Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

Capabilities

Tools 4

airman_certification_standards

Returns one FAA Airman Certification Standard (ACS) in full: every area of operation, each task with its objective, and every knowledge, risk management and skills element with its sub-elements and ACS codes (e.g. PA.I.A.K1a). Get the ID from list_airman_certification_standards. A whole ACS is large (a Private Pilot ACS is close to 1,000 elements), so pass areaOfOperation, and task if you can, when you only need part of it.

Discovered
get_page

Returns one page of an FAA document from Aviation Resources: an image of the whole page plus the full text of the passages on it. Use it after search_documents to read a page in full or to see figures, charts and tables, or to read on with nextPageNumber / previousPageNumber. Cite the page with its viewerUrl.

Discovered
list_airman_certification_standards

Lists every FAA Airman Certification Standard (ACS) in Aviation Resources, such as Private Pilot - Airplane or Instrument Rating - Airplane, with its ID, whether it is ready for use, and how many areas of operation and tasks it has. Use this first to find the ACS a lesson is for.

Discovered
search_documents

Full-text search across the FAA handbooks, advisory circulars and other reference documents in Aviation Resources (for example the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Airplane Flying Handbook, Instrument Flying Handbook, Aviation Weather and the Weight & Balance Handbook). Returns the best-matching documents, each with its best pages and short snippets. Use it to find where a topic is covered, then call get_page to read a page in full or see its figures. Cite pages with their viewerUrl.
