Data integrity

50/100
Self-reportedData Integrity Index
Independent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
⚠ Location-suspect — recorded coordinates may be mislocated
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 670 ft MSL · USGS ground 203 ft · Δ 467 ft
Differential consistent with an elevated / rooftop pad
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Ground-level — no building footprint at the coordinate
Cross-source consensus
⚠ Sources conflict — FAA elevation sits above terrain, but no building is at the coordinate
Either a freestanding / tower pad or a mislocated coordinate — independent verification recommended.

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 64 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.

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.
