Ash Personal Heliport

The heliport was a private facility exclusively associated with a single residence. It was officially decommissioned by the FAA following the sale of the property in 2012. The new property owners did not pursue the re-registration required to keep the heliport active, leading to its permanent closure.

The site is a private, single-family waterfront residential property. The area once designated as the landing pad, likely a reinforced section of a deck or a specific patch of lawn, is now fully integrated into the home's recreational and landscaped space. There are no remaining markings, lighting, or infrastructure to indicate its past use as a heliport.

Ash Personal Heliport, officially identified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as 3NJ5, was a private-use heliport. The identifier 'US-11039' is a non-official code from a third-party aviation database. Its sole purpose was to serve the personal transportation needs of the owner of the waterfront residence at which it was located. Operations consisted of private helicopter flights, likely for convenient travel to and from nearby metropolitan areas such as New York City and Philadelphia. The heliport held no public, commercial, or military significance and functioned purely as a private amenity for the homeowner.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Re-establishing a private heliport at a residential location is a complex process that would require the current or a future owner to apply for new permits from the FAA and the New Jersey Department of Transportation. This process would be subject to modern zoning regulations, environmental reviews, and potential objections from neighbors. Given these regulatory hurdles and the lack of any indication of interest, the likelihood of the heliport reopening is extremely low.
