FAA Form 7460-1 Filing Services
FAA Form 7460-1, the Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, starts the FAA's obstruction evaluation (OE/AAA) review. An incomplete or inaccurate filing can add weeks of questions or produce a more restrictive determination than the project needed. Airspace Strategy Advisors prepares, files and tracks Form 7460-1 notices through to a determination.
What's included
- Notice screening: confirm which structures and cranes meet the 14 CFR 77.9 notice criteria.
- Data review: check coordinates, ground elevations and heights, including rooftop equipment and antennas, before anything is filed.
- Filing: prepare and submit each notice through the OE/AAA website as your representative.
- Tracking: follow each aeronautical study, answer FAA questions and keep you informed.
- Determination review: explain any conditions, such as marking and lighting under FAA Advisory Circular 70/7460-1.
- Follow-through: extension requests and Form 7460-2 notices when construction starts and reaches full height.
Cranes and temporary equipment
A building with a valid determination can still be delayed by its cranes. Each crane that meets the notice criteria needs its own Form 7460-1, and its determination may carry conditions of its own. Airspace Strategy Advisors plans crane filings alongside the building so equipment approvals are in hand before mobilization.
