Towair says I'm good, but what are the distance requirements before it is an 
issue?

I'd like some ballpark guidelines at least. Any tips? Something not in this 
horrible FCC tech/legaleze nonsense?

  There is one at 140ft closer to the airport than my planned one will be, only 
looking for a 50ft mini pop to hit a few houses behind a hill.

  I'll check out the site.

  Thanks guys.

    i like safely landing rather than getting snagged outa the air by a tower 
;-) 


    seriously though, the FCC and the FAA work together to make sure the 
national airspace is safe for everyone.  


    there are ways to get a tower near an airport if they are in the right spot 
and/or not too tall as to create a problem.

      It is quite a distance away where you are still required to pass the 
glide slope, and notify them of any frequency changes.  I know that every tower 
that I have looked into building within a couple miles has failed the test in 
towair.  Still looking for alternatives.  I just hate all the red tape.

        Put it in to the towair website and see if it passes or fails.

          What is the legality of towers near airports?

          How high, how far does it need to be from the airport, etc?
