Disco - Your Dispatch Copilot

Get Started

Teach OpenClaw to Disco — or run it raw from Terminal.

Two ways in. OpenClaw is our flight-planning copilot — the Disco skill loaded into whichever AI agent you’ve configured, ready to plan trips, check weather, and file in ForeFlight Dispatch. Or skip the agent and run Disco directly from your terminal as a TUI.

Grab your ForeFlight Dispatch API key at dispatch.foreflight.com/tools/console/keys before you start — OpenClaw will ask for it during install.

Send OpenClaw this message

In an active OpenClaw session, send this one-liner:

> Read https://disco.aeronautic.ai/install.md and install Disco for me. Let's Disco.

Don't have an active session? The Disco installer drops an openclaw shim into ~/.local/bin/. Run it as a one-shot from your shell:

$ openclaw "Read https://disco.aeronautic.ai/install.md and install Disco for me. Let's Disco."

First time? Run curl -fsSL https://disco.aeronautic.ai/install.sh | bash to get both disco and openclaw installed.

Hand OpenClaw your API key when it asks

OpenClaw will ask for your ForeFlight Dispatch API key in chat, then save it non-interactively via disco setup --api-key. No terminal-paste corruption.

Let's Disco

Start a new session and ask OpenClaw anything flight-related:

> Plan a trip to St. Martin on April 15 in N555DC with Alex

For pilots and dispatchers who want Disco directly from the command line. The REPL and one-shot CLI give you faster control than any web UI — and no agent in the loop.

Install the CLI

$ curl -fsSL https://disco.aeronautic.ai/install.sh | bash

Drops disco into ~/.local/bin. macOS or any Unix-like terminal.

Configure your ForeFlight Dispatch key

Opens the ForeFlight key page in your browser and prompts for paste:

$ disco setup

Set a default aircraft (optional)

$ disco aircraft default N555DC

Launch the REPL or run one-shot commands

Open the interactive TUI:

$ disco

Or fire one-shots from your shell:

$ disco flights +from tomorrow

Integrates with ForeFlight Dispatch

Full read-write access to your ForeFlight Dispatch account — without opening a browser. List flights by date range, create new flights, update routes and crew, manage passengers and cargo, and release flights for filing.

List, create, update, and delete flights
Assign PIC, SIC, and cabin crew with weights
Manage passenger manifests and cargo loads
Release flights for filing (editable or read-only)
Fetch performance data, navlogs, and flight documents
Multi-leg trip chaining and templates

$ disco flights +from tomorrow +limit 5 # Lists your next 5 flights with crew, aircraft, FBO info $ disco flight release +id abc123 # Releases flight for filing // Or just ask OpenClaw: > What flights do I have tomorrow? > Release tomorrow’s flights for filing. > Show me the manifest for the Aspen flight.

Plan, Update, and Reschedule Flights

One surface for the whole flight lifecycle. Plan a new flight, change a route or aircraft mid-stream, or shift the whole chain when plans change — ETDs cascade across every connected leg and Dispatch stays in sync.

Plan a single flight or a multi-leg trip with one command
Update any field on existing flights — route, ETD, altitude, tail, callsign, tags
Move a single flight to a new ETD with /resched
Shift an entire chain — ETDs cascade with the original turn times
Override the turn time at any leg (overnight stops, longer ground time)
Dry-run mode shows the new schedule before anything is committed

$ disco flight create --from KHOU --to KAPF --etd "7am tomorrow" --tail N123AB # Plans a new flight in Dispatch $ disco flight update abc123 --route "KASE..PUB.J80.TUL..KRVS" # Updates route on existing flight $ disco chain shift abc123 --etd "May 7 9am" --turn-hours 2 # Cascades ETDs across the whole chain // Or just ask OpenClaw: > Plan a flight from Houston to Naples at 7am tomorrow on N123AB. > Change tomorrow’s route to go via PUB and TUL. > Move tomorrow’s flights to start at 11am. > Push the whole Aspen trip back a day.

Door to door planning

Tell Disco where you’re leaving from and where you’re going — addresses, cities, or landmarks, not ICAO codes. Disco picks the right airports for your aircraft, inserts fuel stops, and accounts for ground transportation so you see the full door-to-door time, not just block.

Address → airport selection — runway length, customs availability, and FBO options factored in
Automatic fuel stops sized to your aircraft, route, and payload
Ground legs included — departure drive + arrival drive in the trip total
Multi-stop itineraries: "Aspen to Tulsa to Kissimmee to Marathon Key"
One natural-language prompt: "Plan a trip from my house in Aspen to the Four Seasons in Nevis next Thursday for two passengers on N555DC"

// What the user says: "Get me from Aspen to Sint Maarten Thursday morning. Two passengers. N555DC." // What Disco builds: Drive 15 min Home → KASE Leg 1 2:45 KASE → KFLL (fuel stop) Ground 0:45 Fuel + customs Leg 2 2:30 KFLL → TNCM Drive 20 min TNCM → Hotel Total 7:15 door to door

Route and Stop Planning

Get real route options between any two airports and let Disco figure out where to stop for fuel. Preferred routes, historically filed routes, airway suggestions, and automatic fuel-stop planning so you don't hand-pick intermediate airports from memory.

Preferred and historically filed routes between any pair
Airway-based routing suggestions
Automatic fuel-stop planning for out-of-range legs
Per-segment wind analysis at cruise altitude
Fuel burn, block time, and distance from Dispatch performance

$ disco routes +from KDEN +to KJFK # Preferred, filed, and suggested routes $ disco winds +route "KDEN..DBL.J80.JHW..KJFK" +alt FL350 # Wind component per segment, GS, time, fuel // Or just ask OpenClaw: > What’s the best route from KDEN to KJFK in a CJ3? > Pick a fuel stop between Aspen and Sint Maarten. > Compare FL370 and FL410 winds for this trip.

Weather and NOTAM Lookup

METARs, TAFs, area forecast discussions, PIREPs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, a 7-day hourly outlook, and time-filtered NOTAMs — in one CLI surface. Time-aware queries return the right TAF period or active NOTAM set for the moment you actually care about.

METAR / TAF / brief / forecast at any airport
PIREPs — turbulence, icing, ride reports along your route
Area Forecast Discussions — the human-written synopsis
NOTAMs filtered by airport, route, and active-at-time window
Time-aware: “weather at KASE at 9am tomorrow” returns the TAF period covering 9am

$ disco weather brief KDEN # METAR + TAF + 7-day forecast in one call $ disco notams KASE KDEN --at "tomorrow 9am" # NOTAMs active at 9am tomorrow at both airports // Or just ask OpenClaw: > What’s the weather at KASE at 9am tomorrow? > Brief me on weather for tomorrow’s flight. > Any NOTAMs at KJFK that affect my arrival? > PIREPs for icing on the route to Naples?

Manage Crew and Passengers

Assign crew, build a reusable passenger roster with passports and addresses, and keep manifests in sync with Dispatch. Perfect for Part 91 operators flying the same people over and over.

List and assign crew members (PIC, SIC, cabin crew)
Persistent passenger roster with DOB, weight, passport, and address data
Per-flight weight-and-balance manifest for one-off weights
Passenger readiness check — domestic or international
FBO / handler lookup with services, hours, and fuel info

$ disco passenger add --first Alex --last Reed --weight 200 # Adds Alex to the roster, returns slug 'alex-reed' $ disco passenger check alex-reed --intl # Verifies passport, address, DOB for international travel // Or just ask OpenClaw: > Add Alex Reed as a passenger, 200 lbs, DOB Mar 15 1985. > Save Alex’s passport: X12345678, US, expires Jun 2030. > Is Alex ready for an international trip? > Set Smith as PIC and Jones as SIC on tomorrow’s flight.

Trip Checklists and Sheets

Disco keeps a trip sheet for every flight — a living document that ties together the flight legs, passengers, crew, and all the logistics that need to happen before wheels up. Each trip also gets a checklist that guides the AI (and you) through what's left to coordinate, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Auto-generated trip sheet for every flight or multi-leg itinerary
Checklists tailored by trip type — domestic, charter 135, or international
AI reads the checklist to know what to work on next (passports, eAPIS, customs handler, gen dec)
disco trip check runs the checklist and reports OK / WARN / FAIL / PENDING for every item
Exportable as .md, .html, and .pdf for sharing with crew, passengers, or your ops team
Scheduled monitoring runs trip check every 15 minutes until departure and alerts you if anything regresses

$ disco trip check 20260415-ie8a Trip Check: FAIL OK: 3 | Warn: 0 | Fail: 1 | Pending: 7 ✓ Flights in Dispatch — 2 legs ✓ Passenger manifest — 2 passengers ✓ Alex Reed — passport ✗ Alex Reed — abroad address … eAPIS filing — Not filed … Customs handler — Not arranged // Or just ask OpenClaw: > What’s the status of the St. Martin trip? > What’s left to do on trip 20260415? > Watch this trip and alert me if anything regresses. > Send me the trip sheet as a PDF.

Capabilities

Helpful tools for planning flights and logistics.

A unified aviation data layer that works for pilots, dispatchers, and AI agents.

Talks straight to ForeFlight Dispatch

Disco creates, edits, releases, and reshapes flights in your operator account — the way a dispatcher would, but agent-friendly and JSON-first.

✈️

Create & edit flights

disco flight create / disco flight update. Set route, ETD, altitude, tail, callsign, tags. JSON-first so agents can parse the result; --text when a human is reading.

🔁

Reschedule entire chains

/chain shift and /resched. Move a multi-leg trip to a new ETD; turn times cascade through every leg and the table re-renders with the new times in context.

📄

Trip sheets, end-to-end

disco trip plan builds the legs, the sheet, and the paperwork checklist in one call. disco trip check rolls flights, passengers, eAPIS, gen dec, and customs handler into a single pass/fail.

👤

Crew & passengers

Assign PIC/SIC and cabin crew, manage per-flight manifests for weight-and-balance, or build a reusable passenger roster (passport, address, DOB) for international filings.

🧩

Reshape & reuse

Copy a span to a new date with /flights copy, split one trip into two with /flights split, save and re-apply trip recipes with /templates. Recurring trips become boring.

📊

Performance, release, files

Live performance numbers from Dispatch on every edit, one-call flight release, and /files to attach customs decals or gen dec scans directly to the flight.
