Corroborated — terrain and structure agree (2/2 sources)

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.

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.
