Planes don't really fly right over downtown Miami or Brickell district. The flight paths usually take planes either north of the CBD or south of the Brickell Financial district with the tallest building on the southern end of Brickell Avenue being the Four Seasons tower @ 789 ft. | 240 m.
I really don't understand how the FAA thinks an extra 30 feet higher from 1,010 ft. to 1,040 feet is a safety hazard for airplanes!
MIA sits about 5 miles northwest of the CBD/Brickell area so if something goes wrong what difference does it make if a building is over 1,000 feet tall or 100 feet tall?
