Tower maximum height restriction

[mxl01gt]

Any one know where to find information for the limitations on tower heights near an airport?

location is approximately 3.5 nautical miles from the airport, but it's in the instrument approach area and i am unable to find if there are limitations for towers constructed in the concerned area.

General rule is 10 ft above terrain for each mile from center of runway. I don't remember where I got the info, but I had to look it up for a CATV tower years ago

It's in the wiki...FCC and FAA Tower Marking and Lighting Requirements - The RadioReference Wiki

TOWAIR Determination

That is exactly the place to start FCC Antenna Site Registration ASR. And use the TOWAIR utility and the coordinates of the proposed tower.

You should check your Canada DOC and Transport Canada. I doubt the US FCC Tow air calculator will work in Canada. I am sure the laws of physics and air transport are the same but you really need to research locally.
