www A federal court has found that the FAA misread its own regulations during its review of aviation hazards presented by a proposed wind farm off Cape Cod in Massachusetts, the Boston Herald reported on Friday. “The FAA catapulted over the real issues and the analytical work required by its handbook,” the court said in its 14-page opinion (PDF). The FAA said last year the Cape Wind project’s 130 440-foot-tall towers, in a 25-square-mile area of Nantucket Sound, would present no hazard to air navigation. Opponents to the plan went to court to say the FAA hadn’t given enough weight to the impact on VFR flights, and the court agreed. Project proponents said the FAA just didn’t do a good enough job of explaining its “no hazard” finding to the court. Court Says FAA Misread Its Own Regs
