First study up on the allowable tower heights and distances from the runway.  
If it is in violation just keep your mouth shut.  As I recall the slopes are 
worse off the ends but I have a faulty memory.

If you are under the inverted cone with clearance you can file and you will get 
it, but you may have to do some NEPA crap to prove you did not dig up an indian 
grave when you put it in.

Subject: [AFMUG] TOWAIR and ASR for existing tower

We have a tower next to a commercial building, I think it’s a 45 or 50 ft 
probably Rohn 45G.  It is near a smallish regional airport but pretty much 90 
degrees to the runway.  We need to swap out the 5 GHz backhaul links on this 
tower for licensed.

 

The frequency coordinator is telling us that according to TOWAIR we need to 
file for an ASR, I assume they mean not just with the FCC but with the FAA.

 

By doing so, are we opening Pandora’s box, where they tell us not only is our 
request denied, we have to take down the tower that has been there for 20 
years?  Is this one of those things where we will really regret asking the 
question and should have just kept quiet and suffered with the 5 GHz 
interference?
