The platform available at **[https://dash.niamonx.io/flightinfo](https://dash.niamonx.io/flightinfo)** — known as **Flight Information** — is an aviation intelligence and flight lookup tool within the NiamonX platform. It allows users to search for flight information by IATA or ICAO flight number and receive a structured report with route, status, departure details, arrival details, aircraft data, telemetry fields, timestamps, and local browser-based request history.

## Overview of the Service

**Flight Information** is designed to help users quickly check the current or recent status of a commercial or private flight using standard aviation flight identifiers.

The tool supports both **IATA** and **ICAO** flight number formats and can automatically detect the correct query mode. It returns a clean, structured flight summary that is useful for aviation monitoring, travel verification, logistics coordination, OSINT workflows, executive protection, airport operations review, and general flight status checks.

The interface is built to be simple and fast. A user enters a flight number, selects or keeps auto-detection mode, and receives a readable flight report containing departure and arrival airports, gates, terminals, scheduled or updated times, status, route, and available aircraft or telemetry fields.

Access depends on the user’s plan and daily tool limits.

---

## 🔍 How the Search Works

When a user enters a flight number, the tool checks the query using the selected mode.

Available modes include:

- Auto detect
- IATA
- ICAO

In **Auto detect** mode, the system attempts to determine whether the entered value is an IATA-style or ICAO-style flight number.

Examples:

```text
AA6

```

```text
AAL6

```

The backend then returns available flight information and displays it in a structured format.

If the flight is found, the report may include:

- Flight number
- Route
- Current status
- Departure airport
- Departure terminal
- Departure gate
- Departure local time
- Departure UTC time
- Departure update timestamp
- Arrival airport
- Arrival terminal
- Arrival gate
- Baggage belt
- Arrival local time
- Arrival UTC time
- Arrival update timestamp
- Aircraft registration
- Aircraft type
- Aircraft model
- Aircraft manufacturer
- Engine information
- Build year and age
- Aircraft HEX
- MSN
- Telemetry fields
- Request history entry

```

The table can help users compare repeated lookups or scan recent results quickly.

Users can click a column header to sort results when sorting is available in the interface.

---

## 🕓 Request History

The **Request History** section stores recent searches locally in the user’s browser.

Example history behavior:

```text
Stores last 100 queries in your browser.

```

History entries may include:

- Search mode
- Original query
- Normalized flight number
- Route
- Lookup timestamp
- Flight status
- Result metadata

Example history item:

```text
auto
IB8539

```

Request history is useful for quickly revisiting previous flight checks without retyping the flight number.

Because the history is stored in the browser, it may be cleared if the user deletes browser data, switches devices, or uses another browser profile.

---

## 🧠 Key Features

### IATA and ICAO Search

The tool supports both common flight identifier formats.

### Auto-Detection

Auto mode attempts to detect whether the query is IATA or ICAO.

### Structured Flight Report

Results are displayed in a readable layout with departure, arrival, aircraft, and telemetry sections.

### Local and UTC Times

The report shows both local airport time and UTC time when available.

### Gate, Terminal, and Baggage Details

The tool can display airport operation details such as terminal, gate, and baggage claim.

### Aircraft Details

When available, the report includes aircraft registration, type, model, manufacturer, engines, HEX, and MSN.

### Telemetry Fields

The tool can display position, heading, altitude, speed, vertical speed, and squawk when available.

### Client-Side Controls

Filtering and interface controls are handled client-side for a fast user experience.

### Request History

The last 100 queries are stored locally in the browser.

### Plan-Based Access

Daily query limits depend on the user’s plan.

---

## 🚦 Daily Queries and Plan Limits

Flight Information uses plan-based daily query limits.

Example:

```text
148 / 150
Queries remaining / total
Plan: Sentinel

```

Limits help control usage, protect backend availability, and provide predictable access across user plans.

Users should monitor the remaining query counter when performing multiple searches.

---

## 🧭 IATA vs ICAO

Flight Information supports both IATA and ICAO flight identifiers.

### IATA Flight Number

IATA flight numbers usually use a two-character airline code followed by a flight number.

Example:

```text
AA6

```

### ICAO Flight Number

ICAO flight numbers usually use a three-letter airline code followed by a flight number.

Example:

```text
AAL6

```

### Auto Detect

Auto-detect mode tries to determine the correct format automatically.

If the result seems incorrect or no flight is found, users can manually switch between IATA and ICAO mode.

---

## 🧠 Result Interpretation

Flight data should be interpreted carefully.

Important interpretation notes:

- Flight status can change quickly.
- Gate and terminal assignments may change before departure or arrival.
- Arrival times may be estimated and updated during flight.
- Aircraft information may be unavailable for some flights.
- Telemetry may be delayed, missing, or privacy-filtered.
- Local times are based on airport time zones.
- UTC times are useful for cross-region comparison.
- A missing field does not always mean the information does not exist; it may simply not be returned by the provider.

The tool is useful for fast lookup and monitoring, but critical operational decisions should be confirmed with the airline, airport, or official aviation data source when necessary.

---

## ✅ Recommended Workflow

A practical flight lookup workflow should follow these steps.

### 1. Enter the Flight Number

Use a clean IATA or ICAO flight number.

### 2. Start With Auto Detect

Use Auto detect first unless you already know the identifier type.

### 3. Review the Route

Confirm that the origin and destination match the expected flight.

### 4. Check the Status

Look for status such as scheduled, en-route, landed, delayed, or cancelled.

### 5. Review Departure Details

Check departure airport, terminal, gate, local time, UTC time, and update timestamp.

### 6. Review Arrival Details

Check arrival airport, terminal, gate, baggage belt, local time, UTC time, and update timestamp.

### 7. Check Aircraft and Telemetry

Use aircraft and telemetry fields when available, but remember that they may be incomplete.

### 8. Save or Reuse History

Use local request history to revisit previous queries.

### 9. Verify Critical Details

For time-sensitive travel, logistics, or operational decisions, confirm with official airline or airport sources.
