Free-flight academy
Full educational guide at two levels: friendly for beginners, technical for pilots. Thermals, aerodynamics, clouds, wind, competition.
From the briefing to takeoff.
Everything an expert pilot looks at before flying, in one place. Thermal forecast, multi-altitude wind, professional meteorology and precise location.
01
Real thermals
Over 15,000 thermal hotspots aggregated from millions of IGC flights worldwide, with probability and altitude per point.
02
Multi-altitude wind
Hourly forecast at 10 m, 80 m, 850 hPa and 700 hPa. Detects vertical shear and warns of dangerous rotor.
03
Professional meteorology
CAPE, Lifted Index (LI), boundary layer height, cloud base, cloud suck, overdevelopment. Indicators that pro pilots use.
04
Thermal window
Trigger time and cutoff calculated per site. You know exactly when convection starts and ends each day.
05
Ridge lift score
Analyzes wind perpendicular to the declared takeoff orientation. Predicts dynamic ridge flight hour by hour.
06
Sounding & vertical wind
Estimated vertical profile with detected inversions, plus wind × altitude × time 72h matrix. Meteorologist-level language.
