Built in Switzerland
Every launch, briefed.Every flight, debriefed.
Everyone has the forecast. What it means for the day, and how it sits against your own flying, is the hard part.
Before you launch · Briefing
Forecasts hand you numbers. Paraguide hands you the day they add up to.
The models, the stations and every flight you have made here, put through one engine: what the day becomes hour by hour, how it sits against your own flying, and the lesson underneath it.

Everyone else draws you a chart. This writes you the day.
One engine, reading every source together.
- The model hour by hour, the station on the hill measured now, and the pressure across the Alps, read against the launch itself.
- Out comes the day in a sentence, the numbers it was computed from, and the hour to go with the hour to be down.
- Every daylight hour is marked in or out, with the word for why, and it never invents a number.

The only briefing that knows what you have flown here.
Your own numbers, not an average.
- The wind the station measured at the hour you launched, for every flight you have made here.
- Your climbs and your drift, read off your own tracks rather than off a model.
- Today lands on each range, marked familiar or new territory.

Right · why
Past 4 hPa the föhn reaches the valley floors, hard and suddenly. That is a day to watch from the ground, and the week shows it coming four days out.
The only forecast that teaches you the sky.
A weather station leaves you to it. This teaches.
- Press Learn on any chart and it asks you a question about today's own numbers.
- Then it answers it, and says what that means for a flight from this launch.
- The same ground the Swiss theory exam covers, taught on the air you are about to fly in.

What people say
The big brother of the Kode P. It packs down half the size of most other B+ wings, inflates with very little pull, and turns on minimal input.

FAQ
Straight answers.
01Who is Paraguide for?
Pilots who keep their tracklogs. Whether that's ten years of XContest history or your first season, Paraguide turns them into a logbook that knows your flying, and every flight you add sharpens the picture.
02Is it really free?
Yes. Your logbook, every flight, the 3D replays, the Briefing, the read of every flight, your wings with their service clocks, your Wrapped: all free, no card, nothing locked. The only limit anywhere is Ask, at 3 questions a day.
03How will you make money?
Not from what you are using. Everything on Paraguide today is free and stays that way. What is coming is bigger: the collective view, what pilots fly where you are heading, how your wing measures up across the fleet, flights shared by people who have flown there. That is where a paid tier will eventually sit.
04I already log on XContest. Why move?
Don't move. Sync. XContest is the league; Paraguide is the debrief. Import your XContest history in one zip and every flight arrives read, your league account untouched.
05Do I have to upload every flight by hand?
No files and no retyping. Connect FlySkyHy or XCTrack to Paraguide once, and after a flight it's one tap in the app to send it over: the flight arrives with its track, site and stats. Any IGC file from any instrument works too.
06Does it track my gear?
Every wing you fly gets its own page, built from your logbook: hours and kilometres, the maker's own service intervals counting down, trim reminders, and your review when you're ready to give it.
07What happens to my flights?
Your flights help build the engine: we learn from how pilots fly, not who they are. Your name is never shown or shared. You can opt out of the shared analysis and still use everything, and delete your data anytime.
08Is Paraguide live?
Yes: the logbook is live and free on the web today, and the iPhone app is in review with Apple. Sign up on the web and your account carries straight into the app the day it lands. We call it a beta because the reads are still being honed with a first cohort of pilots and real instructors, and pilots flying with us now get a say in what we build next.
