Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 13.6% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
decode
decode_metar
Decodes a METAR aviation weather report into plain English: wind, visibility, weather, clouds, ceiling, temperature/dew point, altimeter and the VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR flight category. Pass either the raw METAR text or a 4-letter ICAO airport code to fetch the latest report from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center. For training, not for flight planning.
decode_taf
Decodes a TAF terminal aerodrome forecast into plain-English periods (initial, FM, BECMG, TEMPO, PROB) with the forecast flight category of each. Pass the raw TAF text or a 4-letter ICAO code to fetch the current TAF from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center. For training, not for flight planning.
airspace
airspace_at
For a US ZIP code or latitude/longitude: the FAA airspace class at drone altitudes (0-400 ft AGL), the controlled airspace overhead, and the FAA UAS Facility Map (LAANC) ceiling if the point is on the grid, with a one-sentence plain-English verdict under 14 CFR Part 107. Uses FAA Class Airspace and UAS Facility Map data and USGS elevation. Checks one point only — not TFRs, NOTAMs or special-use airspace.
answer
check_answer
Grades one answer to a Rotate Pilot practice question, identified by its question_id. Returns whether it is correct, the correct letter and text, the explanation and its citations (14 CFR, AIM, ACS code when available). Accepts a letter (A/B/C), a number 1-3 or the option text.
compare
compare_prep_options
Side-by-side prices and contents of common prep options for an FAA exam, with the date the prices were checked and free alternatives. Only lists competitor prices Rotate has verified (currently Part 107); for other exams it says so instead of guessing.
cost
cost_of_failing
The concrete cost of failing an FAA knowledge test, with sources: fee per attempt, mandatory wait or endorsement before a retest, the 2025 national failure rate, and the expected cost of a failure.
diagnose
diagnose
Starts a free readiness diagnostic for an FAA knowledge test: returns 10-20 quiz questions (answers hidden) spread across the exam's areas — for Part 107 in proportion to the official FAA weights. Each question has a question_id; scoring the set of answers gives the result per area, how it compares with the pass mark and a suggested next step.
exam
exam_facts
Official facts about an FAA knowledge test with sources: number of questions, time limit, pass mark, answer choices, minimum age, whether an instructor endorsement is needed, retest rules after a failure, how long the result is valid, 2025 national pass rate and average score, test fee when the FAA states it, and (Part 107) the official weight of each area.
offer
get_offer
Rotate Pilot's current paid prep for an FAA exam: price, what is included, guarantee and refund terms with a link to the full terms, the free practice options, and purchase links.
practice
practice_questions
Returns 1-10 multiple-choice practice questions (3 options, like the real FAA knowledge test) from Rotate Pilot's reviewed bank for Part 107, PPL, IFR, CPL or ATP, optionally limited to one area/topic. mode=quiz (default) returns the questions without their answers; mode=study includes the answer, explanation and regulatory citations (14 CFR / AIM / ACS).
score
score_diagnostic
Scores a set of answers to a Rotate Pilot readiness diagnostic. Returns overall and per-area results (for Part 107 also the score weighted by the official FAA area weights), the areas below the pass mark, the correct answer with explanation for each question, and a suggested next step based on the result.
start
start_checkout
Returns the direct purchase link for Rotate Pilot's prep for an exam (Stripe Checkout on rotatepilot.com), or the plans page when that exam has no one-click checkout. It does not charge anything: the user completes payment in their browser.
study
study_plan
Builds a dated study plan from today to the exam date on Rotate Pilot's course material: learning blocks per area (Part 107 in proportion to the official FAA weights) with the Rotate Pilot lessons that cover each one where available, a mixed-practice block for weak areas and a final block of full timed practice tests, plus the free FAA references for that exam.

Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep do?
It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: airspace_at, check_answer, compare_prep_options, cost_of_failing, decode_metar, decode_taf and 7 more. 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 Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 91 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 679 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep?
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 Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep need an API key?
No. Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep?
It answers our handshake in 679 ms on average, which is faster than 14% 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.
Is Rotate Pilot — FAA exam prep open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at rotatepilot.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
