**DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION FOR TEMPORARY STRUCTURE**

The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C., Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:

Structure: Crane Construction Crane Location: Fort Myers, FL Latitude: 26-35-42.77N NAD 83 Longitude: 81-51-19.60W Heights: 19 feet site elevation (SE)

120 feet above ground level (AGL) 139 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)

This aeronautical study revealed that the temporary structure does exceed obstruction standards but would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the condition(s), if any, in this letter is (are) met:

**SEE ATTACHMENT FOR ADDITIONAL CONDITION(S) OR INFORMATION**

This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights, frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights and frequencies or use of greater power, except those frequencies specified in the Colo Void Clause Coalition; Antenna System Co-Location; Voluntary Best Practices, effective 21 Nov 2007, will void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights, power or the addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA. This determination includes all previously filed frequencies and power for this structure.

This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be used during actual construction of a structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the

FAA.

This determination concerns the effect of this temporary structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.

A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Aviation Administration Flight Procedures Office if the structure is subject to the issuance of a Notice To Airman (NOTAM).

If you have any questions, please contact our office at (404) 305-6462, or mike.blaich@faa.gov. On any future correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical Study Number 2021-ASO-37239-OE

Proposal: To construct and/or operate a(n) Crane to a height of 120 feet above ground level, 139 feet above mean sea level.

Location: The structure will be located 0.66 nautical miles northeast of FMY Airport reference point.

Part 77 Obstruction Standard(s) Exceeded and Aeronautical Impacts, if any:

Based on this aeronautical study, the structure would not constitute a substantial adverse effect on aeronautical operations or procedures because it will be temporary. The temporary structure would not be considered a hazard to air navigation provided all of the conditions specified in this determination are strictly met.

As a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory circular 70/7460-1 M, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, flags/red lights-Chapters 3(Marked),4,5(Red),14(Temporary),&15.

Any failure or malfunction that lasts more than thirty (30) minutes and affects a top light or flashing obstruction light, regardless of its position, should be reported immediately to (877) 487-6867 so a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) can be issued. As soon as the normal operation is restored, notify the same number.

It is required that the FAA be notified 5 business days prior to the temporary structure being erected and again when the structure is removed from the site. Notification should be made to this office through your registered e-filing account. Notification is necessary so that aeronautical procedures can be temporarily modified to accommodate the structure.

NOTIFICATION IS REQUIRED AGAIN THROUGH YOUR REGISTERED E-FILING ACCOUNT

WHEN THE TEMPORARY STRUCTURE IS REMOVED FROM THE SITE FOR NOTICE TO

AIRMAN (NOTAM) CANCELLATION.

It is required that the manager of PAGE FLD, (239) 590-6601 be notified at least 5 business days prior to the temporary structure being erected and again when the structure is removed from the site.

It is required that the manager of Page Field ATCT at 239-936-7867 be notified at least 5 business days prior to the temporary structure being erected and again when the structure is removed from the site. Additionally, please provide contact information for the onsite operator in the event that Air Traffic Control requires the temporary structure to be lowered immediately.

This determination expires on 08/12/2023 unless extended, revised, or terminated by the issuing office.

NOTE: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF THIS DETERMINATION MUST

BE E-FILED AT LEAST 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. AFTER RE-EVALUATION

OF CURRENT OPERATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE STRUCTURE TO DETERMINE THAT NO

SIGNIFICANT AERONAUTICAL CHANGES HAVE OCCURRED, YOUR DETERMINATION MAY BE

ELIGIBLE FOR ONE EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD.

AGL = Above Ground Level AMSL = Above Mean Sea Level NM = Nautical Miles ARP = Airport Reference Point RWY = Runway ASN = Aeronautical Study Number IFR = Instrument Flight Rule DER = Departure End of Runway RNAV = Area Navigation GPS = Global Positioning System LPV = Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance DA = Decision Altitude VFR = Visual Flight Rule ATIS = Automated Terminal Information Service

To use a Temporary Crane to a height of 120 feet AGL, 139 feet AMSL, would be located 1,282 feet from RWY 23 and approximately 0.66 NM northeast of the Page Field Airport (FMY) ARP, Fort Myers, FL.

The proposed temporary crane (used for bridge construction) has been identified as an obstruction under the standards of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 77 as follows:

Section 77.17(a)(3) - a height that increases minimum instrument flight altitudes within a terminal area (TERPS criteria).

Obstacle penetrates RWY 05 40:1 Departure Surface by 95 feet. Qualifies as low, close-in penetration with climb gradient termination altitude 200 feet or less above DER, requiring TAKE-OFF MINIMUM AND (OBSTACLE) DEPARTURE PROCEDURES, NOTE: RWY 05, crane 1094 feet from DER, 666 feet left of centerline.

RNAV (GPS) RWY 23, (missed approach penetration) LPV DA from 274 to 344.

Section 77.17 (a) (5): The surface of a takeoff and landing area of an airport or any imaginary surface established under 77.19, 77.21, or 77.23. However, no part of the takeoff or landing area itself will be considered an obstruction.

Section 77.19 (e) FMY: Transition Surface. These surfaces extend outward and upward at right angles to the runway centerline and the runway centerline extended at a slope of 7 to 1 from the sides of the primary surface and from the sides of the approach surfaces. Transitional surfaces for those portions of the precision approach surface which project through and beyond the limits of the conical surface extend a distance of 5,000 feet measured horizontally from the edge of the approach surface and at right angles to the runway centerline. The proposal will exceed Runway 05/23 Transition Surface by 91 feet.

The proposals would also be located within the traffic pattern airspace (TPA) for all categories of aircraft using FMY. The proposals would exceed the RWY 05/23 Transitional Surface by 31 feet.

The temporary crane does not constitute substantial adverse effect because the equipment would be temporary and would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the conditions are strictly met.

Additional conditions:

1. The temporary crane operator shall contact the FMY Airport Manager at 239-590-6601 a minimum of 5-business days prior to the temporary crane being raised, and when operations are complete.

2. The temporary crane operator shall contact FMY Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Manager at 239-936-7867 a minimum of 5-business days prior to the temporary crane being raised, daily when the crane is raised, and when operations are complete and the crane is lowered each day.

3. The temporary crane operator shall maintain a form of direct two-way communications at all times by providing his phone number on initial contact.

4. Hours of operation shall be determined by the Airport Manager and ATCT.

5. Information to pilots regarding the location and height of the crane, and any runway related actions via local Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and ATIS shall be at the discretion of the Airport Manager/ATCT.

6. The temporary crane shall be lowered to the ground when not in use, between the hours determined by the Airport Manager and the ATCT, in conditions less than VFR (contact the ATCT for updated weather before raising the crane), during inclement weather, or when instructed to do so by the ATCT.

7. The sponsor shall ensure the crane, as a condition to this Determination, the structure is to be marked/lighted in accordance with FAA Advisory circular 70/7460-1 M, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, flags/red lights- Chapters 3 (Marked), 4, 5 (Red), 14 (Temporary), and 15. The advisory circular is available for viewing at the following website: https://oeaaa.faa.gov.

8. The method for "e-filing" a NOTAM request to mitigate the IFR impacts must be followed as outlined below at least 5-business days in advance by the Sponsor or Representative to ensure the safety of air navigation and to personnel and property on the ground.
