Crane to Replace Rooftop Equip. at Gate A3
Philadelphia, PA · near Philadelphia Intl (0.4 mi)
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
"Philadelphia International Airport is replacing air handling units on the roof of Concourse A-East. A total of 2 new units will be installed using a temporary crane at Gate A-3 and Gate A-9. Only one lift will occur at a time and the crane will be properly marked. Crane elevation will not exceed 150 feet. A separate 7460 case will be submitted for the crane use at each gate. For each 7460 case a separate crane lift plan will be provided that provides the crane specifications and indicates the footprint of the crane and location of the equipment on the rooftop."
