For the infrastructure Pros out there…the 1000’ AGL tower near one of the fields I fly into rarely has all or even most of it lights working, as I write this I can’t remember seeing lights on at all this summer, though it has been dutifully notam’d. Reaching out to airfield manager who reached out to state aviation, only concern seems to be whether it is notam’d or not, with the advice that if I drive to the base of the tower I could look up ownership info on a placard there.
As towers propagate in our wireless world and with those above the lighting threshold elevation being approved contingent on lighting…is there a similar performance threshold for maintaining the lighting…or is satisfying the notam requirement where compliance ends?
