FAA 150 ft MSL · USGS ground 32 ft · Δ 118 ft
Differential consistent with an elevated / rooftop pad
Structure cross-check (Overture / OSM)
Rooftop pad — the coordinate falls on a building footprint
Building height ≈ 78 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 →
The recorded pad is 45 ft short of the 100 ft footprint an eVTOL would need — shown to scale.

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.
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.

Heliport · 140 ft AGL — LAP ASN # 2020-ESA-39-LAP. This LAP was created in order to be able to generate a new NRA Case/Site ID with an associated new Temp ID 8206. Once the landing area is constructed it will be Submitted to NFDC. \r\nNote that this new NRA case will not actually be studied since the original case 2018-AEA-2585-NRA was studied resulting in a favorable Determination.

DATA INTEGRITY
Surface elevation
The FAA record places this pad at 150 ft. USGS terrain plus the building put the actual rooftop at 110 ft — a -40 ft difference the federal record doesn’t carry.
eVTOL footprint
The 55 ft pad is 45 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.
