Features
Learn From the Best. Fix What Matters.
Upload your group's flights and see exactly where the difference is made — thermal by thermal, glide by glide, decision by decision.
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.
Performance Analyst
A data interpretation for every analysis page — thermal efficiency, glide, safety, landing, and task. Each summary is grounded in your actual flight metrics, cited against the reference pilot or group.
How It Works
Three Steps to Flying Like the Best
Upload Your Group's Flights
Add your IGC file alongside any pilots you want to compare — your club mates who flew the same day, a regional champion, or a world record holder. Any IGC file works.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Parametrics overlays every flight — thermals used, glide lines taken, altitudes at each decision point. You see exactly where your paths diverged and who made the better call.
Close the Gap
Get a Performance Analyst summary that names the exact moments where the benchmark pilot gained altitude on you — cited from the specific metrics in that session. No guesswork, just data.
