FAA Part 77 Quick Check

Enter your structure height, ground elevation, and the distance to your nearest airport. This tool computes a simplified screening estimate to tell you whether your project likely penetrates a FAA Part 77 notice surface — and whether you should file a Form 7460-1.

Screening estimate only — not a determination. This tool applies a simplified 100:1 slope from the airport reference point elevation. A full Part 77 analysis accounts for individual runway-end elevations, all imaginary-surface types, terrain, curvature, and refraction. Read the methodology.

Height from the ground to the top of the highest point (antenna, parapet, mechanical equipment).

Look up via the USGS National Map or a topographic map.

ft

Measure from the airport reference point (ARP) to your structure in Google Maps (right-click → Measure distance). 1 mile = 5,280 ft. The FAA notice radius is 20,000 ft (≈ 3.8 miles) from any runway end longer than 3,200 ft.
