What is the maximum height above ground for an antenna structure not near a public use airport without requiring notification to the FAA?

150 feet
200 feet
250 feet
300 feet

The correct answer is: 200 feet

The maximum height above ground for an antenna structure not located near a public use airport that does not require notification to the FAA is 200 feet. This regulation is designed to ensure safety in the airspace surrounding airports, while also allowing for some flexibility in antenna construction for non-flying objects. Structures under this height generally are not considered to pose a significant hazard to air navigation. Specifically, antennas exceeding 200 feet must be registered with the FAA to evaluate their potential impact on aviation safety, while those below this threshold can typically be constructed without additional regulatory concerns. Understanding these regulations is crucial for operators to ensure compliance and maintain safety. The other height options exceed this threshold and would then necessitate FAA notification.
