Notice Criteria Tool (to determine if a filing is required under
FAA Part 77 Regulations)
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/gisTools/gisAction.jsp?action=showNoNoticeRequiredToolForm
The requirements for filing proposed
structures with the Federal Aviation Administration depend on several
factors, including: tower height, proximity to an airport, tower
location, and proposed frequencies. For FAA Part 77 regulations see:
CFR Title 14 Part 77.9. Specifically, you must file with the FAA at
least 45 days prior to construction if:
⢠The structure will exceed 200ft
above ground level
⢠The structure will be in proximity
to an airport and exceed the slope ratio
⢠The structure involves construction
of a traverse-way (i.e. highway, railroad, waterway etc…) and once
adjusted upward with the appropriate vertical distance would exceed a
standard of 77.9(a) or (b)
⢠The structure will emit
frequencies, and doesnât meet FAA Co-location Policy
⢠The proposed structure is in an
instrument landing approach zone and might exceed the criteria in
part 77 Subpart C
⢠The proposed structure would be in
proximity to a navigation facility and might impact air navigation
communications
⢠The proposed structure is on an
airport or heliport property
⢠If filing has been requested by the
FAA
