Can my AI track a specific flight in real-time and show me its current position, altitude, and speed?

Yes! Use the `search_flights` tool with the flight number (e.g., "UAL123") to find the active flight, then use `track_flight` with the flight ID to get real-time position coordinates (latitude, longitude), altitude in feet, ground speed in knots, heading direction, and vertical speed. Your AI agent will respond with the exact location of the aircraft and its current flight parameters. Perfect for passenger pickup coordination and live flight monitoring.

How do I find all flights departing from or arriving at a specific airport?

Simply ask the agent to run the `get_airport_flights` action with the airport IATA or ICAO code (e.g., "JFK" or "KJFK" for New York JFK). It will return all arriving and departing flights with airline, flight number, aircraft type, origin/destination, scheduled and actual times, and current status. You can also use `search_airports` first to find the correct airport code if you only know the city name.

Can I look up information about a specific aircraft by its tail number or registration?

Absolutely! Use the `get_aircraft_info` tool with the aircraft registration/tail number (e.g., "N12345" for US, "G-EUUU" for UK, "D-AIMA" for Germany). Your AI will return the aircraft manufacturer and model, registration country, owner/operator, year built, engine type, number of engines, aircraft age, and category (airline, business jet, private, cargo). You can also use `search_aircraft` with an operator name to see their entire fleet.
