If any portion of the proposal is located within 20,000 feet of a public use runway (and breaks a 100:1 plane coming off the nearest point of the nearest runway) ; or, is more than 200 feet above ground level at any location, the FAA requires the project's proponent to file a Form 7460-1. If the proposal does not meet any of the criteria above, it may still be necessary to file a Form 7460-1 if the structure requires an FCC license. IlliThe FAA uses information provided on this form to conduct an airspace analysis to determine if the proposal will pose an aeronautical hazard and to minimize the adverse effects to aviation. FAA Form 7460-1 can be filed electronically at www.oeaaa.faa.9ov. This website also has a tool to assist the proponent in determining whether or not they must file.
