Aviation tools from Airside Labs. Identity: five tools resolve identifiers -- airports, airlines, aircraft types, registrations, flight designators -- to canonical entities with confidence, alternates, temporal validity and per-field provenance, and validate_identifiers checks a set of them against each other on a date. Context: ten use-case atlas tools answer what AI use cases exist for an organisation type or role, what data each needs and how fresh, which standard messages would carry it, where it sits in an operational sequence, how it screens against the EASA AI-level and hazard framework, and what else is like it -- start with use_case_landscape, search with operational nouns, fetch the few full records an argument needs. A full record may carry data stories: measured, dated findings from Airside Labs' own receiver and approved public feeds showing what that data does when touched; scenarios and get_scenario give whole real days with a traceable timeline and the lenses cut from them. Quote a story or a scenario with its source and window, never as live data or an industry statistic. use_case_landscape, get_use_case and submit_suggestion need no API key (a per-address daily cap applies). report_unmet_need is how to tell us what you could not get; submit_suggestion is the open suggestion box — corrections, missing use cases, data sources, feature or commercial feedback. Internally three more tools adjudicate airport charges against encoded contract clauses. Pass as_of for any historical identity question: codes are reused and an undated answer is silently wrong for past data. An unresolved, empty or unadjudicable result is a real answer, not an error.
Known tools 27
resolve_airportWhich aerodrome does this airport code or name refer to on a given date?
Inferred read-onlyresolve_airlineWhich airline does this designator, name or callsign refer to on a date?
Inferred read-onlyresolve_aircraft_typeWhich aircraft type does this designator or marketing name refer to?
Inferred read-onlyparse_flight_identifierSplit a flight designator into carrier and number, and identify the carrier.
Inferred read-onlyflight_airframesWhich airframes have been heard operating this airline flight, how often and when -- from Airside Labs' own ADS-B receiver?
Inferred read-onlyvalidate_identifiersDo these aviation identifiers describe the same thing on this date?
Inferred read-onlyreport_unmet_needTell us what you came looking for and could not get from these tools.
Inferred read-onlyget_use_caseThe full record for one use case, by id from a search or landscape result.
Inferred read-onlydata_requirementsWhat data does this use case, role or organisation type need, and how fresh?
Inferred read-onlytrace_data_lineageWhich standard operational messages would evidence this data need?
Inferred read-onlytrace_workflowWhat happens before and after this use case, and who hands off to whom?
Inferred read-onlyeasa_ai_frameworkThe EASA AI-level and hazard-class tables, page-cited, to read a screen against.
Inferred read-onlyscenariosWhich real operational episodes does the catalogue carry, to illustrate use cases with?
Inferred read-onlyget_scenarioOne 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 small evidence table, an implication, and the use cases it illustrates with a reason for each.
Inferred read-onlyairport_network_integrationWhat level of network integration does this airport have with the EUROCONTROL Network Manager, or with the FAA's TFDM programme, as of a date?
Inferred read-onlyairport_operatorWho operates this airport, which group would take the commercial meeting, and who owns it?
Inferred read-onlyairport_operations_statusIs 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?
Inferred read-onlyairport_connectivityHow many nonstop destinations does this airport publish, and in which countries?
Potential side effectsairport_size_bandWhich ACI passenger size band is this airport in, on its latest published annual total?
Inferred read-onlyroute_capacityHow much scheduled capacity is flown nonstop from one airport to another, by whom and on what, over the last N months of BTS T-100 data?
Inferred read-onlyairport_fleet_mixWhat aircraft types fly from (or into) an airport, how often, with how many seats, and at what load factor, over the last N months of BTS T-100 data?
