Get an email when the record for Ferrell Hospital changes: its FAA registration, pad data, nearby FAA airspace determinations, or AirIndex findings. A weekly digest arrives only when something changed.
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: none on record. Our check of the record: Corroborated (details below).
What has the FAA said about its airspace?
1 FAA airspace determination is linked to this site. 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).

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.

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.

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.
