No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 1366 ft MSL · USGS ground 1367 ft · Δ -1 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 →

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.
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.

- NRAARCH-DeterminedASN 2024-AWP-5528-NRA2024-09-16Form 7480 · 0 ft AGL — LAP ASN # This heliport is active and in operation based on 2018-AWP-3872-NRA and received a DET-to-PROP on April 19 2019. The proponent is wanting to get a LOC ID since the previous NRA did not give the proponent a LOC ID - the proponent does not want an IFR approach and no changes to the existing site are anticipated
