For pre-purchase or pre-booking “is my flight safe” questions, use a Tier 2 model-level lookup with the equipment type from the booking site.Step 0 — Always run doctor firstBefore answering any user question, run:airframe-pp-cli doctor--jsonParse the JSON to determine:db_exists— has the user ever synced?sync_meta— which sources (faa_master, ntsb_avall) are present and how fresh?mdbtools.detected— can we serve Tier 2 questions?flight_goat.detected— can we serveflight identquestions?Branch from herebased on what the user actually asked.Decision tree (use this to drive every user interaction)A) User asks a Tier 1 question and Tier 1 is missingExample: “Who owns N628TS?” butairframe-pp-cli doctorshows db_existsfalse or sync_meta is empty.Tell the user: “I need to download the FAA registry first (~80 MB, ~30 seconds, no setup needed).”Offer to runairframe-pp-cli syncfor them.After sync completes, answer their original question.B) User asks a Tier 1 question and Tier 1 is readyJust answer it directly:airframe-pp-clitailN628TS airframe-pp-cli ownerBerkshire--limit20C) User asks a Tier 2 question (safety / accident / NTSB) andmdbtoolsis missingThis is the most important branch — handle it with care.Surface a clear explanation:“To answer that, I need NTSB accident data, which requires themdbtoolspackage (NTSB ships their data in Microsoft Access format). It’s a one-time install — would you like me to install it for you?”If the user says yes, detect their OS and run the right command:# Detect OSuname-s# → Darwin for macOS, Linux for Linux# Detect Linux distribution if Linuxcat/etc/os-release2/dev/null|grep-E^IDThen proposebefore running:OS detectedCommand to runmacOS (Darwin)brew install mdbtoolsUbuntu / Debian (IDubuntu,IDdebian)sudo apt update sudo apt install -y mdbtoolsFedora (IDfedora)sudo dnf install -y mdbtoolsRHEL / Rocky / Alma (IDrhel/IDrocky/IDalmalinux)sudo dnf install -y mdbtoolsArch (IDarch)yay -S --noconfirm mdbtools(AUR — needsyayorparu; if neither is present, tell the user to install one first)Important:never runsudocommands without first showing the user what you plan to run and confirming.

Would you like me to run that now? It’s ~90 MB and takes about a minute.”If yes:airframe-pp-clisync--sourcentsbE) User asks a flight-ident question —first, check the 72-hour gateExamples: “Is UA1234 safe?”, “What plane will I be on for AA200?”, “Is my flight on DL5678 tomorrow OK?”Critical context:Airlines don’t assign a specific tail to a flight until ~48–72 hours before departure. If the user is more than 72 hours from their flight (or shopping a ticket they haven’t booked yet), looking up the specific tail isimpossible— there is no tail yet. Don’t burn a flight-goat call on it.Step 1 — establish when the flight is.Ask the user (or infer from context):“When is the flight? Tail assignments are made 48–72 hours before departure — if you’re shopping or it’s further out than that, I’ll point you at the model-level safety lookup instead, which is more reliable for that horizon.”Step 2 — branch:Flight is 72 hours away or hypothetical→ recommend the model-level fallback. Most airline booking sites tell you the equipment type (e.g. “Boeing 737 MAX 8” or “Airbus A321neo”). Run:airframe-pp-cli modelBoeing 737 MAX 8This answers the user’s underlying question (“is the type of plane I’ll be on safe?”) and needs no flight-goat at all. (It still needs Tier 2 / mdbtools for safety data — fall through to branch C if missing.)Flight is ≤72 hours away OR the user is asking about a flight that already happened (post-incident research)→ proceed with flight-goat resolution. Continue to step 3.Step 3 — flight-goat present? If not, install it.Ifflight_goat.detectedfalse, tell the user:“To resolve a specific flight ident (like UA1234) to a tail number, I needflight-goat-pp-cli. Would you like me to install it? It also requires a FlightAware AeroAPI key — that part you’ll need to provide.”If yes:goinstallgithub.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/travel/flight-goat/cmd/flight-goat-pp-clilatestStep 4 —FLIGHT_GOAT_API_KEY_AUTHset? If not, explain the cost.If the env var is unset, tell the user that flight-goat routes through FlightAware’s AeroAPI (paid service) and they’ll need to sign up at flightaware.com/aeroapi to get a key. Don’t push past without explicit direction.Step 5 — run the lookup.airframe-pp-cli flight UA1234Note that the result may includemultiple recent tailsthat have flown the same ident over the past 14 days — flight-goat returns the history, not just the next scheduled flight. For post-incident research, look at the date-aligned tail; for pre-departure curiosity, look at the most recent one.CommandsCommandTierWhat it doessync [flags]bothDownload bulk data, replace local tables, VACUUMtail N-number1 (2 enriches)Aircraft dossier accident historyowner name1Aircraft fleet by registered ownermodel make [model]2Aggregate NTSB events by modelevent event-id2One NTSB eventflight ident1 flight-goatResolve ident → tail → enrichsearch query12 --with-ftsFTS5 searchdoctor—Health checkAll commands accept--json,--sele ct dotted-path, and--db-path.Trigger-phrase → tier mappingFor fast classification of what the user is asking.Most user questions are answered by Tier 1 or Tier 2 alone— the flight-goat path is the exception, not the rule.Tier 1 phrases→ just need FAA sync“who owns N…”, “who owns the plane with tail N…”“what aircraft does own”, “ fleet”“how old is this plane”, “when was this tail manufactured”“what type/model is N…”, “what’s the Mode-S for N…”“find aircraft registered to name/state/LLC”Tier 2 phrases→ need NTSB mdbtools“how safe is a ”, “is the safe”, “safety record of ”“accident history for ”, “crash history of ”“ever had an incident with this tail” (when N-number is known)“NTSB events for”, “show me event ERA…”“fatal accidents in this year”“crashes in last ”Tier 1 flight-goat phrases→ require ident resolution andonly work within ~72 hours of departure“is UA1234 safe”(only useful if flight is within 72 hours)“what plane is United 1234 today/tomorrow”“my flight is DL567 in a few hours — what aircraft”“what tails did UA89 fly last week”(post-incident — always works)For any “is my flight safe” / “what plane will I be on” question,always ask when the flight is first. If the user is shopping or the flight is more than 72 hours out, redirect to a model-level lookup (airframe-pp-cli model equipment-type) using the equipment type from the user’s booking site. Most airline booking pages display the aircraft type for every flight at search time.Output and agent mode--agent(--json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes) is the default mode for programmatic consumption.
