Worth,TX to Washington National,DC (USA), was on a visual River Approach to National Airport's runway 19 descending through 800 feet about 0.25nm west of the Key Bridge over the Potomac River, when the crew initiated a go around after receiving a TCAS resolution advisory. The aircraft climbed back up to 3000 feet, positioned for another approach to National's runway 19 and landed safely about 7 minutes after going around.
