  1. Initial Observed

    National arrivals slow to reach the ramp: 46% took 13+ min after landing

    Of 13 aircraft that landed at National (DCA) between 9:58 AM and 10:58 AM EST and have reached the ramp, 6 took 13 minutes or more from touchdown, at least 10 minutes over the airport’s typical 3.3 minutes; the median was 11.1 minutes. Usually 3% take that long (this airport, the last 7 days). Measured by Tailodds from FAA surface surveillance; it does not show why.
