## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability aviationstack-airplanes-c8cb8d77
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the airplane with registration number N123456 and tell me its type, airline, and any manufacturing details you can find?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up specific aircraft details by registration number (tail number) or search the airplane database. Prefer over the Airlines or Flights endpoints when the primary entity of interest is the physical aircraft itself rather than a flight or airline.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown registration number returns empty results
- Missing required parameters may return an error or empty dataset
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short period
- Truncated response if result set is very large
- Network timeout for slow upstream data source
