Tuesday 10/7/25 20:53Z (4:53pm local) - USPP Eagle-1 (N11PP) requests clearance for Medevac call to Memorial Bridge under the Rwy 19 arrival path (actually landed at Memorial Circle on the VA side, not on the bridge itself). JBU855 on short final continued inbound with visual separation approved for Eagle-1 traveling Northbound along Route 1. Some misunderstanding/miscommunication appeared to cause some (rare) frustration between Tower and Eagle.
AAL2720 approach clearance canceled and sent back to Final, 4 others on Final given delay vectors. Departures continued. Fuel and alternates discussed given unknown timeframe for the delay but was not needed, Eagle medevac was canceled ~21:04Z and arrivals resumed inbound ~21:06Z, with brief hold for a departure per new separation rules as Eagle returned on the same route back to Anacostia.
This was the 3rd Medevac/SAR call for Eagle into the Rwy 19 arrival path in the past 4 days.
Attached combo Heli/Tower/Final/OJAAY from 2053-2108Z timeframe, edited for time and content and comms overlaps, not realtime etc.
