BEACON A.I.
Talk to an aircraft from your AI.
BEACON connects ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants to private aircraft whose owners chose to publish. Ask about a tail number, price a trip, or reach the owner from the chat.
No account and no login.
Add the connector once. Each aircraft's owner decides what BEACON may say about it, and nothing else is shared.
What you can ask
Six tools, one aircraft at a time.
Ask in your own words. Your assistant picks the tool, and every answer is about one tail number its owner chose to publish.
02
Price a trip
An approximate total for a route, worked out from the owner's own numbers, and whether a date is free when the owner shares a live schedule.

Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name it BEACON, paste the connector address and save. There is no login. Then ask about a tail number in a new chat.

No connector at all
Any assistant that reads the web can use an aircraft's page, for example owners.virtualhangar.com/N864BF, and hand you its Request a trip or Send an inquiry link.
What a request collects, who receives it and how long it is kept is in our privacy policy. Use of the service is under our terms.

What BEACON never does.
No bookings or payments
BEACON never books a flight, holds an aircraft or takes a payment. Any flight is arranged and operated by a certificated operator.
No binding prices
Every figure is approximate, and the booking contact confirms the price.
Only what the owner approved
No asking price is ever published, and nothing the owner kept private.
Nothing sent before you confirm
A request waits until you click the confirmation link we email you.
