# Aircraft a pilot may switch to for a bid

`GET /flights/bookings/{bid}/aircraft`

Aircraft eligible for this bid's flight, narrowed server-side by the VA's rank / typerating / location / booking rules (the reference module reuses `FlightService::filterSubfleets`). The Stratos client renders this as a dropdown on the booking card when the `allow_aircraft_changes` airline setting is on. `changeable` is false when the authenticated pilot has their own SimBrief OFP for this flight — the lock is per-pilot, so another pilot's OFP does not affect it.

## Path parameters

- `bid` integer, required

## Response `200`

Eligible aircraft for the bid.

- EligibleAircraftResponse
  - `changeable` boolean, required — False when the authenticated pilot has their own SimBrief OFP for this flight, in which case `aircraft` is empty and the client shows static text.
  - `aircraft` EligibleAircraft[], required
    - `id` integer, required — Aircraft ID to send to /flights/change-aircraft.
    - `name` string, required
    - `registration` string, required
    - `icao` string, required
    - `subfleet` string, required — Subfleet type, for grouping/labelling.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid Bearer token.
- `403` — The bid does not belong to the authenticated pilot.
- `404` — Bid not found.
