Constructing a new tower or modifying an existing structure often requires FAA review, but did you know that adding an RF frequency to an existing installation, changing frequency or power of an RF installation, or even just minimally correcting tower height or coordinates can also require a review?
The webinar covers when and why you need to notify the FAA, process timing, and the implications that an FAA review can have with FCC matters.
