Get an email when the record for Abacus Tower changes: its FAA registration, pad data, nearby FAA airspace determinations, or AirIndex findings. A weekly digest arrives only when something changed.
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: 2008/11/25. Our check of the record: Self-reported (details below).
What has the FAA said about its airspace?
No FAA airspace determination is linked to this site in the records we hold.
What is being built nearby?
1 FAA obstruction filing within 1 nm in the last 12 months, the tallest 38 ft above ground. Builders file these before putting up cranes and structures that could affect flight paths.
Pole Lighting, 38 ft, 0.67 nm away, filed 2026-08-27 (2026-AWP-15751-OE)
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).

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
Requires 70 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 30 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.
The recorded pad is 70 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

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.

DATA INTEGRITY
Surface elevation
The FAA record places this pad at 1850 ft. USGS terrain plus the building put the actual rooftop at 1308 ft — a -542 ft difference the federal record doesn’t carry.
eVTOL footprint
The 30 ft pad is 70 ft short of the 100 ft an eVTOL FATO requires (measured).

3Physically verifiedGround Truth capture
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.
