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
"Solar PV carport arrays planned for parking lots at the Airbus Consolidated Distribution Center (ACDC) site at 1501 Raven Dr Mobile AL 36605. Please see the attached glare study with PV arrays and installed capacity (kWp) listed below. The arrays will have solar PV modules with 7-degree tilt and maximum height of 19'. The arrays will include lighting attached under the canopies to illuminate the parking areas."

Check Part 77 and the tower's line of sight before you file
LOS Analyzer screens a proposed structure against FAA Part 77 surfaces and the control tower's sightline to the runway, terrain-aware, in minutes. It is a preliminary screening — not an FAA determination and not a substitute for a licensed engineering review.
