Data integrity

Independent inspection
Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 5559 ft MSL · USGS ground 5447 ft · Δ 112 ft
Differential consistent with an elevated / rooftop pad
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
On a building footprint — height not tagged in the source
Building height ≈ 112 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 →

No heliport precedent — typically the binding gate for rooftop and hospital pads.
Obstruction clearance
Clear — no obstructions within 0.5 nm on the FAA obstacle file

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 · 103 ft AGL — LAP ASN # 2024-WSA-109-LAP- Proponent requests a new elevation on existing landing pad (CO98) on a hospital. The current elevation on the 5010/in ADIP is incorrect. Previous study was 2022-ANM-3460-NRA and had an elevation of 5456 feet but this is ground level not the elevation of the building with the helipad on it which is 5559 feet. The proponent anticipates IFR procedures in 2026.
