FAA Clears Proposed Trump Arch With Eternal Flame
The FAA determined that a proposed triumphal arch backed by President Donald Trump near Arlington National Cemetery poses no aviation hazard. The structure requires an eternal flame and special lighting to ensure safety for nearby commercial flights.
The United States Federal Aviation Administration cleared a proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery on Friday afternoon, requiring an eternal flame on top instead of red warning lights. The determination removes a key regulatory barrier for the controversial monument proposed by President Donald Trump. Aviation experts previously raised safety concerns given the structure's proximity to Reagan Washington National Airport.
