It's even worse than that, from the neighbor's point of view. The
neighbor can't build a structure or allow a tree to grow to a height
that obstructs the takeoff.

As far as I can tell from the "Applicability" sections of the FARs, they only
apply to public use airports. Local laws might cover such a case, of course.

I would not care to be the defense lawyer if his neighbor crashes due to the
tower and it comes out that the only reason he built it was to interfere with
airplanes.

There are no federal protections afforded to private airstrips.
Ten to fifteen years ago, outside Marysville OH, Honda knowingly built
a private communications tower off the end of a private strip new their
assembly plant. There was no recourse for the airstip owner.

That doesn't change the fact that juries tend to dislike SOBs. The tower owner
would almost certainly lose his shirt in the civil suit over such a case, IMO.

Bi John,

Isn't that "Farang", not "farlang"?

"Farlang" is Thai for 'white'.

George

Idaho??

He uses the name "Farlang" which is used in Thailand to describe a
white foreigner.

His e-mail address uses the abbreviation "Thai" for Thailand.

Go to Google and look up "Farlang" and you will find it is commonly
used among the bar girls who entertain the men who fly in from all
over the world to get laid. Big business in Bangkok.

Maybe he is one who goes there and is using the name and address in
remembrance or is just a Troll????

Well, I found a reference that translates it as "plea". The language is Yiddish.

Not quite true.
Nothing to stop him from erecting a 500 foot tower on his property in
line with the runway.

Which doesn't affect what I said one iota.

Also the premise is true. You can't erect a tower with impunity either.
In addition to the local land use issues, towers that tall would require
FAA notification before they are constructed.

Only if it to be 250 or more feet AGL.

A 500 foot tower would be more than 250 feet AGL, unless you dug a big hole to put
it in.

Hey, there's an idea! Sounds like an ideal place for the next rec.aviation
flyin! I'm not sure I can shoehorn my Maule into 2,600', though. Sounds a
bit tight. :-)

He certainly CAN build a runway only on his property and still
operate an aircraft from it.

This depends on state and local regulations.

Please review the difference between the words "can" and "may". I was only
commenting on the claim that it would not be possible to build a runway from
which an airplane could be operated (clearly false).
