Public records, with boundaries.

What the public API exposes

Our documented API and MCP tools expose cited signals, public disclosures and sanitized events. They do not expose raw flight-position tracks, private residences or unresolved destination predictions. Exact coordinates are removed from public event projections. Owner records marked non-public are suppressed or returned as a hidden stub.

Configured aircraft delays apply across the public event and signal surfaces, including supported streams. API access does not waive source-use restrictions. See the developer guide for the current contract.

Configured aircraft delays

This registry lists configured minimum delays for public responses. A missing registration is not a guarantee of real-time coverage, and source or processing delays may be longer.

No aircraft-specific delays are currently listed in this registry.

Request a correction or removal review

Contact @mountainhead_ai to arrange a private channel. Identify the page or record, explain the requested correction or restriction, and provide supporting evidence through that private channel. Do not post identification documents or sensitive personal information publicly.

We review requests against source accuracy, privacy and applicable obligations. A request does not guarantee removal. We may correct attribution, apply a delay or suppress an owner record as appropriate.
