FAQ

What does it mean if a tower is in FAA but not FCC? expand_more

It means the structure was evaluated by the FAA for airspace safety (e.g. because of its height or proximity to an airport) but has no corresponding registration in the FCC Antenna Structure Registration database. This is common for broadcast towers under blanket exemptions, non-communications structures, or towers built before mandatory FCC registration.

How often is FAA data updated? expand_more

The FAA publishes new aeronautical studies on a continuous basis. Our database is refreshed regularly to incorporate the latest determinations and newly filed studies. Some lag may exist between an FAA filing and its appearance here.

How accurate are the coordinates? expand_more

Coordinates come directly from the FAA Obstruction Evaluation filings. They represent the location submitted by the structure owner as part of the aeronautical study and are generally accurate to within a few meters, though precision may vary for older filings.

What is the difference between FAA and FCC tower data? expand_more

The FAA tracks structures that may affect air navigation — any tower over 200 feet or near an airport requires an aeronautical study. The FCC tracks antenna structures registered for communications use. A tower may appear in one database, the other, or both, depending on its purpose and regulatory requirements.

The FAA maintains an independent registry of antenna structures across the United States. In Alabama, this registry currently lists 10,861 tower records. Unlike the FCC’s Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) database, the FAA dataset is driven by airspace-safety evaluations rather than spectrum licensing, which means it captures structures that may never appear in FCC filings—or may appear under different identifiers.

Cross-referencing the two databases reveals that 3,685 FAA-registered towers in Alabama (33.9% of the state total) have no matching record in the FCC ASR system. These are typically structures that required an FAA aeronautical study—because of their height or proximity to airports—but did not need an FCC registration (for example, broadcast towers owned by entities exempt from ASR, or structures built before mandatory FCC registration took effect).

When interpreting this data, keep in mind that a tower’s presence in one database and absence from the other does not indicate an error. Each agency applies its own criteria: the FAA focuses on obstruction hazards and lighting requirements, while the FCC tracks antenna installations for communications purposes. Together, the two datasets provide the most complete picture of tower infrastructure in Alabama.
