Newark Academy Heliport

The specific reason is not publicly documented. The identifier 'US-11486' is a non-official code used by some third-party databases for facilities without an FAA location ID. The heliport was likely a private, prior-permission landing zone that was never formally registered or was de-registered. Closure of such facilities is typically due to disuse, liability concerns, or changes in institutional policy.

The site at the coordinates 40.777301, -74.358498 is currently part of the Newark Academy campus in Livingston, New Jersey. The specific area is used as the school's athletic fields, including the varsity baseball field and surrounding open grass areas.

The heliport had no major public or historical significance. It was a private facility located on the campus of Newark Academy, a preparatory school. Any operations would have been extremely limited and private in nature, likely consisting of occasional flights for school trustees, major donors, or special guests. It was not used for commercial, cargo, or military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The site is an integral part of the school's active athletic facilities, and there is no public indication of any intent to re-establish aviation operations.
