What this outcome means

The FAA sent the case back to the filer rather than issuing a determination. This is the most common non-clean outcome and usually means something has to change or be supplied before the study can finish — not that the project was refused.

The proposal, in the filer's words

"(1) geotechnical boring drilled to 25 feet below the ground surface to collect soil samples for design"

Screening a structure of your own?

Check Part 77 and the tower's line of sight before you file
