[TowerTalk] Tower heights near private airfields

[Tim Duffy]

Hello Mike:

I have dealt with your exact question myself. Private airfields are not
subject to FAA protection as far as tower structures are concerned. Only
public use air facilities are. 

There is no harm filing an FAA 7460-1, however it will ask you for the
nearest public use air facility, thus the private air strip may not be known
to the FAA because it is not public.

My good friend Fred, NP2X covered many of your questions a few years ago on
this reflector.

Hi guys,

    Looking at a new QTH. It turns out that the neightbor to my east is a
pilot and flies on occasion from his 2000' long driveway/runway that runs
north and south.  My property would be parallel to the runway but not off
either end.  I was searching the web trying to find something on whether a
private airfiled (driveway) is an airport, and/or would I need to follow the
FAA notification policy assuming he has somekind of a structure height
football surrounding his place.  Has anyone dealt with this one already that
could point me in the right direction?  

Thanks in advance.

73   Mike K9MK
