WICHITA FALLS DPS OFFICE TOWER
WICHITA FALLS, TX · near Sheppard Afb/Wichita Falls Muni (2.6 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
"Development of a 100’ self-supporting radio communications tower to be located at the DPS Wichita Falls office located at 5505 Central East Freeway Wichita Falls TX in Wichita County (33°59'2.13\N 98°32'15.48\" W). The tower is intended to support licensed/unlicensed microwave and other radio communications antenna systems and will serve as a radio communications site in planned PUBLIC SAFETY network radio communications designs.""
