Data integrity

76/100
CorroboratedData Integrity Index
Independent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 166 ft MSL · USGS ground 87 ft · Δ 79 ft
Differential consistent with an elevated / rooftop pad
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Rooftop pad — the coordinate falls on a building footprint
Building height ≈ 44 ft — measured independently of the FAA record
Cross-source consensus
Corroborated — terrain and structure agree (2/2 sources)

Cross-checked against independent public data — USGS 3DEP terrain, Overture/OSM building footprints, the federal hospital registry, and measured dimensions. The State of the U.S. Heliport Record →

No heliport precedent — typically the binding gate for rooftop and hospital pads.
Obstruction clearance
High obstacle within 0.5 nm — conflicts with the expanded footprint and 8:1 approach

Measured against FAA pad geometry and federal FATO sizing (EB-105). A dimensional pre-screen — site-level validation required, and independent of the underwriting risk score.

Surface elevation
GROUND 87ftROOFTOP 132ftbldg ~44ftFAA FILED 166ft

The FAA record places this pad at 166 ft. USGS terrain plus the building put the actual rooftop at 132 ft — a -34 ft difference the federal record doesn’t carry.

eVTOL footprint
FATO 100 ft reqHTLOF 80 ft

The 80 ft pad is 20 ft short of the 100 ft an eVTOL FATO requires (measured).

Obstructions, exact FATO geometry, surface condition, and downwash exposure require a physical Ground Truth capture — not shown above as measured. A field verification completes the record and writes the measured truth to this facility’s authority.
