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 2 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

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.

Heliport · 159 ft AGL — LAP ASN # 2022-WSA-16-LAP. This project consists of an elevated rooftop heliport approximately 150 feet above grade. It has been designed to accommodate Airbus H145 type helicopters. Client asks for the local FSDO inspector to contact them directly prior to reviewing the site regardless if the review is done via virtual tabletop or onsite inspection. 619-694-9449 or via email at katwright@heliplanners.com

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.
This page is the public data-integrity record. The full RiskIndex assessment — Q1–Q5 compliance, dimensional / FATO analysis, an underwriting-grade risk score, peer benchmark, and a sealed Site Intelligence Report — is available on request.
