# PilotGPT

> Aviation information site for pilots: every US airport with runways, frequencies, ILS approaches, charts, fuel prices, live METAR/TAF, traffic pattern diagrams and a VFR sectional map.

Data is sourced from the FAA NASR database and NOAA Aviation Weather Center. Updated every 28 days (FAA cycle) for airport data, hourly for weather.

## Airport pages

Every US airport has a dedicated page covering overview, key facts, FAQ, wind compass, traffic pattern, live METAR/TAF, frequencies, ILS approaches, charts and fuel prices on a single canonical URL:

- https://www.pilotgpt.com/airports/{ICAO}

With these sub-sections:

- /airports/{ICAO}                       — Full airport briefing (everything above on one page)
- /airports/{ICAO}/runways               — Index of all runways for the airport
- /airports/{ICAO}/runways/{END}         — Per-runway-end page (wind component, pattern, ILS geometry)
- /airports/{ICAO}/fbos/{slug}           — FBO detail page (fuel prices, services, contact)
