Data integrity

Independent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 36 ft MSL · USGS ground 36 ft · Δ 0 ft
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Ground-level — no building footprint at the coordinate
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 →

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

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.
