The descent into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is one of the trickiest for pilots to navigate due to its complex airspace. With the addition of President Trump’s proposed 250-ft “triumphal arch,” there will be yet another obstacle to consider. CNN’s Sunlen Serfaty visits a flight simulator to see how pilots will handle the approach.

Also, the Trump administration seeks to rewrite rules about historic preservation, clearing the way for the president’s pet projects including the arch. And the administration plans a new helipad on the White House’s South Lawn.
