Question 1

What is an aviation flight risk profile?

Accepted Answer

A flight risk profile summarizes the security and safety factors that bear on operating to or over a country — conflict-zone overflight risk, airspace closures and NOTAMs, GPS jamming and spoofing, civil unrest and natural hazards — drawn from official aviation, government and conflict sources.

Question 2

Where does AeroVigil's country risk data come from?

Accepted Answer

AeroVigil aggregates official and authoritative sources, including aviation regulators (EASA, FAA, UK CAA), state travel advisories (US State Department, UK FCDO and others), and conflict and hazard feeds. Each item is classified by severity, category and aviation relevance, then mapped to the countries and regions it affects.

Question 3

Is this a substitute for an operational risk assessment?

Accepted Answer

No. These pages are an automated, continuously updated snapshot for situational awareness. Operational decisions — overflight, dispatch and routing — should rely on current NOTAMs, state advisories and a qualified flight-operations and security assessment.
