Tools

All tools are read-only (readOnlyHint: true) and return structured content.

Tool	What it does
`practice_questions`	1–10 questions in the real FAA 3-option format for Part 107, PPL, IFR, CPL or ATP, filtered by ACS area. Quiz mode hides the answer; study mode shows it with the explanation and references.
`check_answer`	Grades one answer: correct or not, the right option, explanation and 14 CFR / AIM / ACS references.
`diagnose`	A 10–20 question readiness diagnostic spread across the exam's areas (Part 107 weighted like the real test).
`score_diagnostic`	Overall and per-area score against the 70% pass mark, weighted score for Part 107, weakest areas and a suggested next step.
`exam_facts`	Questions, time limit, pass mark, minimum age, retest rules and 2025 national pass rates, with FAA sources.
`cost_of_failing`	Fee per attempt, retest wait or endorsement, the 2025 failure rate and the expected cost of a failed attempt.
`study_plan`	A dated study plan from today to your test day.
`decode_metar`	Plain-English METAR decoding (raw text, or live from NOAA by ICAO code) with flight category and ceiling.
`decode_taf`	Plain-English TAF periods (FM / BECMG / TEMPO / PROB) with the forecast category of each.
`airspace_at`	Airspace class at drone altitudes (0–400 ft) for a US ZIP code or lat/lon, the controlled airspace overhead and the LAANC ceiling.
`get_offer`	Rotate Pilot's current paid prep for an exam, its guarantee terms and links (only when you ask).
`compare_prep_options`	Dated price comparison of common prep options plus free alternatives.
`start_checkout`	The purchase link for Rotate Pilot's prep (only when you ask).

In ChatGPT (?client=chatgpt) the last three tools are not exposed and results contain no prices or purchase links, following OpenAI's plugin guidelines.
