Data integrity

75/100
CorroboratedData Integrity Index
Independent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 9.1 ft MSL · USGS ground 10 ft · Δ -1 ft
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Rooftop pad — the coordinate falls on a building footprint
Building height ≈ 23 ft — measured independently of the FAA record
Cross-source consensus
⚠ Sources conflict — pad is on a building, but FAA elevation reads ground level
Stale-low FAA elevation (the 6FD8 class) — never updated for the rooftop pad. Treat the recorded elevation as unreliable.

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 →

No heliport precedent — typically the binding gate for rooftop and hospital pads.
Obstruction clearance
Clear — no obstructions within 0.5 nm on the FAA obstacle file

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.

DATA INTEGRITY
Surface elevation
GROUND 10ftROOFTOP 33ftbldg ~23ftFAA FILED 9.1ft

The FAA record places this pad at 9.1 ft. USGS terrain plus the building put the actual rooftop at 33 ft — a +23.9 ft difference the federal record doesn’t carry.

eVTOL footprint
FATO 100 ft reqHTLOF 69 ft

The 69 ft pad is 31 ft short of the 100 ft an eVTOL FATO requires (measured).

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.
