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 1.) tower height, 2.) proximity to an airport, 3.) tower location, and
4.) 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 the 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 doesn’t 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 a filing has been requested by the FAA
