Service Availability

The service availability and its use cases.

The service availability analysis allows for the percentage calculation of how often good, moderate, and poor flight conditions occur. Specifically, it evaluates the proportion during which nominal, moderate, or severe weather conditions are present, based on selected parameter limits.

Service availability is given when the analysis limits are met (nominal, if applicable, moderate values) and flight conditions allow operations. The analysis can be conducted simultaneously for multiple locations and at arbitrary times of the day.

When creating a service availability analysis, a distinction is made between high level (evaluation of a specific time of day) and detailed (comprehensive evaluation of all times of day at once). In both analysis types, visual assessments of operational conditions per month and a corresponding summary of conditions per year are created. Additionally, the reasons for moderate and severe conditions are displayed. You also have the option to view a sample analysis for a quick overview.

Benefits

• Know what is the expected up/down time of my service per year/month

• What are the parameters causing the downtime per year

• Build up profound knowledge as a baseline for comparison

• What is the expected up/down time of my service per year/month/time of day

• What are the parameters causing the downtime per year/month/time of day

High level

The high-level analysis is used to evaluate service availability at a specific time of day (day, night, day & night, or custom).

Operational Conditions

Operational Conditions (yearly, operational conditions per month), reasons for severe conditions (per year), reasons for moderate conditions (per year)

Creation

Analysis at multiple locations simultaneously.

Analysis of individual time frames and day times.

Use cases

Use cases

• Useful for a quick and broad monthly and annual assessment (faster than a detailed analysis)

• For drone operations over extended periods – enables the highest possible availibility for deployment

• As an addition to NOVA, which evaluates the period outside the one-week evaluation range

Detailed

The detailed analysis is used to evaluate service availability for day, night, and day & night simultaneously and provides hourly evaluations.
