Owner self-reported — never independently field-inspected
Location confidence
No coordinate anomaly detected
Terrain cross-check (USGS 3DEP)
FAA 24.2 ft MSL · USGS ground 24 ft · Δ 0 ft
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Rooftop pad — the coordinate falls on a building footprint
Building height ≈ 32 ft — measured independently of the FAA record
Cross-source consensus
⚠ Sources conflict — pad is on a building, but FAA elevation reads ground level
Stale-low FAA elevation (the 6FD8 class) — never updated for the rooftop pad. Treat the recorded elevation as unreliable.
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 →

Obstruction screen
Clear
No obstructions within 0.5 nm on the FAA obstacle file.
Geometry
Requires 43 feet of expansion
Recorded pad side 57 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 43 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

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.

Airspace clearance
Airspace clearance on file has lapsed — a re-filing may be needed for new/continued operations. Does not by itself reclassify the existing structure as a hazard.
Heliport · 20 ft AGL — Construct/Establish Helipad H2 at Jacksonville Memorial Hospital. The new helipad will be constructed on the rooftop of a proposed building expansion. (TLOF: 57ft x 57ft; FATO: 94.5ft D). The existing ground level helipad (H1) located on the North side of the hospital property is expected to remain operational.

DATA INTEGRITY
Surface elevation
The FAA record places this pad at 24.2 ft. USGS terrain plus the building put the actual rooftop at 55 ft — a +30.8 ft difference the federal record doesn’t carry.
eVTOL footprint
The 57 ft pad is 43 ft short of the 100 ft an eVTOL FATO requires (measured).

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.
