About this app

The summit is just the beginning. Welcome to Hike & Fly Vario by theFlightVario - the essential paragliding flight instrument designed specifically for hike & fly enthusiasts and local pilots.

When you don't need complex cross-country routing, dense airspace maps, or thermal visualizations, this app delivers exactly what you need to catch local lift, extend your flight and simply enjoy being in the air.

🎨 BIG, BOLD, CUSTOMIZABLE COCKPIT
Keep your eyes on the scenery, not your screen. Hike & Fly Vario uses big, high-contrast tiles so you can read the relevant information at a single glance. The interface is 100% customizable - you can easily build any layout featuring your altitude, glide ratio, and wind compass, or drag and drop your further tiles to create your perfect minimalist flight deck.

🚀 NEXT-GENERATION VARIO ENGINE
Powered by the exact same high-end Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) technology as our flagship XC Vario app, delivering uncompromising zero-lag performance.
AI Sense V3 - IMU Technology: High-end precision with outstanding location accuracy directly from your smartphone's internal sensors.
Zero-Lag Audio: What you hear is what you feel. Instant, intuitive acoustic feedback for centering local lift.
Background Mode: Save maximum battery on long hikes or extended flights by running the vario continuously with your screen turned off.

🧭 ESSENTIAL FLIGHT DATA
No map downloads, no visual clutter. Just the pure metrics you need to fly safely and efficiently.
Live Wind & Speed: Dual Rate GNSS provides rapid, highly accurate wind direction, ground speed, and true airspeed (TAS).
Performance Metrics: Instantly monitor your Glide Ratio, G-Force, MSL Altitude, and flight duration in real-time.

📡 LIVE TRACKING & BLUETOOTH
PureTrack & SafeSky Integration: Broadcast your location for Live Tracking and vastly improve situational awareness with real-time traffic data.
Bluetooth Support: Easily connect to external BLE varios (BlueFly, MipBip, XC Tracer, FlyBeeper) if you prefer a hybrid setup, or use standard NMEA/LK8EX1 protocols.

📖 AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGGING
IGC & KML Logs: Keep a record of your hike & fly adventures logged automatically in one convenient place.
Valid G-Record: Secured with a valid G-record for official claims-just in case you end up flying much further than planned!
