WE TOOK OFF FROM DCA ARPT. THE CAPT WAS FLYING. THE CAPT BEGAN TO DRIFT INTO P-56; THE PROHIBITED AREA ENCOMPASSING THE WHITE HOUSE; CAPITAL; WASHINGTON MONUMENT AND THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL. I SAID; 'X; YOU ARE DRIFTING TO THE R.' HE SAID; 'YEAH!' AFTER SEEING NO ACTION FOR 5-10 SECONDS; I SAID; 'X; YOU'RE ON TOP OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.' HE SAID SHARPLY; 'I KNOW WHERE I AM!' WE JUST CUT THE WESTERN EDGE OF P-56. THE 328 DEG RADIAL WAS FULL SCALE TO THE L. THE DCA 328 DEG RADIAL IS THE OFFICIAL DEP PROC TO REMAIN CLR OF P-56. THIS WAS THE FIRST FLT OF A 3-DAY TRIP. I HAVE BEEN A FO FOR THE AIRLINE FOR 6 YRS. I JUST MET THIS CAPT ABOUT 30 MINS BEFORE TKOF. WE HAD NOT FLOWN TOGETHER BEFORE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPT HAS NOT HEARD FROM THE FAA ON THIS MATTER. THE REST OF THE TRIP WENT QUITE WELL AFTER THIS RATHER SHAKY START. THE RPTR HAD HEARD SOME SIMILAR STORIES REGARDING THIS CAPT. THE RPTR WORKS FOR AN ACR THAT IS MADE UP OF PLTS FROM MANY OTHER ACRS THAT WERE MERGED. THERE ARE MANY MINOR DIFFERENCES IN OPERATING PHILOSOPHY IN THE PRESENT ACR.
