Build a task on the map turnpoint by turnpoint, or bring one in from WeGlide, a CUP file, or the QR code on the briefing screen.
Overlay SkySight's thermal, wind, cloud and wave forecasts on the planning map, and step through the day from 06:00 to 20:00 half hour by half hour.
Export as a CUP, LXNAV Nano, or flarmcfg file, or declare the task straight to a paired FLARM, LXNAV, or Xctracer over Bluetooth.
Every feature Vulture has, in one list.
Scrub the barograph and the clouds move with you, at the ten-minute steps SkySight publishes them in. See the sky you actually flew through, not the one you remember.
Vulture works out optimised distance, height gain, longest leg, soaring duration and airspace infringements from your track.
Open an IGC file, or download flights from WeGlide, SkyLines, Soaring Spot, or Charron. Competition flights arrive with the day's task already applied.
Every feature Vulture has, in one list.
Recording starts on its own once you accelerate, and writes a standard IGC file when you land. Flights sync to your other Apple devices through iCloud.
A live map with your position, your airspace and your waypoints. Long-press anywhere to see what is overhead, with its class, altitude limits and radio frequency.
Pick any waypoint from your files for distance and bearing. With a task declared you also get your current glide ratio and the one you need to make it.
Every feature Vulture has, in one list.
Import your own airspace and waypoint files, or download them from openAIP and the XCSoar repository. Vulture picks up newer versions on its own.
Flights, tasks, waypoints, airspace files and settings sync through iCloud, so what you set up on the iPad is waiting on the iPhone.
Upload to WeGlide, SkyLines, Soaring Spot, or Charron from the device you landed with. No laptop, no cable.
