** DETERNIINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure:
Building
Location:
KALISPELL, MT
Latitude:
48-10-31.88 N NAD 83
Longitude:
114-18-3.26 W
Heights:
21 feet above ground level (AGL)
2955 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe
and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.
Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, it is hereby determined that the structure would not be a
hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s) is(are) met:
It is required that the enclosed FAA Form 7460-2, Notice of Actual Construction or Alteration, be completed
and returned to this office any time the project is abandoned or:
At least 10 days prior to start of construction (7460-2, Part I)
X Within 5 days after the construction reaches its greatest height (7460-2, Part H)
See attachment for additional condition(s) or information.
Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. However, if marking
and/or lighting are accomplished on a voluntary basis, we recommend it be installed and maintained in
accordance with FAA Advisory circular 70/7460-1 K Change 2.
This determination expires on 10/30/2008 unless:
(a) extended, revised or terminated by the issuing office.
(b) the construction is subject to the licensing authority of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and an application for a construction permit has been filed, as required by the FCC, within
6 months of the date of this determination. In such case, the determination expires on the date
prescribed by the FCC for completion of construction, or the date the FCC denies the application.

This determination is subject to review if an interested party files a petition that is received by the FAA on or
before May 30, 2007. In the event a petition for review is filed, it must contain a full statement of the basis
upon which it is made and be submitted in triplicate to the Manager, Airspace and Rules Division - Room 423,
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., Washington, D.C. 20591.
This determination becomes final on June 09, 2007 unless a petition is timely filed. In which case, this
determination will not become final pending disposition of the petition. Interested parties will be notified of the
grant of any review. For any questions regarding your petition, please contact Office of Airspace and Rules via
telephone -- 202-267-8783 - or facsimile 202-267-9328.
This determination is based, in part, on the foregoing description which includes specific coordinates, heights,
frequency(ies) and power. Any changes in coordinates, heights, and frequencies or use of greater power will
void this determination. Any future construction or alteration, including increase to heights, power, or the
addition of other transmitters, requires separate notice to the FAA.
This determination does include temporary construction equipment such as cranes, derricks, etc., which may be
used during actual construction of the structure. However, this equipment shall not exceed the overall heights as
indicated above. Equipment which has a height greater than the studied structure requires separate notice to the
FAA.
This determination concerns the effect of this structure on the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace
by aircraft and does not relieve the sponsor of compliance responsibilities relating to any law, ordinance, or
regulation of any Federal, State, or local government body.
This aeronautical study considered and analyzed the impact on existing and proposed arrival, departure, and
en route procedures for aircraft operating under both visual flight rules and instrument flight rules; the impact
on all existing and planned public -use airports, military airports and aeronautical facilities; and the cumulative
impact resulting from the studied structure when combined with the impact of other existing or proposed
structures. The study disclosed that the described structure would have no substantial adverse effect on air
navigation.
An account of the study findings, aeronautical objections received by the FAA during the study (if any), and the
basis for the FAA's decision in this matter can be found on the following page(s).
A copy of this determination will be forwarded to the Federal Communications Commission if the structure is
subject to their licensing authority.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact Robert van Haastert, at (907)271-5863. On any future
correspondence concerning this matter, please refer to Aeronautical Study Number 2007-ANM-529-OE.

Part 77 - 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace
1. LOCATION OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed 21 AGL (2955 MSL) building would be located 272 feet abeam Kalispell City airport (S27) and
1,057 feet north of the S27 RWY 31 threshold. The proposed building would be located approximately 200
feet southeast of the airport parking apron, just off airport property. The S27 RWY 31 threshold elevation is
2930 MSL.
The structure is identified as a Part 77 obstruction as follows, Section 77.25(e) -- The transitional surface area
designated to prevent tall structures from being located at the edge of the primary and approach surfaces of an
airport established under 77.23, 77.25, or 77.29. This building would exceed S27 RWY 31 transition area by
five (5) feet.
3. EFFECT ON AERONAUTICAL OPERATIONS
a. The impact on arrival, departure, and en route procedures for aircraft operating under VFR follows: Exceeds
the transitional surface at Kalispell City RWY 31 threshold by five (5) feet. Kalispell City airport runway is
asphalt, 60 feet wide by 3601 feet long.
b. The impact on arrival, departure, and en route procedures for aircraft operating under IFR follows: none.
There are no IFR instrument approaches at this airport.
c. The impact on all -existing public -use airports and aeronautical facilities follows: None.
d. The impact on all planned public -use airports and aeronautical facilities follow: None.
e. The cumulative impact resulting from the proposed construction or alteration of a structure when combined
with the impact of other existing or proposed structures follows: None.
4. CIRCULATION AND COMMENTS RECEIVED
The proposal was circulated for public comment on March 21, 2007 and no objections to the proposal were
received.
5. DETERMINATION - NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION
It is determined that the proposed construction would not have a substantial adverse effect on the safe and
efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft.
6. BASIS FOR DECISION
Page 4 of 6
The proposed building would exceed the Part 77 transitional surface by 5 feet, however, there are no IFR
effects and no additional VFR issues were raised. The Kalispell Airport manager stated the proposed building
complies with Kalispell's local Airport Affected Area (AAA) regulations.
Within five days after the building reach its greatest height, proponent is required to file a FAA form 7460-2,
Actual Construction notification, at the OE/AAA website (http://oeaaa.faa.gov). This Actual Construction
notification will be the source document detailing the site location, site elevation, and structure height for the
National Aeronautical Charting Office (NACO) to map the tower on aeronautical charts and update the national
obstruction database.
