Up to 205 documents now in the docket, including composite CVR transcript. Couple of things jumped out:

1. PAT25 PF started to turn right at Cabin John (American Legion Bridge), which would have taken them toward Great Falls; i.e., up the Potomac. IP had to tell PF to turn left, which would start track down Potomac River (helo route 1). Odd. Not the best SA by PF.

2. No discussion in the PAT25 cockpit about the called CRJ traffic.

3. PSA Captain/PF expressed to PM a preference for continuing to runway 1 but accepted runway 33. Media will make a big deal out of this. I don’t think it is.
