No data
No FAA obstacle data on file for this state. Clearance unverified.
Geometry
Requires 55 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 45 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
Unverified
No obstruction data on file. The dimensional gap applies; clearance is unverified.

The recorded pad is 55 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

FAA EB-105 vertiport pattern — 2× a ~50 ft eVTOL controlling dimension, plus a 125 ft safety-area side.
Load-bearing FATO
100 × 100 ft must be structural
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.

    Form 7480 · 1 ft AGL — The town Fire Department has proposed that they construct a hard surface for the air ambulance helicopters to land on at the 22ME site. The 5010 reference point is almost center field and all patient transfers have taken place in the north east corner of the field to prevent the ambulance from rutting up the field.\r\nThe landing surface would be called and marked as a shuffle board court to prevent any legal incongruity for primary land use. \r\nThe land the ball field is on has deed restrictions that are extremely specific about use land use thus very restrictive. The only allowed purpose for the land is public recreation so NOTHING can be done that is not public recreation based.
