Get an email when the record for Mesa Police changes: its FAA registration, pad data, nearby FAA airspace determinations, or AirIndex findings. A weekly digest arrives only when something changed.
No hospital is linked to this landing site in our records. If it serves a hospital, tell us.
Is the FAA record right?
FAA status: Open. Last FAA inspection: none on record (common for private-use pads, which the FAA does not routinely inspect). Last update from the owner: 2023/07/25. Our check of the record: Self-reported (details below).
What has the FAA said about its airspace?
1 FAA airspace determination is linked to this site; the airspace finding on file is on_file. The list is below.
What is being built nearby?
No FAA obstruction filings (cranes, buildings, towers) within 1 nm in the last 12 months.
To correct it, the facility manager signs in to ADIP and uses Airport Master Record, Update Facility Data (Airport/Heliport). The paper private-use form 5010-2 was retired in July 2024.
Building, changing, reopening or closing a landing site needs notice to the FAA on Form 7480-1 (14 CFR Part 157).
AirIndex compiles public FAA, federal and hospital records and checks them against each other. It is not a source for navigation or flight planning; use official FAA sources and your operator's procedures. See something wrong? Report a correction (how corrections work).

Cross-source consensus
⚠ Sources conflict — pad is on a building, but FAA elevation reads ground level
Stale-low FAA elevation (the 6FD8 class) — never updated for the rooftop pad. Treat the recorded elevation as unreliable.

Recorded pad side 42 ft against a 100 ft eVTOL FATO.
Structural FATO
Unverified
The full 100 × 100 ft FATO must be load-bearing. The FAA does not record structural capacity, so no record can confirm it.
Overall
Conditional
Obstruction screen passed. Geometry and structural capacity remain open. Site validation required.
The recorded pad is 58 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

No heliport precedent — typically the binding gate for rooftop and hospital pads.
Measured against FAA pad geometry and federal FATO sizing (EB-105). The obstruction screen is the only reading the engine verdict rests on; geometry and structural capacity are stated separately and never folded into it. A dimensional pre-screen — site-level validation required, and independent of the underwriting risk score.
IBC references NFPA 418 for rooftop facilities. Standalone fire code reference not confirmed.

Surface elevation
The FAA record places this pad at 1254 ft. USGS terrain plus the building put the actual rooftop at 1273 ft — a +19 ft difference the federal record doesn’t carry.
eVTOL footprint
The 42 ft pad is 58 ft short of the 100 ft an eVTOL FATO requires (measured).

3Physically verifiedGround Truth capture
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.
This page is the public data-integrity record. The full RiskIndex assessment — Q1–Q5 compliance, dimensional / FATO analysis, an underwriting-grade risk score, peer benchmark, and a sealed Site Intelligence Report — is available on request.
