Determination of no hazardDetermined - No Hazard259 ft AGL

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

"Purpose of filing is due to new construction of building Z47 at Tesla Giga Factory which is approximately 0.5 miles north of address 1 Tesla Rd Austin TX 78725. During project multiple lattice boom cranes will be in service during construction operations. The tallest crane configuration (275TN crawler) has a total structure height of 259 FT with an overall height of 691 above sea level. Permanent structure filing (2026-ASW-8953-OE) has been submitted on 6/04/26."

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.
