Tools

• ourairports_find_airports ~514 tokens
  Find airports within a radius of a latitude/longitude, ranked nearest-first by great-circle distance, each with its distance (km) and bearing (degrees true) from the query point. The grounding tool for "nearest airport to here" — pair it with a live aviation server to fetch weather or positions for
• ourairports_find_navaids ~721 tokens
  Find navigation aids (VOR, VOR-DME, DME, NDB, NDB-DME, TACAN, VORTAC) two ways: spatially, by passing latitude+longitude (with an optional radius_km); or relationally, by passing airport_code to get the navaids that serve that airport. Supply exactly one mode — both or neither is a validation error.
• ourairports_get_airport ~448 tokens
  Fetch the full record for one airport resolved by ANY code — IATA (SEA), ICAO (KSEA), GPS, national/local, or the OurAirports ident — with its runways and radio frequencies inline. The single `code` param is resolved case-insensitively across all five identifier spaces (priority: ident, then ICAO, I
• ourairports_list_countries ~384 tokens
  List countries and valid country/region filter codes for ourairports_search_airports and ourairports_search_runways, with airport counts excluding closed airports. Restrict to country for one country's regions; country and continent combine as AND. include_regions without a scope returns the entire
• ourairports_search_airports ~660 tokens
  Search the bundled OurAirports corpus by free-text (name / municipality / keywords) and/or facets (country, region, type). Every query token must match (word order and partial words are handled). Returns ranked airport summaries — operational and larger airports first — each with its full code set a
• ourairports_search_runways ~1143 tokens
  Search runways across the whole bundled OurAirports corpus by attribute, joined back to their airports — the cross-airport counterpart to ourairports_get_airport (which returns runways for one already-known airport). Filter by airport facets (country, region, type) and runway facets (surface, min_le
