## Future Integrations
### Insurance Integration
- SkyWatch.ai API integration planned for insurance services
### Flight Planning
- 1800WXBrief.com integration planned for flight plan filing and activation
### Optional Integrations
- OpenSky Network API for ADS-B data (not required for core functionality)
## User Information Requirements
The platform requires the following user-provided information:
### Pilot Information
- Ratings and certifications
- Currency status
- Personal minimums
- Goals and preferences
### Flight Information
- Origin/destination
- Aircraft details
- Maintenance status
- Equipment status
- Flight rules (VFR/IFR)
- Time of flight
- Payload/passenger information
- Mission goals
## Important Notes
### Aircraft Performance Data
- Third-party sources will be used for aircraft performance data
- All data should be verified against official POH/AFM
- Prominent warnings will be displayed regarding data verification
- Data includes:
- Fuel planning parameters
- Weight & Balance calculations
- Service envelope
- Takeoff & landing distances
- IFR/FIKI capability
- Oxygen system requirements
- Required equipment lists
