The FAA's remarks as written in the airport file, spelled out
- We have determined that the proposed private use landing area, will not adversely affect the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace by aircraft, provided: * all operations are conducted in VFR weather conditions. * the landing area is limited to private use. * the takeoff/landing area is appropriately marked. * a NON-OBSTRUCTING wind indicator is maintained adjacent to the takeoff/landing area. *VFR approaches should be 090 and 360 degrees. VFR departures should be 270 and 180 degrees. The heliport proponent will reexamine obstacles in the vicinity of the approach/departure paths on an annual basis. In accordance with AC 150-5390-2, any new obstacles noted will be forward to the southwest airport district office or the southwest flight standards district office, nextgen branch. Only one helicopter shall occupy the helipad at a time. A representative of southwest region flight standards division shall evaluate the heliport for compliance prior to operational use.
