Crane for Front End Flare Tip Replacement
Waggaman, LA · near Louis Armstrong New Orleans Intl (2.2 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
"Requesting Lower Height (AGL). A crane will be used to replace the flare tip on the Front End Flare. The final height of the front end flare will not change. The same crane will be utilized for both the backend and frontend flare work"
