AI Copilot — 5 Modes, 105 Tools

Five conversational modes and 105 AI tools spanning weather, compliance, planning, performance, helicopter, drone, eVTOL, IFR, SWIM, and post-flight debrief.

AI Copilot — 5 Modes, 105 Tools

The AeroCopilot AI Copilot is a pilot-grade conversational assistant grounded in real FAA data, your aircraft profile, and your currency record. It is exposed through five distinct chat modes, each with a different specialization, and backed by 105 callable tools that fetch live data, compute aviation math, and check regulatory gating.

The 5 Chat Modes

  1. AI Copilot (General) — The default mode. Fluent in weather, NOTAMs, regulations, planning, and your aircraft. Use this for everything you do not need a specialist for. Coverage spans live METAR/TAF/SIGMET/PIREP, NOTAMs and TFRs, 14 CFR and AIM references, your aircraft profile and currency, and FAA airport directory data.

  2. ChatFAR — A 14 CFR expert chatbot. Cites the binding Federal Aviation Regulation, explains it in plain English, gives a practical example, and calls out the gotcha most pilots miss. Covers Parts 1, 43, 61, 67, 68, 89, 91, 97, 107, 119, 121, 125, 133, 135, 137, 141, 142, plus 49 USC §44809, SFAR 194, the AIM, FAA Advisory Circulars, FAA Orders 8130.2J and 8130.34D, FAA Handbooks, and the Pilot/Controller Glossary.

  3. ChatCFI — A 24/7 flight instructor using the Socratic method. References PHAK, AFH, IFH, IPH, RFH chapters, AIM paragraphs, and the FAA Airman Certification Standards. Adapts language to pre-solo, instrument, and commercial students.

  4. ATC Trainer — Practice radio communications with a virtual controller simulating ground, tower, departure, approach, and CTAF interactions. Grades readbacks per AIM Chapter 4. Progressive difficulty from CTAF self-announce to Class B clearance delivery.

  5. Post-Flight Debrief — A structured CFI-led debrief after every flight. Walks through what went well, areas to reflect on, ADM review, study considerations, and three actionable takeaways. Connects experiences to specific PHAK/AFH/AIM references.

The 105 AI Tools

Tools are organized into eight groups: a cross-mode base toolset available regardless of aircraft, plus mode- and domain-specific additive tools. Counts are sourced from the canonical capability registry (apps/web/lib/feature-registry.ts) — a given pilot sees a filtered subset per chat mode and tier, not all 105 at once.
