15 Aug 2019 - Class B Airspace - 269.0 changed to 360.80 - 319.10 changed to 239.25

here at Arlington County - Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference - 269.0 is mentioned - (this entry appears under Arlington County in Virginia at Radio Reference)

----------------------------

on a slightly different note

here in the FAA Chart Supplement - https://aeronav.faa.gov/Upload_313-d/supplements/CS_NE_20191205.pdf - on page 55 of 757 - Reagan Airport is listed under Washington DC (along with Dulles Airport, Manassas Airport, and South Capitol St Heliport) - but I think that Reagan Airport is totally in Virginia - unless there is a secret underground city there in DC or whatever)

But seriously - is Reagan Airport considered to be within the District of Columbia in any sort of legal sense? I dont know where the exact boundary is there - maybe in the middle of the Potomac River? maybe the airport falls under the Washington Field Office of the FBI for major crimes? maybe DC owns the land in Virginia that the airport sits on? maybe the control tower staff is hired directly by the FAA HQ in DC?

Nice freq updates.. I like this vid of Potomac appch down the river to Reagan Airport.
Virginia on the right and DC on the left on way in. Sure looks to be in Virginia for landing.

DCA has decent webcam with tower audio as well arrivals/departures via Runway 1.

The island that is in the river is in DC. They may have made a legal ruling about giving it to Virginia. I am not sure.

I wonder how many pilots are aware of the SAM site there at Carderock.



319.1 used to be 322.3 which never got changed in the database. UHF side of 119.85. I wonder why the change again.

I already had 360.8 in my records. Previously the UHF side of 119.3 before becoming 335.5.

FCC has been trying to get UHF Air out of that 300 upper teen band for a while as conflicts with some home garage door
openers.McGuire got rid of their 319.400 CP as well and now down in lower 200's.
The average garage door opener in that freq range is real low power so was case of stronger Air UHF freqs in that range
essentially jamming door openers and folks thought their garage remotes were not working correctly

All FAA documents that I have seen including current ones list Reagan National Airport as in DC.

My last e-mail got send before I was finished. And in fact, the FAA puts Dulles also in DC. This of course contradicts all the maps one sees. Perhaps it is an attempt to help travelers identify where the airport are that are in the DC area.

Is that from the White booklet that used to be available at some FBO's years ago and the FAA said it would no longer be available to the public? Does the FAA offer a paper or digital subscription service for these updates? If so can you post an e-mail address? Thanks in advance.

I think you are thinking of the DOD IFR Supplement which is now restricted in distribution. I was referring to the FAA Chart Supplements. Free download at Digital - Chart Supplement (d-CS)

If these frequencies are confirmed be sure to send them to the database to be corrected. Remember only validated frequencies get accepted, not anything from a 'list', even a government source
