getFlowRestrictions

Return the FAA NAS Status delay programs active at an airport — arrival delay, departure delay, ground stop, ground delay — with the average the FAA published, the reason and the trend.

ProblemWhat it solves

The problem this tool solves

A ground stop or a ground delay program changes your whole departure plan, and the Copilot surfaces it during pre-flight. It reports the airport-level program, not a controlled departure time for your individual flight.

Example interaction

Pilot asks

Any flow programs into KEWR this afternoon?

Copilot responds

Ground Delay Program at KEWR: FAA published average 42 minutes, increasing, reason volume and weather. No controlled departure time for your own flight is published here — get that from your dispatcher or ATC.
