Antenna tower · 2026
2905 Antenna Tower Site
Patuxent River, MD · near Patuxent River Nas (Trapnell Fld) (0.8 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"OE request is in support of an antenna tower that will only be raised to a maximum height of 35' during specific periods of operation. Tower is trailer mounted and when not in use the tower nests within itself at a resting height of 6'7\.""

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