Submit Notification to the FAA.pdf

This is an excerpt from federal aviation regulations (14 CFR Part 77) regarding FAA notification requirements for construction and alterations at airports and heliports. The document outlines mandatory FAA Form 7460-1 submission procedures for airfield and heliport planning and design work.

Contractors must submit FAA Form 7460-1 (Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration) at least 45 days prior to construction start date or permit filing, whichever is earlier. Notice is required for: construction or alterations exceeding 200 feet above ground level (AGL); structures extending outward and upward from following slopes—100 to 1 ratio for 20,000 feet from runways longer than 3,200 feet, 50 to 1 ratio for 10,000 feet from shorter runways, and 25 to 1 ratio for 5,000 feet from helipad landing areas; certain highway and mobile object clearances; and specific airport categories. FAA Form 7460-1 is available at FAA regional offices and online. The regulation specifically identifies that construction or alteration on airports operated by Federal agencies or the Department of Defense requires FAA notification. Emergency construction may be notified within five days of initial FAA notice. The document also references coordination with the Federal Communications Commission when licensing requirements apply.
