In administering Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR)
Part 77, the prime objectives of the FAA are to promote air safety
and the efficient use of the navigable airspace. To accomplish
this mission, aeronautical studies are conducted based on information
provided by proponents on an FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed
Construction or Alteration.
Advisory Circular 70/7460-1L, Obstruction Marking and Lighting,
describes the standards for marking and lighting structures
such as buildings, chimneys, antenna towers, cooling towers,
storage tanks, supporting structures of overhead wires, etc.
OE/AAA Filing Process
If your organization is planning to sponsor any construction
or alterations which may affect navigable airspace, you must file a Notice of Proposed Construction or
Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1)
either electronically via this website or manually with the FAA.
