Also, remember this is based on flat ground, if you have a slope away from the airport, you'll find it is either higher or lower based on the relative ground elevation.
The location of our main office/router/core is actually above the glide slope, because the ground slopes up enough from the end of the runway to exceed the 50:1 or 100:1 or whatever it is at the distance we are. So even a short tower needs a FAA determination. On Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 6:15 PM <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: > Depends on how far you are away.
