We present a new heuristic algorithm for computing a minimum Feedback Arc Set in directed graphs. The new technique produces solutions that are better than the ones produced by the best previously known heuristics, often reducing the FAS size by more than 50 nodes of the directed line graph of the input directed graph. Although the time required by our heuristic is heavily influenced by the size of the produced line graph, our experimental results show that it runs very fast even for very large graphs used in graph drawing.
