ParaGlideXC

Optimize your cross-country paragliding performance with ParaGlideXC, the definitive post-flight analysis tool built specifically for XC pilots. Move beyond basic track logs by combining exact GPS data with real-time atmospheric sounding profiles to accurately evaluate your thermal efficiency, glide ratios, and seasonal progress in one centralized offline-ready repository.

Key Features:
Advanced IGC Log Importing: Seamlessly upload your IGC track logs directly to populate your personal flight analytics dashboard. Automatically compute thermal climb rates, glide ratios between thermals, and overall navigational efficiency between designated task waypoints.

Side-by-Side Flight Comparison: Select two to four flights simultaneously for an in-depth, side-by-side metric review. Quickly filter and evaluate your history by Newest, Distance, Duration, or Best Climb to understand performance changes at identical launch sites.

Atmospheric Context Overlays: Utilize the integrated radiosonde converter to fetch historical sounding data for your exact flight day. Overlay critical convective layer heights and thermal index parameters directly onto your GPS track map for comprehensive debriefings.

Organized Flight Library: Catalog your logbook efficiently across specialized operational categories, including Free XC, Task, and Local flights. Easily search your entire history by site name, date, or custom pilot notes.

Seasonal Trend Tracking: Monitor your flying metrics over an entire season to spot improvement trends. Pinpoint specific tactical development areas—whether thermal hunting, speed-to-fly management, or route selection—to systematically increase your cross-country distance.

Tailored Workspace Settings: Customize your dashboard configuration to suit your local flying community. Swap seamlessly between measurement standards for Altitude (meters / feet), Distance (km / miles), and Climb Rate (m/s / ft/min), while toggling weekly debrief reminders or automated flight imports.
