Construction

I've been told that I need to file for an obstruction evaluation with the FAA for my project. What is this?

An obstruction evaluation is required for the FAA to determine potential impacts from buildings, construction, or other activities on navigable airspace.

How do I file an obstruction evaluation with the FAA?

FAA obstruction evaluations can be submitted online at Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) website.

What is a “7460”?

“7460” refers to FAA Form 7460-1 "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration", which is the form used for obstruction evaluations. You can use the FAA obstruction evaluation website to file these forms electronically.

What information do I need to file the obstruction evaluation?

Submit data points for the height of each structure. Structures include, without limitation, antennas, building parapets, mechanical penthouses, building corners, light poles, and wind turbines. Also, be aware that structures also include temporary equipment like cranes and drilling rigs. For each data point, provide latitude, longitude, site elevation, structure height above ground level, frequencies (if applicable), etc. as identified on the FAA obstruction evaluation website.

Do I need to file for my cranes and drilling rigs during construction?

Yes. Make sure you submit the data for all cranes, drilling rigs, etc. as soon as possible.

How long does the FAA take to complete its evaluation?

Due to the volume of evaluations that the FAA receives, plan for approximately four to six weeks.

What will be the result of their evaluation?

Depending on the FAA's evaluation, the result will either be a "no hazard determination" or a hazard determination.

How do I check the status of my obstruction evaluation?

When you submit your data points, you will receive a reference number (“case number”). You can input the case number on the FAA obstruction evaluation website.

I don’t have the data points for the cranes or drilling rigs on my project right now. What do I need to do?

As soon as you know the type of equipment you're using (particularly the number of pieces and their maximum height) and your schedule, determine the data points and submit as soon as possible.

Is there anything that the Airport can do to speed up the FAA process?

No. The Airport has no influence over a federal regulatory process.

Misc.

Can I ship an animal to Glendale Regional Airport?

NO!!!

Please do not pay anyone to ship animals to the Glendale Regional Airport. They are scammers.

The only airport in the Phoenix metro area that can receive or send animals is Phoenix Sky Harbor and legitimate animals will always be shipped via the cargo department of a major airline like American, United, Delta, Southwest, etc.

YOU MUST NEVER PAY ANYONE TO SHIP ANIMALS TO GLENDALE REGIONAL AIRPORT!!!

IT IS A SCAM.

No. The Airport is exclusively a general aviation airport. Glendale is well served by two nearby commercial airports within a 30 - 60 minute drive: Sky Harbor International and Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport.

Does the Airport have a customs office located on site?

No, the Airport does not have a customs office.
