Thanks.  Very cool, although lots of information in a language I don’t speak.  
I don’t think our tower is on the pdf.  The ones that are called out are more 
like 200-400 feet tall.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] TOWAIR and ASR for existing tower

 

I doubt it will be much of an issue.  It may already be on the approach charts 
and factored into the airport approaches already even without an ASR.   The 
process will take some time but I wouldn’t expect it to be a big deal.

 

Go to www.airnav.com <http://www.airnav.com> , look up the airport.  See if it 
has any IAPs - Instrument procedures listed.  Download the pdf and see if you 
see the tower on it.

 

The towers are the ^ symbols with the MSL (Sea Level Height) of the top of the 
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?
