Self-reportedData Integrity IndexIndependent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 1148 ft MSL · USGS ground 1094 ft · Δ 54 ft
Differential consistent with an elevated / rooftop pad
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Rooftop pad — the coordinate falls on a building footprint
Building height ≈ 65 ft — measured independently of the FAA record
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 31 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 2016-AWP-1806-NRA2016-09-19Heliport · 0 ft AGL — Project consists of an eleveated helideck approximately 46ft above ground level that supports two distinctly marked TLOF's. It has been designated to accommodate Airbus H145 and Bell 429 Helicopters. See Attached documents for more detailed description about the project
