I liked this because you’re much higher than you’d be during river visual. You end up going pretty far south before hooking around to line up for landing.
This was BOS->DCA. I’d guess you need to be on a route that’s originates north east of DCA and flies direct into DCA . Bos, jfk, lga, islip, phl.

Using CLIPR2, you're usually between 5,000 and 7,500 feet when you pass DC. As noted above, depending on the traffic at DCA, you might do your baseline turn as quickly as the Wilson Bridge, most commonly near Fort Washington, or significantly further down the river as far as La Plata.
