Wingman is a set of tools to help you plan and analyse paraglider flights in the UK. It's basically all the stuff I wanted to see about UK XC flights, wrapped up in an app so you can play with it too.

Wingman is in Beta and being continuously developed. If you spot any problems, please contact me

Data Sources

Past flights are from xcleague.com

The sites database is also built from xcleague.com with extensive clean-up because the XC League allows free text entry

Weather forecasts come from Met Office Datapoint

Airspace is from Soaring Web

WARNING: Airspace is not updated automatically while Wingman is in Beta. As pilot in command, you are solely responsible for flying with up to date maps and staying out of controlled airspace.

How do I fly further?

Simon Blake has written a book, ' Prepare to Fly ', which among many other useful tips, explains how to use Wingman's flight browser to work out how to go further.
