eVTOL readiness

CONDITIONALConversion feasibility · four readings, one line each
Obstruction screen
Clear
No obstructions within 0.5 nm on the FAA obstacle file.
Geometry
Requires 35 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 65 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
Conditional
Obstruction screen passed. Geometry and structural capacity remain open. Site validation required.

The recorded pad is 35 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 · 59 ft AGL — LAP ASN # 2021-WSA-60-LAP\r\n\r\nUPDATES to FAA Form 7480-1\r\n\r\nSection E2:\r\n\r\n• Surface type: It will be an elevated aluminum helideck. Not specifically a MATS type but that is the closest option allowable on the form.\r\n\r\n• Lighting: Will be STANDARD heliport lighting. None of the airport lighting types allowable on the form fit so we clicked on NSTD (non-standard with respect to airport lighting).\r\n\r\n• Ingress or Egress (Degrees): We will have two flightpaths separated by 90 degrees. Each will be available for either ingress or egress depending on current wind conditions. \r\n o Magnetic ingress headings will be 338 (primary approach direction) and 068 (secondary approach direction).\r\n o Magnetic egress headings will be the reciprocals: 248 (primary departure direction) and 158 (secondary departure direction)\r\nUnfortunately the neither the online LAP form nor the 7480-1 allow us to fully explain this but the Heliport Layout Plan that we attached graphically depicts flightpath alignments.\r\n\r\n• Elevation: To clarify the site elevation is 156.5’ AMSL and the rooftop heliport elevation (approximately 58.5’ above grade) is 215’ AMSL.\r\n\r\nSection G1:\r\n\r\n• Name title of person signing this notice: Note my name title phone and email on the attached Form 7480-1. We ask that your aviation planner communicate directly with me as Heliplanners is under contract with the project team to provide all liaison with FAA staff.
