I’m moving to Texas and have found a house that suits most of our needs with
one exception – the same one that KEEPS ruling out property unfortunately in
this “rules and regulation” age... anyway the house is 4554M from the nearest
airport – and according to TOWAIR the tower I WANT to have is 55’ too tall
(160’ tower). So I have to register the tower with the FCC... but to do that I
have to have a “no hazards” declaration from the FAA!
This sounds like a LONG process and possibly one that will fail in the end. If
I can’t put up the tower I want on this land (over 7 acres) then I’ve no need
for that much land... so – I would love to hear from those that have gone
through this process. How does one get a “no hazards” declaration? How likely
is it to get one? How long of a process? Then what about the fcc registration –
is that just a matter of doing it or is there also a chance of getting shot
down there as well (i.e. is it only the FAA that I have to worry about or
both)?
I’m aware of the rules regarding slopes etc and intervening objects of which
there are none. I’d really like to know this is a “done-deal” type of thing
BEFORE making an offer in the next few weeks – if at all possible.
Informed help would be greatly appreciated.
