How the verdict works
Rule: each airport gets Good, Meh or Bad from the FAA NAS status feed. The page verdict is the worse of SRQ and TPA.
| Signal | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Not listed | Good (no known delay) |
| Arrival/departure delay | 15–59 min max = Meh; 60+ = Bad |
| Ground Delay Program | under 60 min max = Meh; 60+ = Bad |
| Ground stop or full closure | Bad |
Result: worse of SRQ (Good) and TPA (Good) = Good.
