Skybase: Paragliding

Kayo261

About this app

Skybase is a paragliding companion: decide if, when and where to fly - then fly with a real instrument and log it. Offline-first, no account, no ads.

NEW - SHARE A FLIGHT AS A WEB LINK
Send friends and family a link to any flight. They watch your track replay with your stats right in their browser - no app, no account needed. Stop sharing whenever you like.

THE TOOLS THAT KEEP YOU ALIVE ARE FREE - FOREVER
Glide-to-nearest-LZ, manual SOS and the overdue-landing alert will never move behind a paywall.

BEFORE YOU FLY
- Per-site go/no-go score (0-100), tuned to your skill level
- Wind now plus an 18-hour strip, and nearby live wind stations
- Thermal forecast: when it switches on, peak, when it dies, overdevelopment risk
- Wind-aloft sounding and thermal-trigger hints on a terrain map
- A thermal forecast that learns from your own logged flights
- Hike and fly planner, and a best-window with a hard daylight gate
- Airspace: import an OpenAIR file or fetch a whole country in one tap

IN THE AIR
- GPS and barometer fused vario with audio (pitch and cadence)
- Sun-readable display, background IGC recording, customisable readout bar
- Topographic moving map with heading-up follow
- Thermal assistant: a drift-compensated core arrow and circle
- Final-glide reach cone and a nearest-LZ readout
- GOTO targets and XC route navigation (import .xctsk / .cup tasks)
- Live XC scoring as you fly
- Airspace warnings escalate with colour, glyph and haptics

AFTER YOU LAND
- Logbook with career stats and milestone achievements
- 3D terrain replay: your track floats at true altitude and draws itself as it flew
- Plain-language debrief: climbing time, coring quality, glide performance
- Per-wing glide polar, measured from your own tracks
- Trim flight time, or start the clock automatically when you launch
- One-tap upload to a Leonardo XC league; IGC import and export
- Recover a flight that did not save, or log one by hand

SAFETY
- Overdue-landing alert that survives the app being closed
- SOS and overdue: one tap to text or call your contact with your last position
- Opt-in auto-alert dead-man's-switch, emergency contact, pre-flight checklist and reserve repack reminders

PRIVACY
Your flights, sites and gear live on your phone. No account, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Anything that leaves the device - live tracking, buddy sharing, a site report you post - is opt-in and off by default.

HONEST LIMITS
Skybase is decision support, not a clearance. Scores and forecasts are estimates. Airspace out of date - carry current charts and always make your own go/no-go call. Traffic alerts see only other Skybase pilots who are sharing, not real air traffic.

What’s new

Vario, weather, XC & logbook — plus one-tap trim of the pre-launch ground wait, and an optional auto-start that begins the flight clock when you launch.
