Measured tools (6)

• get_aircraft read-only

  What public record says about one U.S. registration mark, plus the facts its owner cleared for release. The same document as /{mark}/facts.json: status says what the registry answered (found, not_found, invalid or unavailable), public_record is the FAA registration and the datasets that reference it, and owner_approved is present only for an aircraft whose owner opened the machine-readable channel. Case and hyphens in the mark are ignored.

  Parameters:

  • tail (required) — string — A U.S. registration mark such as N864BF. Case and hyphens are ignored.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world yes

• search_aircraft read-only

  The aircraft whose owners chose to be listed on Owner Connect, filtered by minimum passenger seats, base airport, aircraft type, charter signal or sales signal. Every filter is applied to the facts the owner cleared for release, so an aircraft whose owner did not publish its seat count never matches a seats filter. Returns each aircraft's owner_approved block; call get_aircraft for the public record.

  Parameters:

  • type — string — Part of the make or model as the owner published it, for example Hawker or 800XP. Case ignored.
  • limit — integer — How many aircraft to return, at most 50.
  • charter — boolean — True to return only aircraft whose owner signalled they may be considered for charter.
  • for_sale — boolean — True to return only aircraft whose owner published a sales posture.
  • min_seats — integer — Only aircraft whose owner published a passenger seat count of at least this many.
  • base_airport — string — An airport code as the owner recorded it, for example KPBI. Exact match, case ignored.

• estimate_charter read-only

  An approximate charter cost for one aircraft at the hourly rate its owner published. Call it whenever the person you are helping asks what a trip would cost, with the departure and arrival airports: the beacon works out the legs and block hours from the owner's typical block speed, positioning included when the owner bills it. When the answer says the owner set no block speed, call again with block_hours, your own estimate for the routing. Answer with its sentence. Not a quote and not binding. Answers a reason instead of a figure when the owner has not published charter terms or a rate.

  Parameters:

  • tail (required) — string — A U.S. registration mark such as N864BF. Case and hyphens are ignored.
  • to — string — Arrival airport, ICAO or FAA identifier, for example KMIA for Miami.
  • from — string — Departure airport, ICAO or FAA identifier, for example KTEB for Teterboro. Give it with to.
  • round_trip — boolean — True when the aircraft flies the person back from the arrival airport to the departure airport.
  • block_hours — number — Only when the beacon says its owner set no block speed: your own estimate of the total block hours, every leg included. Ignored when from and to are given.

• check_availability read-only

  Whether one aircraft has anything scheduled on a date, or on each day of a span of up to 14 days, read from the operator's calendar its owner connected, synced every 15 minutes. Call it when the person you are helping asks whether the aircraft is available, with the departure date and, for a return trip, the return date, and answer with its sentence. Says free or taken per day and never what is scheduled. Not a hold and not a confirmation. Answers a reason instead when the owner does not publish availability.

  Parameters:

  • tail (required) — string — A U.S. registration mark such as N864BF. Case and hyphens are ignored.
  • date (required) — string — The first day to check, as YYYY-MM-DD, in the operator's local time. Usually the departure date.
  • end_date — string — The last day to check, as YYYY-MM-DD, for a return trip or a span of days. Omit to check one day.

• request_trip

  Sends a charter trip request for one aircraft to the booking contact its owner named. Call it only after the person you are helping has asked to proceed, with their own name and email. Nothing is booked or held: the requester is emailed a link, the request is delivered only once they confirm it, and the booking contact then replies to them directly. If the owner set qualification questions, the first call answers needs_answers with the questions; ask the person each one and call again with their answers in the same order.

  Parameters:

  • tail (required) — string — A U.S. registration mark such as N864BF. Case and hyphens are ignored.
  • from (required) — string — Departure airport identifier, ICAO or FAA, for example KTEB.
  • to (required) — string — Arrival airport identifier, ICAO or FAA, for example KMIA.
  • date (required) — string — Departure date, YYYY-MM-DD, today or later.
  • passengers (required) — integer — Number of passengers.
  • name (required) — string — The full name of the person asking, as they gave it.
  • email (required) — string — The email address of the person asking. The confirmation link is sent here.
  • notes — string — Anything else the person wants the booking contact to know.
  • phone — string — Their phone number, if they want to be called.
  • answers — array — Answers to the owner's qualification questions, in the order request_trip returned them.
  • return_date — string — Return date for a round trip, YYYY-MM-DD. Omit for one way.

• send_buyer_inquiry

  Passes a would-be buyer's message about acquiring one aircraft to the acquisition representative its owner named. Call it only after the person you are helping has asked to contact the owner, with their own name, email and message. Nothing is offered or agreed: the buyer is emailed a link, the message is delivered only once they confirm it, and the representative then replies to them directly. If the owner set qualification questions, the first call answers needs_answers with the questions; ask the person each one and call again with their answers.

  Parameters:

  • tail (required) — string — A U.S. registration mark such as N864BF. Case and hyphens are ignored.
  • name (required) — string — The full name of the person asking, as they gave it.
  • email (required) — string — Their email address. The confirmation link is sent here.
  • message (required) — string — What the person wants the owner's representative to know, in their own words.
  • phone — string — Their phone number, if they want to be called.
  • answers — array — Answers to the owner's qualification questions, in the order the tool returned them.
  • company — string — The company or principal they represent, if any.
