Which of the following additional rules apply if you are erecting an amateur station antenna structure at a site at or near a public use airport?
- A.You may have to notify the Federal Aviation Administration and register it with the FCC as required by Part 17 of the FCC rules (correct answer)
- B.You may have to enter the height above ground in meters, and the latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds on the FAA website

- D.You must obtain a construction permit from the airport zoning authority per Part 119 of the FAA regulations
WhyErecting an antenna structure at or near a public use airport may require notifying the FAA and registering the structure with the FCC under Part 17. §97.15 requires that an amateur station antenna structure erected at or near a public use airport may need to be registered with the FCC and, before that, the FAA may need to be notified under the FAA's own Part 17 requirements for obstructions that could affect air navigation, answer A. There's no EPA Environmental Impact Statement requirement for a typical amateur antenna, and airport zoning authorities don't issue construction permits under an FAA Part 119, that part of the FAA rules covers something else entirely (air carrier operating certificates).
