The Landers Safety Score is a composite 0–100 metric that quantifies the current risk level associated with a specific landing operation at a specific time and location. A score of 100 represents ideal conditions; a score below 50 triggers a prominent warning in the operator interface.
What is the Safety Score?
Unlike simple weather advisories, the Safety Score is holistic — it factors weather, traffic congestion, infrastructure status, regulatory compliance, and historical incident data for the specific landing point.
Score Factors
Weather Component (40% weight)
- Wind speed and gusts relative to vehicle capability
- Visibility vs. applicable minimums
- Precipitation type and intensity
- Turbulence forecast (aviation) / Sea state (maritime)
- Freezing level and icing risk
Traffic Component (30% weight)
- Landing facility congestion (current + forecast)
- Approach sequencing delays
- Ground movement complexity
- Peak demand periods
Infrastructure Component (30% weight)
- Facility operational status (NOTAM/NAVAID outages)
- ILS / precision approach availability
- Emergency service coverage
- Surface condition reports (SNOWTAM / PIREP)
Reading & Acting on Scores
- 90–100 → Excellent conditions. Proceed normally.
- 75–89 → Good. Minor advisories may apply. Review details.
- 50–74 → Caution. Elevated risk. Enhanced briefing recommended.
- 25–49 → High risk. Consider delay or alternate. Consult ATC/port authority.
- 0–24 → Extreme risk. Operation strongly discouraged. Await improvement.
Warning
The Safety Score is a decision-support tool and does not replace professional judgement, regulatory compliance, or communication with air traffic control and port authorities.
Configuring Thresholds
Enterprise operators can configure custom alert thresholds per vehicle type and route. Set minimum acceptable scores that automatically trigger SMS/email/webhook alerts when conditions deteriorate.
