WebProduct Scope
01
Advanced Flight Planner

Physics-accurate glider modeling and wind-aware route estimation.

01.01

Glider Polar Modeling

Define your glider with min-sink, best-glide and max-speed parameters. The planner uses a full quadratic polar curve to compute realistic sink rate and ground speed at any bar or brake setting.

01.02

Bar and Brake Optimization

The auto-optimizer finds the best speed-bar setting for each leg to maximize speed within your altitude budget, or selects brakes when ceiling-limited. You can override per turnpoint.

01.03

Wind-Aware Route Analysis

Inject forecast wind layers into your route. Each leg is split into sub-segments with altitude-interpolated wind vectors, computing effective glide ratio with headwind and crosswind degradation.

01.04

Advanced Turnpoint Estimation

Per-turnpoint required climb gain, departure altitude, terrain clearance check, arrival AGL, and feasibility flags when a leg cannot be achieved at the thermal ceiling.

01.05

Route Timing

Cruise speed from your polar combined with thermal climb rate yield leg-by-leg duration and ETA estimates for the full planned route.

01.06

Route Estimation Snapshot

The full analysis is saved with the flight so you can review your plan later and compare it against actual performance.

01.07

International Airspace

Airspace data has been expanded beyond a single country for cross-border route planning.

01.08

Smoother 2D/3D Transition

Improved switching between the planning map and 3D analysis view.

02
Pilot Community

A full pilot community with social feeds, photos and profiles.

02.01

Friendships

Send and accept friend requests by name search or email. A discoverability setting lets you control whether other pilots can find you.

02.02

Friends Activity Feed

See your friends' latest flights and event participations in a unified chronological feed with infinite scroll.

02.03

Flight Photos

Upload photos to your flights, set a hero image, and browse them in a lightbox. Photos appear in the feed and on your profile.

02.04

Likes and Comments

Like flights and event posts, write comments with replies, and like comments. Engage with your flying community directly from the feed.

02.05

Post Captions

Add a text caption to shared flights to give context about your flight in the feed.

02.06

Share Planned Routes

Your planned flights can appear in the feed so friends can see what you are preparing and open your route in their own planner.

02.07

Public Pilot Profiles

Each pilot gets a profile page with avatar, flight stats, a map of recent flights, and a personal feed.

02.08

Event Social Layer

Like and comment on formation day subscriptions. Event interactions appear in the community feed alongside flights.

03
Notification System

Never miss what matters, with real-time delivery.

03.01

In-App Notification Center

A full-page and dropdown view with grouped timeline, mark-read, and mark-all-read. Never miss a like, comment, or friend request.

03.02

Real-Time Delivery

Notifications arrive instantly via real-time subscription with a polling fallback. The unread badge updates live.

03.03

Social Notifications

Get notified when someone likes your flight, comments, replies to your comment, or likes your comment — for both flights and event posts.

03.04

Friend Notifications

Know when someone sends you a friend request or accepts yours.

03.05

School and Manager Notifications

Managers receive alerts for new students, pending flight validations, event subscriptions, waitlist changes, comments, and school invites.

03.06

Manager Action Alerts

Students and pilots are notified when a manager updates, cancels, or removes events, promotes from the waitlist, or validates/rejects a flight.

03.07

Welcome Notification

New users receive a welcome message on their first sign-up.

03.08

Release Notes in Notifications

New app versions surface in the notification badge so you always know when something new is available.

Shipped versions
