Memorial Bridge, where the helicopter may cross to join Route 5 or continue to turn over the Tidal Basin, is a compulsory reporting point: pilots must report to air traffic control that they have reached that position as they follow the shore of the Potomac. Route 1 has two reporting points. Really a tragic event.

However, flying a small plane often means operating at much lower altitudes, usually between 5,000 and 10,000 feet, depending on weather conditions, terrain, and air traffic. Flying a small plane at lower altitudes allows pilots to navigate visually and avoid the complexities of high-altitude air traffic control.
