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
Requires 50 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 50 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.
100 ft · eVTOL FATO50 ft
The recorded pad is 50 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

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.

    Heliport · 0 ft AGL — This project consists of an existing unimproved ground level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) landing site. The site is on a turfed area across a private driveway from the emergency department. It does not include permanent markings or perimeter lights. The Airbus Helicopters H145 is the largest aircraft anticipated to use the site. Kathryn Wright with Heliplanners requests contact by the FSDO before the on-site inspection. She can be reached at 951-693-5090. 7480 and associated documents are attached.
