• resolve_aircraft_type

  Which aircraft type does this designator or marketing name refer to? Accepts an ICAO type designator (A21N) or a marketing name people actually say ("A321neo", "Dash 8-400", "777-300ER", "Q400"). Returns the ICAO designator, manufacturer, model, engine count and type, aircraft c…

• resolve_registration

• airframe_flights

  Which flights has this airframe been heard or filed operating, how often and when -- the inverse of flight_airframes, from Airside Labs' own ADS-B receiver and the FAA flight-plan feed? Accepts a registration in any common form (G-XWBA, N101DU, PH-BHA) or a Mode-S address (406a3…

• validate_identifiers

  Do these aviation identifiers describe the same thing on this date? Give any combination of a registration (tail number), a Mode-S 24-bit address, an ICAO type designator, an operator name, an airline designator (IATA or ICAO), a callsign and a flight designator, plus `as_of`. E…

• report_unmet_need

  Tell us what you came looking for and could not get from these tools. Call this when you needed something aviation-related that this toolset did not give you. It is not an error channel and it is not a retry: it is how the next version of these tools learns what is missing. A ne…

• use_case_landscape

  How many use cases are there, sliced one way? Counts you can quote. `group_by` is one of org_type (16 canonical organisation types: Airport, Airline, Air Navigation Service Provider, Ground Handling, Regulator / Authority, Aerospace Manufacturing, MRO / Maintenance …), sector, r…

• search_use_cases

  Which aviation AI use cases match this text? Find candidates by keyword. Full-text search (BM25, stemmed) over 6,500 use cases spanning airports, airlines, ANSPs, ground handlers, regulators, manufacturers and more, each attached to a role and an organisation type. Returns summa…

• get_use_case

  The full record for one use case, by id from a search or landscape result. Returns the use-case text; the role that owns it with its description; the organisation type (canonical and as the corpus names it); every data requirement -- title, description, nominal update rate with…

• similar_use_cases

  What else in the catalogue is like this use case? Nearest neighbours by meaning. Returns up to 20 use cases closest in embedding space (bge-base cosine over the use-case text), as summaries with a `similarity`. Good for "what else is like the one we picked", for finding the same…

• data_requirements

  What data does this use case, role or organisation type need, and how fresh? Three modes. With `use_case_id`: that use case's requirements verbatim -- title, normalised title_family, description, nominal update rate, normalised cadence class and the kind of source system. With `…

• trace_data_lineage

  Which standard operational messages would evidence this data need? The lineage spine is use case -> data requirement -> requirement family -> standard message type -> data elements. Four modes. With `use_case_id`: that use case's requirements grouped by family, each family with…

• trace_workflow

  What happens before and after this use case, and who hands off to whom? The catalogue is otherwise flat -- role, use case, data requirement -- with no edges. This is the edges: named operational sequences with their steps in order, the role at each step, the `gate` that must hol…

• easa_ai_framework

  The EASA AI-level and hazard-class tables, page-cited, to read a screen against. Returns the AI levels (0, 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B: what the system does and how much authority the end user keeps), the hazard classes (H1-H5: worst credible effect and the assurance level it implies…

• scenarios

  Which real operational episodes does the catalogue carry, to illustrate use cases with? A scenario is one real day reconstructed from data Airside Labs holds and may publish: FAA SWIM flight plans, FAA NOTAMs, its own ADS-B receiver. Each is a UTC window at a place, a timeline w…

• get_scenario

  One real episode end to end: what happened, where and when (UTC), the actors, what it shows and what it must not be read as; the timeline, every event with its actor, source and the reference of the raw record it came from; and the lenses, each a use case's cut of the day with a…

• airport_network_integration

  What level of network integration does this airport have with the EUROCONTROL Network Manager, or with the FAA's TFDM programme, as of a date? Answers with one value: `ani` (Advanced Network Integrated: A-CDM with the higher level of integration), `acdm` (all DPI message types s…

• airport_operations_status

  Is there a positive, sourced reason this airport is not open for ordinary commercial engagement: closed to civil traffic, in a sanctioned jurisdiction, or a general-aviation field with no scheduled service? Returns `closed` (no civil passenger operations), `restricted` (the airp…

• route_capacity

  What happened to a suggestion or unmet-need report filed here? No API key is needed. Pass the `fingerprint` from a submit_suggestion or report_unmet_need receipt (12 hex characters). Returns `status`: `shipped` (a person acted on it and the change is live, with what shipped and…
