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
"Proposal of our intent to erect and operate a 300-ton Manitowoc crane at our project site.\n\nThe crane will have a maximum structure height of 196 feet and a maximum operating height of 196 feet above grade. In accordance with standard aviation safety practices the crane will be equipped with a red flashing obstruction light and an orange and white FAA-compliant flag installed at the tip of the boom.\n\nThe crane will be utilized for structural erection activities associated with the project. We acknowledge the project’s proximity to a military installation and understand the importance of complying with all applicable FAA regulations and airspace coordination requirements."
