eaip-lib

eaip-lib is a raw-python library used for accessing the NATS eAIP (Aeronautical Information Package) via a clean, fast and efficient API.

The library is capable of searching for the most recent eAIP and then extracting data and providing access via a clean & powerful Python API. Alternatively the release date of any eAIP release can be provided.

Python3.8 & asyncio support is built-in.

File system caching built-in for rapid access to eAIP and reduced bandwidth.

Example Usage

Print all Airfields ICAO code and their runways from most recent eAIP.

import asyncio, eaip

async def main():
    async for airfield in eaip.get_airfields_iter():
        print({
            'icao': airfield.icao,
            'runways': airfield.runways
        })

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

Get Airfield radios with ICAO code EGKK (Gatwick) from eAIP release 10/09/2020.

import asyncio, eaip, datetime

async def main():
    airfield = await eaip.get_airfield('EGKK', datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 9))
    print(airfield.radios)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())
