About this app

The Paragliding App - Your Complete 4-in-1 Free Flight Companion

The ultimate FREE and open source flight management solution designed by pilots, for pilots. The Paragliding App delivers four essential tools in one package: comprehensive flight logging, immersive 3D flight replay, intelligent site map with real-time forecasts for flyability, and airspace overlays.

🎯 THE 4-IN-1 ADVANTAGE

1. Professional Flight Logbook
Track every adventure with your digital logbook. Import IGC files seamlessly from XCTrack, Flytec, or any flight instrument that exports IGC files. Analyze performance metrics including climb rates, glide ratios, altitude profiles, and thermal. Your complete flight history at your fingertips - duration, distance, max altitude, and integrated climb/sink statistics.

2. Immersive 3D Flight Visualization
Relive your flights with 3D fly-through. Watch your track from any angle, follow your path through thermals, and share visualizations with fellow pilots. Perfect for debriefing, learning, and sharing your best moments.

3. Site Map with Flyability Forecasting
Discover flying sites worldwide. Access detailed site information including launch coordinates, launch directions, and local hazards. Wind speed and direction forecast with flyability assessment helps you decide where to fly based on forecast conditions. Find a nearby weather station (AWC, US NWS, PiouPiou and FFVL) to check the forecast. Track your personal site statistics and discover new flying locations wherever you travel.

4. Airspace Awareness
Stay safe and legal with integrated airspace data. Visualize controlled airspace, danger areas, and restricted zones directly on the site map. Essential for cross-country pilots and anyone flying near airports or sensitive areas. Overlay your flight tracks to verify airspace compliance and plan future routes responsibly.
