I was Chief Engineer at a radio station many years ago. Whenever our
transmitter tower lights went OTS, I called the nearest Flight
Service Station and explained the situation. A NOTAM was issued.


I work for a large telco, and we have towers that require FAA
notification for lighting outages. The lower ones that require
reports are close to airports. AFAIK, we get fined for not fixing
them fast enough, too.

The towers that require lights have lighting failure alarm telemetry.
