# AIP:Aero > AIP:Aero simplifies the search for official Aeronautical Information Publications (AIPs), approach charts and airport data for private pilots (VFR and IFR) in 62 countries across Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and beyond. Every chart link points to the official national AIP publication; airport pages add decoded METAR/TAF weather, runways, frequencies, sunrise/sunset, customs and border-crossing information. Important notes: - All aeronautical data is linked from the official national AIP sources, not republished. Always check the official publication before flight. - Airport detail pages follow the pattern `https://aip.aero///?` (for example https://aip.aero/de/vfr/?EDDF), where `` is one of vfr, ifr, heliports, military or aeroports depending on the country. - Every country is available in its native language and in English (`https://aip.aero//en/`); Australia, Ireland, Malta, Namibia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom are English-only. - AIP:Aero is a free installable web app (PWA) with offline country packs - no account needed. ## Countries - [Albania](https://aip.aero/al/): official AIP of Albania - VFR airfields with approach charts, airport data and weather - [Armenia](https://aip.aero/am/): official AIP of Armenia -

They return the site's own source-stamped data - raw METAR/TAF and NOTAM text verbatim, all times UTC, the current AIRAC edition - plus the canonical aip.aero detail-page link, so an answer can cite the page instead of guessing. No tool changes anything, and none needs an account or key. - `search_airports(query, country?)`: find aerodromes by name or ICAO code, with their detail-page URLs - `get_airport(icao)`: coordinates, longest-runway hint and detail link of one aerodrome - `nearby_airports(lat, lon, radiusKm?)`: aerodromes around a position, across borders - `get_weather(icao)`: current METAR and TAF - `get_notams(icao)`: current NOTAMs, raw ICAO text verbatim - `list_saved_airports()` / `list_recent_airports()`: the visitor's offline-saved and recently viewed fields (stored in their own browser only) - `open_airport(slug, country, type, section?)`: the detail-page URL; `section` (notams, briefing, faq, facts) appends the in-page anchor of that box - `prepare_briefing(dep, dest?, altn?, tasKt?)`: the departure's detail-page link that opens its briefing panel with the route already filled in (nav log, route map, winds aloft, terrain/airspace profile, PDF briefing by e-mail); it never sends anything - the pilot reviews and requests the briefing on the page - `list_pages()` / `open_page(page)`: the current country's overview pages (airport list, fuel prices, fly-in restaurants, landing fees, border crossing, VFR-weather reliability), where available All ICAO inputs are 4-letter ICAO location indicators (case-insensitive, e.g. `EDNY`), never aerodrome names; a malformed code is answered with an explicit `error` (HTTP 400 on the endpoints below), never with an empty result - resolve a name with `search_airports` first. Without a WebMCP browser, the same data is reachable over the public JSON endpoints the tools wrap (no key; unversioned website endpoints - for a stable integration use the key-gated `/api/v1/*` API below): - `GET https://aip.aero/api/airport-search?q=&country=`: up to a few matches (`country` optional); build each result's detail link as `https://aip.aero///?`, where `` is the result's lowercased `country` and `` its `type` mapped vfr -> vfr, ifr -> ifr, heliport -> heliports, mil -> military, aeroport -> aeroports - `GET https://aip.aero/api/airport-weather?icao=`: METAR and TAF (a field without its own station gets the nearest one; `null` when no report is available) - `GET https://aip.aero/api/airport-notams?icao=`: current NOTAMs. `"ok": false` means the NOTAMs could not be read - it is NOT a field without NOTAMs; only `"ok": true` with an empty list is. - Route briefing hand-off (what `prepare_briefing` returns): append `#briefing?dest=&altn=&tas=` (each part optional) to the DEPARTURE's detail link, e.g. `https://aip.aero/de/vfr/?EDNY#briefing?dest=EDDS&tas=110`; the page opens its briefing panel with that route filled in This is informational data for flight preparation, not an official pre-flight briefing: always confirm against the official AIP and NOTAM source. ## Data - Read-only JSON API for integration partners (key-gated, versioned): `GET https://aip.aero/api/v1/countries` (live-country index with AIRAC + crawl stamps), `GET https://aip.aero/api/v1/airports/{country}` (a country's aerodrome index), `GET https://aip.aero/api/v1/airport/{ICAO}` (one aerodrome with chart links, AIRAC + facts), `GET https://aip.aero/api/v1/notams/{ICAO}` (current NOTAMs, verbatim) and `GET https://aip.aero/api/v1/weather/{ICAO}` (METAR/TAF).
