FAA Tower 2010-ASO-6898-OE
No FCC record found
This structure appears in FAA data for airspace safety review, but no matching record was found in the FCC Antenna Structure Registration database.
In many cases, this is normal because not every structure is required to appear in FCC records. It can also reflect differences or gaps between FAA and FCC datasets.

About This Tower
FAA Tower 2010-ASO-6898-OE is a tower located in Shellman Bluff, Georgia. The structure stands at 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL). This record originates from the FAA Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) system, which tracks structures that may affect navigable airspace in the United States.
FCC Database Status
This tower does not have a matching record in the FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) database. The FAA and FCC maintain separate registries with different criteria: the FAA tracks structures that may affect airspace safety, while the FCC registers antenna installations used for communications services.
A structure can require an FAA aeronautical study without needing FCC registration. Common reasons include broadcast towers operating under blanket exemptions, non-communications structures such as cranes, buildings, or utility poles, and towers that predate mandatory FCC registration. This does not indicate an error—it simply reflects the different scope of each federal database.
Why This Matters
Structures that appear in FAA data but not in FCC records represent infrastructure that is often difficult to discover through FCC-only databases. For professionals involved in network planning, real estate due diligence, environmental review, or aviation safety, these FAA-only records provide visibility into structures that might otherwise go unnoticed.
By cross-referencing FAA and FCC datasets, users can build a more complete picture of the tower and antenna landscape in any given area. This page helps you understand what this structure is, where it is located, and how it relates to other nearby infrastructure.

FAQ
What does "No FCC record found" mean for this tower?
It means this structure was evaluated by the FAA for airspace safety but has no corresponding entry in the FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) database. This is common for non-communications structures, broadcast towers under blanket exemptions, or structures predating mandatory FCC registration. It does not indicate an error.
Why is FAA tower data useful if there is no FCC record?
FAA data surfaces infrastructure that may not appear in FCC-only databases. This helps professionals in network planning, real estate research, environmental review, and aviation safety discover structures that would otherwise go unnoticed.
How accurate are the coordinates for this tower?
Coordinates come directly from the FAA Obstruction Evaluation filing submitted by the structure owner. Modern filings typically use GPS and are accurate to within a few meters. Older filings may have lower precision.
What is the difference between AGL and AMSL height?
AGL (Above Ground Level) measures the height from the structure base to its top. AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) measures the top elevation relative to sea level. AMSL equals the site elevation plus the AGL height.
Where does this data come from?
Tower data is sourced from the FAA Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) system. FCC status is determined by cross-referencing with the FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) database.
