Search the FAA handbooks, advisory circulars and Airman Certification Standards (ACS) used for pilot training, and read any page in full with its figures, charts and tables. Every result links back to the exact page so answers can be cited. Free, public, no API key.
Scored across 4 tools
The four tools target distinct resources/actions: searching documents, reading a page, listing ACSs, and retrieving one ACS. The only mild ambiguity is between list_airman_certification_standards and airman_certification_standards, since the latter lacks an explicit get_ prefix, but descriptions clarify the distinction.
All names use snake_case, but verb conventions are mixed: list_, get_, search_, and a bare noun phrase for retrieving an ACS. The pattern is readable but not consistently verb_noun throughout.
Four tools is well-scoped for this server: two cover ACS discovery/retrieval and two cover document search/page reading. Each tool has a clear role and the set does not feel bloated or thin.
The server covers the main workflows: finding ACSs, retrieving ACS content, searching FAA documents, and reading pages with navigation info. Minor gaps include no document browsing/listing or table-of-contents endpoint, but agents can work around these via search.
Returns one FAA Airman Certification Standard (ACS) in full: every area of operation, each task with its objective, and every knowledge, risk management and skills element with its sub-elements and ACS codes (e.g. PA.I.A.K1a). Get the ID from list_airman_certification_standards. A whole ACS is large (a Private Pilot ACS is close to 1,000 elements), so pass areaOfOperation, and task if you can, when you only need part of it.
Inputs: acsId (required), task, areaOfOperation. Returns: counts, filter, standard, areasOfOperation
Returns one page of an FAA document from Aviation Resources: an image of the whole page plus the full text of the passages on it. Use it after search_documents to read a page in full or to see figures, charts and tables, or to read on with nextPageNumber / previousPageNumber. Cite the page with its viewerUrl.
Inputs: pageNumber (required), resourceId (required), includeImage. Returns: image, indexed, passages, resource, +5 more
Lists every FAA Airman Certification Standard (ACS) in Aviation Resources, such as Private Pilot - Airplane or Instrument Rating - Airplane, with its ID, whether it is ready for use, and how many areas of operation and tasks it has. Use this first to find the ACS a lesson is for.
Inputs: no named parameters. Returns: standards
Full-text search across the FAA handbooks, advisory circulars and other reference documents in Aviation Resources (for example the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Airplane Flying Handbook, Instrument Flying Handbook, Aviation Weather and the Weight & Balance Handbook). Returns the best-matching documents, each with its best pages and short snippets. Use it to find where a topic is covered, then call get_page to read a page in full or see its figures. Cite pages with their viewerUrl.
Inputs: query (required), limit, offset, resourceIds, +1 more. Returns: query, results, pagination
