No data
No FAA obstacle data on file for this state. Clearance unverified.
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
Unverified
No obstruction data on file. The dimensional gap applies; clearance is unverified.
The recorded pad is 60 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.
NFPA 418 adoption status not yet assessed for this jurisdiction.

Heliport · 1 ft AGL — Relocation of existing Heliport for private use. Sierra Vista Hospital Heliport Truth or Consequences NM Sierra County. The helipad has been moved ~200 Yards southwest of its current location. The move was to faclitate the beginning of construction of a new Emergency Room. Ground level turf helipad is 142' wide 113'depth-left side 79' depth-right side front 70' wide with angle if 78.2. Helipad is not lighted. No IFR procedures anticipated.

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.
