be subject to a review. The FAA has said it aims to complete these types of reviews within 45 to 90 days – but they typically take far longer, up to nine months.

The FAA acknowledged that it had received the request and told CNN it had begun the study, but the agency declined to give a timeline for the review of the arch.

Pilots must already navigate various hazards as they descend or ascent through the “north approach” flight path that requires them to swing to avoid close encounters with the Pentagon, the Washington Monument and other DC landmarks.

The addition of President Donald Trump’s arch will further complicate flying through the corridor, which has been the site of high-profile and much scrutinized accidents, including last year’s midair collision between an American Airlines plane and a Black Hawk helicopter and a 1982 crash into the 14 th Street Bridge upon takeoff.

The airspace is extremely crowded, with more than 900 commercial flights departing and landing through to Reagan National Airport on Monday alone.

Plans for the structure are supposed to be approved by the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Planning Commission, two government agencies that oversee federal building in Washington.

As with many projects Trump has proposed, such as the construction of a new ballroom at the White House and the renaming of the Kennedy Center, insiders fear that the panels, which the president has stacked with loyalists, will approve the arch with little regard of risks.

“I fear that regardless of any defects in the arch’s design, it will be rammed through by the government bodies that need to approve it,” a source close to the committees said.

The NCPC said it “regularly works with other agencies that have review roles to ensure that reviews are synchronized.”

“We would expect to follow the same approach here,” the committee told CNN, but said it does not yet have a specific timeline for the review.

CFA, which has already approved a preliminary set of designs for the arch, said it had received a revised concept for review at its meeting on May 21, but could not say whether “whether the Commission members will consider the issue raised by the FAA to affect the timing of their actions.”

Construction obstruction

Since Trump announced his vision for an arch in Washington that would help commemorate America’s 250th birthday, there have been concerns about its size, the impact on its surroundings and the speed with which he promised to build it.

He has previously told reporters that it should be “the biggest one of all” since the US is “the biggest, most powerful nation,” and in December he had said that he wanted construction to start within two months.

Typically, a request to the FAA to conduct an obstruction analysis is made 45 days prior to any construction starting. The president can move ahead with the project without final determination from the FAA.

The FAA’s Obstruction Evaluation Group will look at runway length, the airport elevation, the structure’s exact coordinates, ground elevation and whether temporary cranes to build the structure will exceed the permanent height, among other items.

They’ll consult with numerous other agencies and branches of the armed forces including the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Army, Air Force and Navy.

The FAA will then issue a “Determination of No Hazard” or a “Determination of Hazard.”

If a hazard is determined, the administration will have 60 days to adjust the project – potentially make height reductions or hazard lightings to make it more visible to aircraft, among other tweaks to make it safer for aviation.

Asked about the evaluation, a White House official claimed that the arch will “have no effect on flights to and from Reagan National.”
