Aviation Intelligence
Aviation Intelligence (AI) Search Engine
Semantic search across aviation regulations, NOTAMs, safety data, and Cignus knowledge base — powered by RAG and vector embeddings.
Aviation answers are spread across regulations, NOTAMs, safety data, and years of program documents. Aviation Intelligence Search finds them by meaning, not just keywords.
It uses semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation over aviation sources and the Cignus knowledge base, returning structured results with their sources.
Capabilities
Search aviation by meaning
Semantic search
Vector embeddings match questions to relevant passages even when the words differ.
Regulations
Search across aviation regulations and guidance.
NOTAMs and safety data
Operational notices and safety records alongside documents.
Grounded answers
Retrieval-augmented generation answers from retrieved sources and shows them.
Architecture
How it works
1 · Index
Documents and records are chunked, embedded, and stored in a vector index on Helios.
2 · Retrieve
A query is embedded and matched against the index, filtered by the caller’s access.
3 · Answer
Results are returned as structured hits, optionally summarized with citations.

FAQ
Common questions
How is access controlled?
By role, at the API layer. Every request to Helios passes through interceptors that check the caller’s role and scope before any data is returned, so the same rules apply whether the request comes from the application, an API client, or an integration. Nothing is governed inside the application itself.
