Feature
Automatic flight-incident detection
Go-arounds, unstable and missed approaches, rejected take-offs, excursions, and more, flagged automatically across the whole archive, each with a citable page and one-click replay.
Airlines get this kind of visibility from FOQA programs behind closed doors. SkyMeter opens it up: go-arounds, unstable approaches, missed approaches, rejected take-offs, long rollouts, runway excursions, stall-like events, overspeeds, diversions, and off-airport landings are flagged automatically from the telemetry, continuously, across millions of flights worldwide.
Every detection gets its own dated, shareable page and a one-click replay, so an event isn't just a label. It's something you can open, watch in full 3D, and cite.
Why it matters
FOQA-style visibility for everyone
The categories of event airlines monitor internally, surfaced automatically from public data for any flight in the archive.
Every event is citable
Each detection has a dated detail page with its own URL. Link it, share it, or reference it directly.
From flag to full replay in one click
Go straight from a detected event into the 3D replay with instruments to see exactly how it unfolded.
What you get
- Go-around and missed-approach detection
- Unstable-approach flagging against published-style gates
- Rejected take-off and long-rollout detection
- Runway excursion, diversion, and off-airport landing detection
- Stall-like and overspeed event flags
- Dated, citable detail page + one-click replay per event
How it works
Each reconstructed flight is run through a suite of detectors that look for the signatures of these events in the trajectory, energy state, and runway geometry.
Every detector is documented on the event-detection methodology page, including what each flag means and its known limitations, and is explicit about what's observed versus inferred. SkyMeter never claims a fault or a certified-recorder truth.

Journalists
Find and cite a specific go-around or diversion with a dated, linkable page and a replay to embed.
Safety researchers
Study patterns of unstable approaches or excursions at an airport or across a fleet.
Enthusiasts

Frequently asked questions
Does a detected incident mean someone did something wrong?
No. SkyMeter detects observable events in the flight path, like a go-around, and never attributes fault or cause. A go-around, for example, is a normal, safe procedure.
How accurate is the detection?
Detections are made from reconstructed public telemetry and are explicit about what's observed versus inferred. Each event links to its full replay so you can judge it yourself, and the methodology page documents known limitations.
Can I link to a specific incident?
Yes. Every detected event has its own dated, permanent URL built for sharing and citation.
What events are detected?
Go-arounds, unstable and missed approaches, rejected take-offs, long rollouts, runway excursions, stall-like events, overspeeds, diversions, and off-airport landings.
