This heliport is not closed. The 'closed' status associated with the non-official identifier US-10449 appears to be an error in third-party aviation databases. The official heliport at this location remains fully operational.
Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed. It continues to serve its original purpose. The official and active facility is Reston Hospital Center Heliport (FAA LID: 2VA9).
The site is an active, private-use heliport located on the roof of the Reston Hospital Center. It is used exclusively for medical helicopters, such as those from regional air ambulance providers (e.g., PHI Air Care). Its operations are vital for the hospital's role as a regional trauma and stroke center.
The heliport has been operational for decades, serving as a critical component of Reston Hospital Center's emergency services since the hospital's expansion to a Level II Trauma Center. Its sole function has always been to support medical operations. It handles helicopter air ambulance services for patient transport and medical evacuation (medevac), allowing for the rapid arrival of critically ill or injured patients from accident scenes or transfers from other medical facilities. The coordinates place it in Reston, Virginia, not Herndon.
Not applicable, as the heliport is currently active and was never officially closed.
