The alert levels for a new monitoring period (current year) are based on the preceding
period's performance (preceding year), and are derived from these two values (average and
SD), namely its data points average and the standard deviation (SD). The alerts levels are
represented in the safety indicator graph by 3 alerts lines.

If eight delays and cancellations are experienced in 200 flights that would mean that
there were four delays per 100 flights, or a 4 percent delay rate.
A4 percent delay rate would translate to a 96 percent dispatch rate.
(100 percent- 4 percent delayed = 96 percent dispatched on time)
In other words, the airline dispatched 96 percen{ of its fights on time.
