so-chatbot's Introduction

Help

This is the bot that lives in The Hangar - for more info, ping @DannyBeckett.

So far, using 3-letter IATA or 4-letter ICAO airport codes, you can try:

!!weather KJFK to get English weather info for New York JFK airport
!!metar LPL to get raw METAR data for Liverpool John Lennon airport
!!taf AMS to get raw TAF data for Amsterdam Schiphol airport
!!distance LHR FRA to get approximate distances & flying times between London Heathrow and Frankfurt

You can also try:

!!TeachMeToFly

Leave an answer here with ideas for new commands! Here are some that have been suggested:

Aerodrome data - airnav or worldaerodata.com
Weather frequencies & phone numbers

Technical Info

You can check out the source code for the above commands at ./source/plugins/av-*.js.

The corresponding PHP can be found at ../so-chatbot-php-helper.

Edits:

./source/adapter.js

./source/commands.js

point !!help to our fork, instead of upstream.

Commands deleted:

Specific to programming or unnecessary: awsm colors cowsay domain firefly github hangman jquery mdn mustache norris stop urban vendetta xkcd zalgo;
The !!weather command to make room for ours.

Consider charts.aero for IAPs

roe: I suggest you use charts.aero for IAPs, seems to be pretty much world wide, and really cool. :)

Allow command aliases

E.g.

bot.addCommand({
    name:           'metar',
    fun:            weather.metar,
    description:    'Retrieves the raw METAR weather data for a specified 3-letter IATA or 4-letter ICAO airport code - e.g. `!!metar LPL` or `!!metar KJFK`',
    async:          true,
    permissions:    {
                        del:    'NONE'
                    }
});

bot.addCommand({
    name:           'metar',
    fun:            weather.metar,
    description:    'Retrieves the raw METAR weather data for a specified 3-letter IATA or 4-letter ICAO airport code - e.g. `!!metar LPL` or `!!metar KJFK`',
    async:          true,
    permissions:    {
                        del:    'NONE'
                    }
});

Becomes:

bot.addCommand({
    name:           'metar',
    aliases:        ['metars'],
    fun:            weather.metar,
    description:    'Retrieves the raw METAR weather data for a specified 3-letter IATA or 4-letter ICAO airport code - e.g. `__CMD__ LPL` or `__CMD__ KJFK`',
    async:          true,
    permissions:    {
                        del:    'NONE'
                    }
});

Switch to CSV for Our Airports, rather than screenscrape

Will need to create a MySQL db

Remove the patch that adds a delay to replies

Use NOAA instead of ADDS

Initially for !!metar and !!taf, and eventually !!weather.

All aerodromes should then be found.

Allow selection of a lesson by category

DeltaLima: we could try and make some categories in the lessons from Otto. I was thinking: [general introduction], [pre-flight], [basics of control], [take-off], [cruise flight], [landing](tons of these ;-), [CRM], [law & regulations] etc
