NOTICE

This bot has been taken offline indefinitely due to hardware issues on my end. I used to run this bot straight off my computer, which wasn't really an issue for several years. However, I'm no longer able to keep a computer running 24/7 in my current situation. Right now, I've moved my bots to cloud-based machines, but I can't afford much, and I run multiple bots on the same machine, so the hardware limitations are pretty significant. PilotBot used to run okay-ish on the VMs I have at my disposal, but it started breaking down a lot out of seemingly nowhere. Coupled with the fact that its performance was really poor (likely due to the fact that this bot was written while I was still a retard at JavaScript), it made running this bot something really annoying to do.

I've slated a rewrite of this bot's code for some point in the future. When? I'm not really sure. This bot (and my others) are personal projects, so if I don't feel like working on it, then I don't feel like working on it. I won't try to come up with a better excuse to try to cover my ass since anything short of the truth is patronizing toward end users. Anyway, for now, PilotBot is offline and staying offline until I can write a better version of the bot that will play more nicely with machines with limited performance.

The content below will be kept for informational purposes and so it can be reused in the event the situation changes and I can run this bot once more.

PilotBot, the Discord bot for aviation enthusiasts.

PilotBot's features include:
1. Retrieve live METAR reports for any airport with METAR reporting - each report comes both in raw and decoded format, so everyone can read it!
2. Need to do some quick aviation-related math conversions? PilotBot can do that for you!
3. Not sure if an ICAO airport code is valid? Ask PilotBot if it's real, and it will return the name and location of the airport!
4. Living not in Europe and you need to know what the current Zulu time and date is? PilotBot can give you the current Zulu time and date at the moment you ask him!

More features are on the way! Join our official server for support, to give feedback, and to check out new features in action as they are being developed before they're pushed to the main bot!

Originally developed for the Flight Simulation and Aviation Discord.
