A numerical index of current airspace conditions — informational, not operational advice. It does not replace NOTAMs, AIPs, SIGMETs, or briefings from aviation authorities.
What the number means
The index aggregates the scores of the monitored FIRs a route crosses — regulator advisories (EASA CZIB, FAA SFAR), NOTAM activity, GNSS interference, conflict-event and operational signals. Four bands:
Baseline conditions across the FIRs on the route — no elevated regulatory or operational signals in the current data.
Something on the route is worth reading up on: an active advisory, GNSS interference reports, or elevated conflict-event signals in one of the crossed FIRs.
One or more crossed FIRs carry strong signals — active regulator publications, sustained interference, or recent closure activity nearby.
The route crosses airspace with severe current signals. Operators typically route around FIRs in this band.
Every score carries a confidence value and a coverage tier — thin data shows itself instead of hiding. Full detail in the methodology.
Going deeper on a route
This check is free and stays free — one route at a time, right now, no history. The same engine — 341 FIRs scored daily from public regulatory & operational data — ships as two products:
Route risk check — FAQ
Common search queries answered with current status, FIR codes, and source citations.
- Is my flight route safe?
- This tool can’t answer "safe" — nobody honestly can from public data alone. It computes a numerical index of current airspace conditions along the route: regulator advisories, GNSS interference, conflict-event and operational signals across the FIRs the route crosses. Read the number as "how much is going on in this airspace right now", then consult official sources for anything elevated.
- Which routes are covered?
- 341 Flight Information Regions are scored daily across four coverage tiers. If a route doesn’t cross monitored airspace, the tool says "not monitored" rather than guessing — an honest null, never a fake zero.
- How fresh is the score?
- Scores recompute every 5–30 minutes from public regulatory and operational data — EASA, FAA, ICAO, ADS-B telemetry, conflict-event databases — per the published methodology.
- Can I save a check or monitor a route over time?
- That’s the Console — the same engine as a signed-in workspace: dated, referenced records of every check with your decision and rationale, exports, and watchlists that email you on a risk-level change. From $99/month with a 14-day free trial.
- Can my software call this?
- Yes — the same engine ships as a REST API:
GET /v2/route/riskreturns the score, level, confidence and coverage as JSON in ~50ms, no PII. The sandbox key is free (2,000 requests/day). - Does this replace NOTAMs or a briefing?
- No. It’s an orientation layer: it tells you where to look first. NOTAMs, AIPs, SIGMETs, trip-support briefs and communications from aviation authorities remain the authoritative operational sources.
FlySafe provides automated computation of numerical indices from publicly available data. Indices are raw computational output and do not represent opinions, assessments, recommendations, or advice of any kind. They do not replace official NOTAMs, SIGMETs, AIPs, or communications from aviation authorities. See Terms of Service.
