The River Visual approach was instituted due to safety and noise abatement
concerns. The approach,
which follows the course of the Potomac River, is only possible with a
ceiling of at least 1,067 m and
visibility of 4,828 m or more. There are lights on the Key Bridge, Theodore
Roosevelt Bridge, Arlington
Memorial Bridge, and the George Mason Memorial Bridge to aid pilots following
the river. Aircraft using
the approach can be observed from various parks on the river's west bank.
