Aviation Resources missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

airman
airman_certification_standards
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.
list_airman_certification_standards
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.
documents
search_documents
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.
page
get_page
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.

Aviation Resources — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Aviation Resources do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: airman_certification_standards, get_page, list_airman_certification_standards, search_documents. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Aviation Resources working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 792 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Aviation Resources?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Aviation Resources need an API key?
No. Aviation Resources completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Aviation Resources?
It answers our handshake in 792 ms on average, which is faster than 11% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
