Tall tower construction or alteration

• Conditions for building tall towers (Trans 56)  

• The first step you must take, as the tall tower sponsor, is to determine if an FAA case study is required.  To do this, go to the OE/AAA website, use the Notice Criteria Tool on the lower left side of the webpage to determine if you need to file a notice of proposed construction with the FAA. If the FAA requests that you file, follow the ‘Instructions on how to E-file’ link on the OE/AAA home-page, it will guide you through the filing process.
