Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of aviation: aircraft specs, airport info, glossary terms, weather, and exam questions. No functional overlap exists.
All tool names use a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (get_aircraft, get_metar, practice_questions), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.
Six tools is well-scoped for an aviation reference and exam prep server; each tool earns its place without redundancy or excess.
The set covers core aviation reference (aircraft, airports, weather, glossary) and exam preparation (practice questions, quiz). Minor gaps like NOTAMs or flight planning exist but are outside the stated purpose.
