Every API, one clean contract.

Live status for one flight by ident or flight number. Returns origin/destination (airport name, IATA/ICAO, gate, terminal, timezone, coordinates), scheduled / estimated / actual times for gate-out, take-off, landing and gate-in, aircraft type, airline, trip progress (percent complete, miles flown/remaining), the live position (altitude, groundspeed, heading) when airborne, and the filed flight plan.

Live ADS-B track for one airborne flight: current position plus the full position history (lat/lon/altitude/groundspeed per timestamp) FlightAware has logged for this leg. Use flight_status first to confirm the flight is airborne. For grounded / arrived flights `position` is null and `track` is whatever was logged on the ground.

Live activity board for an airport: the arrivals, departures, en-route or scheduled flights FlightAware shows for that airport. Each row gives the flight ident, aircraft type, the other airport (IATA), and the scheduled/estimated times. Feed an ident back into flight_status for full detail.
