Why? FAR Part 77 - Sharing Airspace

Who? Everyone

Criteria for FilingYou must file with the FAA at least 45 days prior to construction if your structure:

Will exceed 200ft above ground level

Will be in proximity to an airport and will exceed the slope ratio listed in part 77.9(b)

Criteria for Filing continued… Involves construction of a traverse way (i.e.

highway, railroad, waterway etc...) and once adjusted upward with the appropriate vertical distance would exceed a standard of part 77.9(a) or (b)

Will emit frequencies, and does not meet the conditions of the FAA Co-location Policy

Will be in an instrument approach area and might exceed part 77 Subpart C

Will be in proximity to a navigation facility and may impact the assurance of navigation signal reception

Will be on an airport or heliport Filing has been requested by the FAA

What Information is Required?Be sure to include the follow with your case: Map, Sketch, or Drawing Visual Representation Proposed Location Coordinates from Highest Point to

Runway Distances from Rwy Centerline (out &

over) Glare Analysis (solar array)

Solar Array Solar project proposal boundary corner

points and design plan Vertical tilt Horizontal Azimuth/Bearing the structure is

facing Solar Panel Manufacturer/Type/Specifications Mechanics of the structure FAA approved Solar Glare Study as requested

ALP Depict all existing/future proposed

structures and equipment Include any and all approved pen and

ink changes Depict all NAS facility critical areas Upload electronic copy of

proposed/revised ALP for review ALP Checklist ARP SOP 2.00http://www.faa.gov/airports/resources/sops/media/arp-SOP-200-ALP-Review.pdf

Buildings Site plan with footprint and

latitude/longitude location If available, site plan with airport layout

showing orientation to runway(s) Physical building dimensions Vertical profile drawing for each building side Roof construction with vertical profile Material Composition Identify any additional exterior metallic

accessories

Fences and Powerlines General site plan and latitude/longitude

coordinates Power Lines/Utility Lines Pole or tower design detail for each structure Capacity of each line run Number of lines with tower-to-tower point-to-

point line details (i.e. straight run, twisted configuration, etc.)

MSL/AGL/AMSL of each pole/tower

Wind Turbines All proposals for wind turbines and met

towers regardless of whether they are on airport property or not should be filed as Off Airport Construction filings so they can be processed by the FAA's Obstruction Evaluation Group.

Miscellaneous Bridges will require site plan, dimensions,

vertical profile drawing, and construction details and coordinate locations. In addition, reference to either True North or Airport layout depicting runway configuration.

Stadium Lighting will require site plan, dimensions, vertical profile drawing, and construction details and coordinate locations. In addition, reference to either True North or Airport layout depicting runway configuration. Orientation of lighting is required to assess potential visibility blockage and possible glare for ATCT.

Miscellaneous Bill Board Structures will require site plan,

dimensions, and construction details and coordinate locations, and an identification if bill board is digital. In addition, reference to either True North or Airport layout depicting runway configuration.

Flagpoles will require a site plan, coordinates, and elevation data, dimensions and materials. Actual flag dimensions will be required to assess potential visibility obstruction for ATCT.

Smoke Stacks will require site plan, dimensions, vertical profile drawing, construction details, and materials and coordinate locations. In addition, expected smoke plumes will need to be addressed to assess potential visibility obstruction for ATCT.

What is Evaluated by FAABefore issuing a determination the FAA Divisions will review: Part 77 TERPS Airport Design Standards Electromagnetic Interference Frequency Interference Line of Site for Airports with Control

Terminology Proposed – Case has been submitted

and FAA analysis has begun.

Circularized – Case has been found to be a penetration and is being disseminated for public comment.

Determined – Case is complete.

Refiling or Changing the Case Once you have filed an NRA case, the

only way to change data is to refile. If you need to change dates of

construction, FAA or NHDOT can update that information.
