If U look at the ILS RWY 1 at DCA the BADON Intersection is just 13 feet under 1600' AGL and 4.8 NM from the Threshold with another 1007' to the touch down poung. so lwts say 5 NM from BADON INT. 1200/1600 = .75 .75 x 5 NM = 3.75 NM from the touch down poing 3.75 NM 1.15 = 4.31 //statute Miles from tough dow. Now while mesuring from the TD on RWY 1 to the geographical center of the DCA airport we add another 2600'+- and we now have 4.31sm + .5sm and we end up with aproximitly 4.81 sm from the DCA airport. Pretty close to 5 Statute miles. I'd Say.
Still he probably should not of been tha high anyway.
Even if one would get a Circle to Land from RWY 19 (the opposit end) they have to stay at 980 MSL and 1-1/2 miles from the airport.
