This software provides pre-flight planning tools for glider pilots. It assists pilots in creating safe and efficient flight plans, taking into account weather conditions, airspace restrictions, and other factors.
Glideplan is a fantastic software designed to make it easy for glider pilots to plan and explore cross country flights right from their desktop. With the use of current Sectionals for the entire US, GlidePlan creates graphic overlays that mimics traditional map marking techniques to give users a comprehensive picture of their flight.
One of its most impressive features is its automatic contoured lines of glide elevation, which allows pilots to intuitively plan their flights and explore the impact of arrival altitude and glider performance on goals or tasks. This function makes it an ideal software for instructors and students learning cross country techniques.
GlidePlan is also equipped with an automatic evaluation system for tasks that complies with FAI badge compliance. It comes with diagnostics and outputs printed maps at Sectional scale with automatic map legends, saving users the trouble of marking up Sectionals by hand. All in all, GlidePlan is an excellent software that delivers comprehensive results effectively and efficiently.
