  • ourairports_list_countrieschangedtitle, description, input schema, output schemameaning changed
    before

    List the countries present in the bundled OurAirports dataset with their ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes and airport counts. This is the lookup table for valid `country` (and, with include_regions, `region`) filter values used by ourairports_search_airports. Optionally restrict to a continent or nest each country's regions. Counts exclude closed airports.

    after · 42% of words in common

    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 region table, so prefer country for a one-country lookup. Unscoped and continent-only requests remain available.

    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. Coordinate mode ranks nearest-first with distance (km) and bearing (degrees true). Frequencies are stored in kHz for every navaid type (a VOR on 114.5 MHz reads frequencyKhz 114500) and are also surfaced in MHz. Airport mode returns an empty list (not an error) when the airport exists but has no associated navaids; an unknown airport_code is an error. OurAirports is community-edited — not authoritative for flight operations.

Supply exactly one mode — both or neither is a validation error. Coordinate mode ranks nearest-first with distance (km) and bearing (degrees true). frequencyKhz is the stored value for every navaid type (a VOR on 114.5 MHz reads 114500); frequencyMhz carries the VHF frequency of a VOR or VOR-DME and the paired VHF frequency of a DME, TACAN, or VORTAC, and is null for NDB and NDB-DME, which are tuned in kHz. Each navaid also carries its DME paired frequency, usage class, power, and actual and slaved magnetic variation. totalCount is the match count before limit; a capped result says so. Airport mode returns an empty list (not an error) when the airport exists but has no associated navaids; an unknown airport_code is an error. When airport_code is also a code of other airports, a resolutionNote says which airport it resolved to and names the others by ident — pass that ident to query one of them.

  • ourairports_find_airportschangeddescription, output schema
    before

    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 the result. Takes a coordinate only: no geocoding, so resolve place names to lat/lon upstream first (e.g. an OpenStreetMap or Open-Meteo geocode tool). Closed airports are excluded unless include_closed is set.

  • ourairports_get_airportchangeddescription, output schema
    before

    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, IATA, GPS, local). The response always echoes the airport's complete code set and a resolution_note naming which space matched, so a wrong resolution from an ambiguous national code is self-correcting (re-query with the IATA or ICAO code, or the ident). Absent codes are reported as null, never an error. Closed airports always resolve. OurAirports is community-edited — not authoritative for flight operations.

Absent codes are reported as null, never an error. Runway lengths are the full runway surface (displaced thresholds and overruns included), not usable takeoff or landing distance.

  • ourairports_search_runwayschangeddescription, input schema, output schema
    before

    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_length_ft, min_width_ft, lighted). Returns one flat {airport, runway} row per matching runway, so an airport with three matching runways contributes three rows. `surface` is a case-insensitive substring match against the raw upstream surface string, not an exact code — the runway surface must CONTAIN your text, so a shorter fragment matches more variants (no controlled vocabulary: "asp" matches ASP, ASPH, and Asphalt). A runway whose length or width is unknown is excluded when the matching min_*_ft filter is set — the data can never confirm it meets the threshold. Closed airports and closed runways are both excluded unless their include_* flag is set. Use ourairports_list_countries for valid country/region codes.
