eVTOL readiness

INFEASIBLE WITHOUT REMEDIATIONConversion feasibility · four readings, one line each

Obstruction screen

Severe

High obstacle within 0.5 nm conflicts with the expanded footprint and the 8:1 approach surface.

Geometry

Requires 60 feet of expansion

Recorded pad side 40 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

Infeasible without remediation

A high obstacle conflicts with the expanded footprint. Remediation or a different site.

The recorded pad is 60 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

 recorded pad eVTOL FATO

Recorded pad (limiting side)

40 ft

eVTOL FATO required

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 · 1 ft AGL — ESTABLISH - Indian River County Sheriff's Office (IRCSO) helipad located in Vero Beach FL. The landing facility will serve the IRCSO's Aviation Unit. The previous NRA case (2015-ASO-1352-NRA) was terminated due to the proponent relocating the area of the helipad approximately 340 feet NW of the original location. The uploaded documents and updated Lat/Long reflect the new proposed helipad location.
