For hospital and EMS teams

No hospital is linked to this landing site in our records. If it serves a hospital, tell us.

Is the FAA record right?

FAA status: Open. Last FAA inspection: none on record (common for private-use pads, which the FAA does not routinely inspect). Last update from the owner: 2020/02/28. Our check of the record: Corroborated (details below).

What has the FAA said about its airspace?

72 FAA airspace determinations are linked to this site; the airspace finding on file is on_file. The list is below.

What is being built nearby?

1 FAA obstruction filing within 1 nm in the last 12 months, the tallest 58 ft above ground. Builders file these before putting up cranes and structures that could affect flight paths.

Building Commercial, 58 ft, 0.70 nm away, filed 2026-08-20 (2026-AWP-15402-OE)

Where else can aircraft land nearby?

Boeing, Mesa, 0.5 nm
Banner Baywood Medical Center, Mesa, 3.8 nm (hospital pad)
Banner Gateway Medical Center, Gilbert, 4.8 nm (hospital pad)

Keeping the FAA record right

See your official record in the FAA's Airport Data and Information Portal (ADIP).
To correct it, the facility manager signs in to ADIP and uses Airport Master Record, Update Facility Data (Airport/Heliport). The paper private-use form 5010-2 was retired in July 2024.
Building, changing, reopening or closing a landing site needs notice to the FAA on Form 7480-1 (14 CFR Part 157).

AirIndex compiles public FAA, federal and hospital records and checks them against each other. It is not a source for navigation or flight planning; use official FAA sources and your operator's procedures. See something wrong? Report a correction (how corrections work).

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

Meets the FATO footprint

Recorded pad side 200 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.

This pad already covers the eVTOL landing footprint as it stands.

Recorded pad (limiting side)

eVTOL FATO required

100 ft

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.
