PilotEdgeDiscordBot

This project uses the PilotEdge API to deliver textual ATIS based on current conditions.

What can it do?

ATIS -METAR {ATIS}

When PilotEdge is available and online, the bot will retrieve the current ATIS. It will also return two emoji reactions to its message -- a colored circle indicating the field condition (VFR, IFR, MVFR, etc.) and a letter indicating the assigned ATIS letter.

METAR -METAR {ICAO}

For fields with weather reporting, a METAR can be returned.

No ATIS found or off network field

If an identifier is provided and does not have ATIS available or is off network, the bot will return a METAR with a message indicating the situation.

Future integrations

• Retrieve and file flight plans
• Track flight progress
• ATIS text to speech via audio channel
• Cleanup and streamline API access
