Built for the flight you’re planning

Three tools, free to use, built from the same data and coaching Skyout runs its tours on — three years of real XContest conditions for Piedechinche and Roldanillo, the speed-to-fly math for the glide in front of you, and an honest look at the climbs you left.

One flight, three decisions

    MacCready Speed-to-Fly Calculator

    Set your wing and the air you’re flying through, and get the airspeed that loses the least time on the way to your next climb. The glide curves come from digitized manufacturer polar data, not estimates.

    • Digitized glide polars
    • Sink & headwind inputs
    • Works on a phone

    Flight Analysis

    Upload the IGC from your last XC flight and see every thermal you chose to leave, marked against four different ways of judging that call — the whole day’s average, a trailing time window, everything up to that point, or that climb on its own.

    • IGC upload
    • 4 comparison modes
    • Nothing stored

The tools are the easy part

Reading the day, picking the line, and knowing when to leave a climb is what our guides coach in the air. Come fly the valley with us.
