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

"Staging Area 2. Typical construction equipment and materials to be stored in this location. Equipment and material include but not limited to backhoe(s) and/or trencher skid steer(s) construction trailer construction vehicles lull forklift cable spools steel reinforcing bar handhole and light cans. All equipment will be stored in their lowered position outside the ROFA when not in use."

Screening a structure of your own?

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.
