So…………… Does the FBO know this or will it be a surprise in the morning with the first plane on final???!!!
HA! Depends on the landing strip. Rome Air Force Base, yes. Small county strip, heck no! Here in Ohio, most landing strips were just a mile of asphalt to start. Then extended. No real base there. As a side note, the county where I am were GIVEN a 300 foot ATT long lines tower. They immediately demolished it as an air hazard because it was close to the county strip. (We actually used the thing as a marker when turning onto the base leg on approach) Now, of course, they are kicking themselves for the cash they are spending on new towers for the safety services.

As we would normally cement in the rods that the tower is mounted onto, I need to know how it would be done when the concrete is already there. Anyone doing this or is it just not the way to go? _____ From: Robert West [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 September 2010 23:38 To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tower Footings I would want to know the concrete strength, if it had rebar in it and how deep and wide it goes. As well if they are belled out. I’m all for saving a bunch of bucks but gotta make sure you stay within specs for the new tower. Also, bolting onto the old foundation, go deep!

We have only ever installed a tower by digging fresh foundations and was wondering if anyone knows of an acceptable techniche for mounting directly onto existing foundations or if this is just not a very good idea at all.
