Mike has it right, go to the website. Generally anything close to the
airport 20 ft above any existing structure or trees with need to be determined
hazard or non hazard to air navigation. You can actually go to the site and
check
the glide slope distances from where your tower will be and it will tell you
if you have to or do not have to file. I had to file, I am in the glide
slope of the last 3000 ft to the runway approach/take off. My aeronautical
study
number was 2002-AEA-560-OE, it took about 10 months for them to complete the
study, I was determined a NON air hazard and they did not require painting or
lighting. Once this was done I was required to file the info with the FCC,
you have too because the FAA sends them the info electronically, I received a
letter from the FCC months later asking if the construction was completed and
what's going on. I entered the info online at the website and was issued
immediately FCC Antenna Structure Registration number 1236850. You are going
to
need real specs of the position..GPS does not cut it. I got lucky ..I knew a
guy at the airport who hooked me up with the Cecil the FAA Control tower
manager , who than hooked me up with the OE..Obstruction Specialist for the
area
and he has special software that he can figure out all that bull crap with a
7.5 minute map? I think that's what I got and marked where my house was on
that map and sent it into him with the forms. Bob his name was and a nice guy
too, sent me all the forms and said just sign everything and put down the
freqs you will be using and at what powers, and fill out nothing else I will
take
care of it for you. He said tower companies need to hire surveyors to plot
the exact position that usually runs into the thousands !!!! Be aware of this
! I went thru it all, if you want to know any details just email me, I know
the facts about this not hearsay. Rotten planes and airports they all should be
banned , noise and air polluters that's about it.
