The Problem

After Every Flight, You Have Questions

Most pilots land not knowing what went right and what went wrong. Without data, improvement is guesswork.

🌀

"Was that thermal actually good?"

⬆️

"Did I leave climbs too early?"

📐

"Was my glide efficient?"

👁️

"Did I miss thermals along track?"

📊

"Why did other pilots climb better?"

⚠️

"Was my landing approach risky?"

Features

Learn From the Best. Fix What Matters.

Six powerful analysis modules from a single IGC upload — including the ability to benchmark your flight against any pilot in the world.

Pilot Benchmark

Learn from any pilot in the world. Upload IGC files alongside your own and compare thermal selection, glide efficiency, and climb rates side-by-side. Benchmark against your group flight, regional champions, or world record holders — the gap analysis shows you exactly where the best pilots make the difference.

Thermal Analysis

Understand how well you centered thermals and how strong they were. Compare centering quality, climb rates, and time-in-core across every thermal in your flight.

Glide Efficiency

Analyze glide ratios and speed decisions between thermals. See where you lost height unnecessarily and how adjusting your speed could improve performance.

Missed Thermals

Detect lift you flew past. Parametrics identifies potential thermals along your track that you didn't use, so you can train yourself to recognize them earlier.

Risk Metrics

Identify dangerous low saves and risky decisions in your flight. Understand when you were flying close to limits and what patterns to watch out for.

Coaching Summary

Automated insights explaining how you can improve. Receive a readable summary highlighting your strongest moments and where the most gains are available.
