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 50 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 50 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 50 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.
Jurisdiction has adopted NFPA 418 in fire/building code.

Heliport · 0 ft AGL — This NRA is an intentional duplicate and was only created in order to activate landing facility from 2017 with the latest OEAAA LAP tool. Please refer to prior study case 2017-ASO-799-NRA for comments and determination letter. Note this NRA (2021-ASO-6544) is the NRA linked with the new temp locID 9625 which will be used to coordinate with NFDC for a permanent locID.\r\n\r\nLAP ASN # 2021-ESA-188-LAP (Prior Study Case 2017-ASO-799) Construct/Establish Med-Trans Base Heliport in Panama City FL. The proposed helipad will be constructed at ground level (TLOF: 50ft x 50ft FATO: 77ft x 77ft). No IFR procedures are anticipated.

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.
