eVTOL readiness
INFEASIBLE WITHOUT REMEDIATIONConversion feasibility · four readings, one line each
Obstruction screen
Severe
High obstacle within 0.5 nm conflicts with the expanded footprint and the 8:1 approach surface.
Geometry
Requires 60 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 40 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
Infeasible without remediation
A high obstacle conflicts with the expanded footprint. Remediation or a different site.
The recorded pad is 60 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.
Observed eVTOL activity is arriving around a pad that cannot take it: 23 observed flights in the last 30 days at 2 endpoints within 15 nm (nearest KAFW, 6 nm), while this hospital pad holds an airspace determination and records a 40 ft pad, under the 50 ft eVTOL FATO floor.
Situations are rules-based inferences across the obstruction, observed-operations and record layers, re-evaluated nightly; each carries its evidence and closes when the condition no longer holds.

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.
