AirIndex Launches The Landing Record: an Interactive Census of Every U.S. Landing Site

All 5,647 FAA-registered U.S. heliports on one map — each scored for eVTOL readiness, data integrity, and risk. Free to explore.

Landing Record Pro adds facility dossiers, underwriter-grade risk reports, portfolio monitoring with weekly change alerts, area screening, and the API.

South Carolina, USA — AirIndex (Vertical Data Group) today launched The Landing Record — an interactive census of United States landing infrastructure. Every one of the 5,647 FAA-registered heliports in the country is on the map, and every one carries three independently derived signals: whether an eVTOL aircraft could land there today, how much the underlying federal record can be trusted, and how risky the site is. The map is free to explore at airindex.io/landing-record, with no signup.

What the census shows

The Landing Record is the live, interactive form of AirIndex's research into the federal landing-site record. The headline findings are visible on the map itself: roughly nine in ten of the pads AirIndex could measure are too small for the landing footprint an eVTOL requires. 98.5 percent of registered heliports have never had an independent field inspection — the owner supplied the record. Nearly one in five carries a location-confidence flag, meaning the recorded coordinates may not be where the pad physically is. Each claim traces to the public datasets it was derived from, and every facility on the map links to its full record.

“The conversation in advanced air mobility is about aircraft and routes. The ground gets left out. The Landing Record puts the entire U.S. landing-site picture on one map — not as a directory, but as a graded record: what can take an eVTOL today, what the federal file gets wrong, and what changed last week. It's the intelligence behind our reports, opened up as a tool.”

A record that watches itself

Underneath the map is an append-only change log: when AirIndex's verification pipeline corrects a coordinate, fills a missing dimension, cross-checks a structure against terrain data, or moves a facility's risk tier, the change is recorded permanently with its source and date. Landing Record Pro subscribers can save a portfolio of facilities — an underwriter's book, a hospital system's fleet, an operator's network — and receive a weekly digest when anything in it materially changes. Nothing in the record is ever silently rewritten.

Free and Pro

The free preview is the complete national map with a live count — every operational pad, clustered and explorable. Landing Record Pro turns the map into a working instrument: color every pad by eVTOL readiness, data integrity, or risk; filter and search; open the full dossier on any facility and generate its Facility Risk Profile as a PDF; screen any point and radius for what can land in range; monitor a portfolio with weekly alerts; and export to CSV, GeoJSON, or the AirIndex API. Pro access is scoped per organization — inquiries at airindex.io/landing-record.
