“…In general, predicting the likelihood of a go-around during flights and preventing diversions are critical for air traffic management. Studies on go-around occurrence and probabilities related to meteorological conditions and other factors in the literature have contributed to determining the risk of diversions and improving air traffic management (35)(36)(37). This study focuses on determining the pre-operation diversion risk caused by low visibility from meteorological conditions and can contribute to airline operation management by preventing some of the diversions.…”

In airline operations management, one can state that because of meteorological conditions, flights may have to land at an appropriate alternate airport instead of the destination. One of these meteorological conditions can be reported as insufficient visibility. In this study, I aimed to develop a model for making the most optimal flight decision by following the decision-making process with respect to risk assessment using historical meteorological data when visibility poses a risk of diverting in forecasts. I formed a standard decision-making process flowchart model for a certain period based on costs by making implementing a flight schedule relating to divert risk caused by low visibility. For this research, the risk assessment was made by analyzing the past meteorological data of the destination airport. Then the decision-making process in airline operation management was implemented in line with the data obtained. Based on the study’s results, a model for airlines’ risk analysis in managing operations with divert risk caused by low visibility has been reported to make more optimum decisions in operation.

Go-arounds are a necessary aspect of commercial aviation and are conducted after a landing attempt has been aborted. It is necessary to conduct go-arounds in the safest possible manner, as go-arounds are the most safety-critical of operations. Recently, the increased availability of data, such as ADS-B, has provided the opportunity to leverage machine learning and data analytics techniques to assess aviation safety events. This paper presents a framework to detect go-around flights, identify relevant features, and utilize unsupervised clustering algorithms to categorize go-around flights, with the objective of gaining insight into aspects of typical, nominal go-arounds and factors that contribute to potentially abnormal or anomalous go-arounds. Approaches into San Francisco International Airport in 2019 were examined. A total of 890 flights that conducted a single go-around were identified by assessing an aircraft’s vertical rate, altitude, and cumulative ground track distance states during approach. For each flight, 61 features relevant to go-around incidents were identified. The HDBSCAN clustering algorithm was leveraged to identify nominal go-arounds, anomalous go-arounds, and a third cluster of flights that conducted a go-around significantly later than other go-around trajectories. Results indicate that the go-arounds detected as being anomalous tended to have higher energy states and deviations from standard procedures when compared to the nominal go-arounds during the first approach, prior to the go-around. Further, an extensive comparison of energy states between nominal flights, anomalous flights, the first approach prior to the go-around, and the second approach following the go-around is presented.
