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.

Form 7480 · 0 ft AGL — LAP ASN # 2023-WSA-134-LAP This is a temporary heliport to be used by the hospital when its existing rooftop heliport (CN17) goes down for maintenance for its single elevator. This would be the backup heliport until the completion of the new hospital tower and associated heliport which is expected to be completed later this decade. Please note that Rady Children’s is the only Pediatric Trauma hospital in San Diego County.

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.
