[baldiedc]

Meanwhile at DCA, Friday 5/30/25 ~1900Z / 3pm ET

1859.00Z AAL2297 A320 to PBI cleared for immediate takeoff Rwy 19 with traffic (EDV5221 CRJ) on 2.25 mi final.  EDV5221 cleared to land Rwy 19
1859.41Z AAL2297 calls rejection (audible on LiveATC feed but stepped on by other comms, presumably missed by Tower)
1859.52Z AAL2297 calls rejection again, clearing Rwy 19
1859.59Z EDV5221 calls go-around, responded by Tower for right turn 250 up to 3000 and back to DCA Final 124.7

AAL2297 paused on taxiway, stated reason for rejection "configuration warning for (?)".  AAL2297 switched to Ground, returned to a gate and later departed at 20:20Z.

EDV5221 switched to DCA Final 124.7 rather than departure, went around and landed 19:09Z.
