Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

This heliport is not closed. It is currently operational under the official FAA identifier CL61. The 'closed' status associated with the identifier US-11155 originates from an error in a non-authoritative, public-contributed aviation database.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable, as the heliport remains active. The incorrect 'closed' status is a data error from a non-official source.

Current Status

The site is an active, private-use rooftop heliport located at the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital (351 S Patterson Ave, Santa Barbara, CA). Its official FAA identifier is CL61. The heliport is used exclusively by medical helicopters for patient transport. It is a 44 x 44 ft concrete helipad. As a private facility, operations are 'Prior Permission Required' (PPR), meaning pilots must contact the hospital for authorization before landing.

Historical Significance

The Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital Heliport (FAA: CL61) is a critical piece of infrastructure for emergency medical services in the Santa Barbara area. Since its establishment, its primary function has been to facilitate the rapid air transport of critically ill and injured patients directly to the hospital. It supports life-saving operations by various air ambulance services and law enforcement aviation units for medical evacuations (medevac). The hospital opened in 1966 and became part of the Cottage Health system in 1996; the heliport is integral to its mission as an acute care facility serving Goleta and the surrounding communities.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed and remains fully operational.
