FAA record × aerial reality

Where the heliport map and the ground disagree.

Most U.S. heliports are entered into the FAA record by their owner and never independently inspected. This is an automated first pass that pulls current aerial imagery for each recorded heliport and flags the ones a human should look at - inspired by the AirIndex finding of a long-standing FAA heliport plotted tens of nautical miles from its true location.

This is a prioritized review queue, not a list of findings.

A flag means a pad could not be confirmed from current imagery - never that a heliport is missing, fake, or mislocated. Aerial imagery can predate construction, trees and shadows hide pads, and rooftop hospital pads are easy to miss. Every flag is a place for a person to look, nothing more.
