Grabs the current edition.
pip install faa-tpp
Initialize as so:
from faa_tpp import ParsedTPP
ptpp = ParsedTPP()
Get cycle data. Returns a dictionary:
ptpp.return_cycle_info()
Will return a dict something like:
{
"cycle": "1811",
"cycle_start": "2018-10-11T09:01:00+00:00",
"cycle_end": "2018-11-08T09:01:00+00:00"
}
Cycle times given in ISO 8601 format.
Get the front matter:
# Just the URI
ptpp.return_front_matter()
# Get the actual PDF data
ptpp.return_front_matter(return_pdf=True)
Get a list of Airport objects for a given state code:
mi_airports = ptpp.return_state_airports('MI')
Get a dict of Airport objects, keyed by FAA identifier:
airport_dict = ptpp.return_dict()
ozw = airport_dict['OZW'] # Capitalized
See the available records (IAPs, Minimums, diagrams, etc):
ozw.list_available_records()
Will print something like:
[0] (MIN) TAKEOFF MINIMUMS
[1] (MIN) ALTERNATE MINIMUMS
[2] (STAR) CRUXX SIX
[3] (STAR) FOREY ONE (RNAV)
[4] (STAR) LLEEO TWO
[5] (STAR) OKLND ONE (RNAV)
[6] (STAR) PETTE ONE (RNAV)
[7] (STAR) RRALF ONE (RNAV)
[8] (IAP) ILS OR LOC RWY 13
[9] (IAP) RNAV (GPS) RWY 13
[10] (IAP) RNAV (GPS) RWY 31
[11] (DP) BARII ONE (RNAV)
[12] (DP) CCOBB ONE (RNAV)
[13] (DP) CLVIN ONE (RNAV)
[14] (DP) HHOWE ONE (RNAV)
[15] (DP) KAYLN ONE (RNAV)
[16] (DP) LIDDS ONE (RNAV)
[17] (DP) MIGGY ONE (RNAV)
[18] (DP) PAVYL ONE (RNAV)
[19] (DP) SNDRS ONE (RNAV)
[20] (DP) TRMML ONE (RNAV)
[21] (DP) ZETTR ONE (RNAV)
The number in the square brackets indicates the index.
Grab a record:
ils_13 = ozw.records[8]
Get the URI for the PDF:
pdf_uri = ils_13.get_pdf_uri()
Get the actual PDF data:
pdf_data = ils_13.get_pdf()
