Temporary Wind Cone
Aguadilla, PR · near Rafael Hernandez (0.8 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
"As part of the construction of the proposed Runway 9-27 at Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) earthworks will be performed that affect the existing wind cone serving Runway 8-26. Therefore a temporary relocation is required to maintain runway operability during construction activities.\n\nThe relocation site will support the installation and operation of the wind cone and will accommodate the necessary construction equipment material handling and associated activities required to execute the relocation work.\n\nAll temporary installations will be removed upon completion of the construction phase and the area will be restored to its original condition in full compliance with airport standards and FAA requirements."
