Well, hopefully a military pilot out there will be able to give you a better term but if not how about:
Factor de la Arruga (literally the Wrinkle Factor)
or
Factor de Riesgo (Risk Factor)

Good luck to you!

En caso de que no se quiera traducir literalmente, sugeriría: El factor de mala leche. Menos vulgar: El factor de lo imprevisto. Espero que sea de alguna ayuda.

"factor de eventualidad"

Obviously, is a term very confined to military aviation, but deals with the percentages and eventualities the pilots can confront during a mission.
"Pucker" deals with agitation, perturbation.
Luck!
