One thing to keep in mind when dealing with airports is found in the
listing below. If it is a "private" airport, the FAA rules do not apply. I
made the mistake of going to the FAA before I realized this. I have a
document from the FAA here that states: "not an obstruction under any rules"
but also says "should light the tower." Hmmm. The airport near me is a
private one, not public. Therefore, I will not light my tower.

Sec. 77.2 Definition of terms.
For the purpose of this part:
"Airport available for public use" means an airport that is open to the
general public with or without a prior request to use the airport.
