Earlier approach choices compete with the evidence needed to trust them.
The planner needs a useful warning before an approach begins, while flight safety requires confidence that the warning reflects the real scene.
Who you’d be doing this for
“We had the order loaded and the customer waiting, then it sat in a hold nobody could explain.”

Runs staging and exception handling at a suburban partner location where late approach holds leave prepared orders waiting.
What is at stake
Late approach holds are leaving prepared suburban orders waiting after they reach the aircraft. You must weigh earlier planner guidance against false warnings that could unnecessarily limit deliveries.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- earlier approach guidance vs. verified safety evidence
- model recall vs. false delivery limits
- onboard compute budget vs. scene understanding
- synthetic coverage vs. field realism
