ELIP · Emergency-Landing Coverage

Where eVTOL can land in an emergency, and where it can't.

When an aircraft has trouble mid-route, the question is simple: can it reach a safe place to land? ELIP scores emergency-landing coverage across U.S. corridors and metro areas. It finds the landing deserts, the stretches where nothing safe is in reach.

Coverage isn't a given

Some routes are well covered. Some aren't. JFK to Manhattan is only 53% covered, with a 3.17 nm stretch over water where there is nowhere to land. That is a real physical gap, and the engine finds it. Every point on a route or in an area is classified by how quickly it can reach a viable site, if at all:

Land Immediately
a site is right there
Land ASAP
a short diversion away
Land As Practical
an extended diversion away
Landing Desert
nowhere safe in reach

What ELIP does

Corridor coverage

Every tracked eVTOL corridor scored end to end: the coverage number, the route broken down by urgency band, and the exact stretches that are landing deserts.

Area coverage

A coverage heatmap for each tracked metro, showing how much of the area can reach a viable landing site.

Built on real sites

Diversion candidates are actual facilities scored by RiskIndex, not raw FAA dots. Coverage reflects where you can land and walk away.

FAA urgency framing

Reach maps to the FAA's emergency bands: Land Immediately, Land ASAP, Land As Practical, and the deserts beyond them.

Who it's for

eVTOL operators

Route and dispatch planning around where you can actually land, not where you hope to.

City and airspace planners

The network's coverage gaps before routes get approved.

Regulators

An independent read on whether emergency-landing coverage is good enough.

How to use it

The coverage

Corridor coverage and tracked-market area coverage, open with no signup: the coverage number, the route strip, the landing-desert map, and the band breakdown.

The depth and data

The specific diversion sites and their RiskIndex dossiers, screening for any route or area you choose, and the coverage API. For operators, planners, and regulators.
