The Tools Behind the Copilot

The Copilot picks the right tool for the question. Here is the full library — what each tool does, what it solves and a sample input/output.

9 toolsAirplane mode

Airplane mode

Fixed-wing pilot tools — equipment, currency, endorsements.

Equipment

getPrimaryAircraftEquipment

Surface your primary aircraft equipment (TKS-FIKI, CAPS, oxygen, glass) so the AI frames answers correctly.

Crew Rest

getDutyOutlook

Compute Part 117/135 duty/rest implications for a planned schedule.

Profile

getOperatingContext

Surface your operating context (Part 91/135/121) so the AI tailors framing.

11 toolsHelicopter mode

getHEMSWxMinimums

Surface HEMS-specific weather minimums under 14 CFR 135 Subpart L.

Operations

getHoistOpsLimits

Surface hoist-operations limitations (wind, sea state, day/night).

Operations

getOffshoreHelideckCheck

Combine wind, swell, deck motion and visibility for an offshore helideck approach decision.

Crew Rest

getCrewRestRequirements

Surface helicopter-specific crew-rest rules under Part 135.

Operations

getOcsDeckMonitoringProtocol

Surface OCS (Outer Continental Shelf) deck-monitoring protocols.

Maintenance

Surface HUMS (Health and Usage Monitoring System) exceedance guidance.

5 toolsDrone mode

Drone mode

Part 107 tools — UASFM, LAANC, Remote ID, Operations Categories.

Airspace

checkUasfm

Check the UASFM ceiling and LAANC eligibility for a lat/lon point.

Validate Remote ID configuration before a planned flight (standard, broadcast module, FRIA).

Compliance

getPublicAircraftAuth

Surface public aircraft / COA authorizations for government drone operators.

6 toolseVTOL mode

3 toolsIFR planning

IFR planning

IFR-specific tools — alternates, equipment strings, templates.

Planning

suggestAlternate

Suggest IFR alternates per 14 CFR 91.169 with current and forecast WX.
