Tools

• flightaware_airport_flights ~360 tokens
  List flights at an airport — arrivals and/or departures with scheduled & actual times. The `id` is an airport code (ICAO like "KSFO" or IATA like "SFO"). Use `type` to pick "arrivals", "departures", or "all" (default "all", which also includes scheduled flights). Example: flightaware_airport_flights
• flightaware_flight_position ~224 tokens
  Get the current/last-known position of an in-air flight: latitude, longitude, altitude, groundspeed, heading and timestamp. The `id` must be an AeroAPI fa_flight_id (from flightaware_flight_status). Example: flightaware_flight_position({ id: "UAL123-1234567890-airline-0123", _apiKey: "your-key" })
• flightaware_flight_status ~390 tokens
  Get real-time flight status for a flight number or tail number: origin/destination airports, scheduled/estimated/actual departure & arrival times, current status, and aircraft type. Returns a flights[] array (one flight ident can map to several dated flights). Example: flightaware_flight_status({ id
• flightaware_flight_track ~317 tokens
  Get the historical position track (breadcrumb trail of lat/lon/altitude/groundspeed points) for a specific flight. The `id` must be an AeroAPI fa_flight_id (e.g. "UAL123-1234567890-airline-0123") — get one from flightaware_flight_status first (the fa_flight_id field). Example: flightaware_flight_tra
