PlaneFilter — Flight Aircraft Type Lookup

Look up aircraft type, equipment changes, and confidence scoring for any flight

by querying multiple aviation data sources (OpenSky, AeroDataBox, AirLabs) and

merging results with weighted confidence scoring.

Prerequisites

Required

Node.js (v18+)
RAPIDAPI_KEY — Subscribe to AeroDataBox on RapidAPI (free Basic plan: 150 req/month)

Optional (more data sources)

AIRLABS_KEY — Get from AirLabs (free: 150 req/month)

Commands

1. Search Flight

node {baseDir}/scripts/search_flight.js --flight=CI101 [--date=2026-03-22]

Required env: RAPIDAPI_KEY

Optional env: AIRLABS_KEY (adds another data source for higher confidence)

2. Health Check

node {baseDir}/scripts/health_check.js

Verifies all API keys are set and reachable. Shows which data sources are available.

Output Format

search_flight.js outputs JSON to stdout:

{
  "flightNumber": "CI101",
  "date": "2026-03-22",
  "airline": "China Airlines",
  "origin": "NRT",
  "destination": "TPE",
  "aircraftType": "A333",
  "registration": "B-18311",
  "confidence": 0.6,
  "equipmentChange": null,
  "typeDistribution": { "A333": 1 },
  "sources": ["aerodatabox"]
}

Output Interpretation

When presenting results to the user, follow these rules:

Field	How to Interpret
-------	-----------------
`confidence` ≥ 0.8	High confidence — present the aircraft type directly
`confidence` 0.5–0.8	Medium — mention "likely" or "most probable"
`confidence` < 0.5	Low — warn that data is uncertain, show `typeDistribution`
`equipmentChange` not null	⚠️ Important — Highlight this! The actual aircraft differs from the scheduled one. Show `from`, `to`, and `changeType` (upgrade/downgrade/lateral)
`typeDistribution`	Shows agreement across sources. Multiple entries = sources disagree
`sources` empty	No data found — suggest trying a different date

Note on aircraft type codes: The script automatically normalizes model names (e.g. "Airbus A330-300" → "A333") and filters invalid typecodes. In rare cases, an unrecognized model name may pass through as-is.

How It Works

Parallel query — Hits OpenSky (free, no key) + AeroDataBox (RapidAPI) + AirLabs (optional) simultaneously
Confidence scoring — Weighted votes from each source (AeroDataBox 0.9, OpenSky 0.7, AirLabs 0.6)
Equipment change detection — If scheduled aircraft ≠ actual aircraft, classifies as Upgrade/Downgrade/Lateral

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Fix
-------	-------	-----
`RAPIDAPI_KEY not set`	Missing env var	`export RAPIDAPI_KEY=your_key` or set in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
`403 from AeroDataBox`	Invalid or expired key	Check your RapidAPI subscription
`No flight data found`	Flight not in any database	Try with a different date or a major airline flight
