RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES
ED‐2A: Ensure compliance with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77. Primary Parties:

generation facilities, electric companies should continue to ensure compliance with
FAR Part 77 height limit requirements in order to mitigate potential vertical
obstructions.

ED‐2B: Notify AZARNG of proposed energy transmission line projects. Primary Parties:
Salt River Project and Arizona Public Service should develop a Memorandum of
Agreement with the AZARNG to notify the military of any proposed energy
transmission line projects located within an area that may impact AZARNG helicopter
flight operations. As part of this, AZARNG should provide a map to the electric
companies identifying the areas and altitudes where helicopters operate. The
notification should allow a response time for the AZARNG to provide comments on
concerns or potential impacts.
