Vulture
Jelle Vandebeeck
Vulture is a soaring planning and analysis app built for glider pilots. Plan a task on the day, fly it with live airspace and weather, then replay every thermal back on the airfield — no laptop required. Plan * Build a task from waypoints, or import one from a CUP file, WeGlide, or SoaringSpot. * Edit any task to fit the weather of the day, with custom observation zones per turnpoint. * Check the day with the SkySight weather integration before you commit to a task. * Export a task to CUP or FLARM declaration files for your IGC-approved device, or share a FLARM declaration straight from the settings. * Import OpenAir and openAIP airspace, or pull predefined sets from XCSoar or the openAIP server, so every task respects the airspace around it. Fly * See airspace and optimized flight information in the air, and navigate to any waypoint. * Look up the nearest airfield and its frequency, provided by OurAirports. * Long-press the map to glance at the airspace layers around you. Analyze * Replay one or more flights with a barograph and detailed statistics as you scrub through them. * Drag the graph handle for a calculated wind estimate at any point in a flight. * Dig into thermal analytics to see where you gained — or lost — time and height. * Review optimized distance, release point, maximum altitude, and much more. * Add searchable remarks to saved flights, mark contests, and keep your favorites. * Upload flights to SkyLines, WeGlide, SoaringSpot, SoaringLab, or Charron without leaving the app. Everywhere * Sync flights, tasks, waypoints, and airspace across your devices with iCloud. * Import flights by drag and drop, from Files, or straight from the share sheet. * Preview flight and waypoint files in Files before you import them. * Find flights and tasks from Spotlight on your home screen. * Keep an eye on conditions with a widget fed by the METAR station nearest your home base. * Hardware keyboard shortcuts, pointer support, and dark mode included. Try every feature free during the trial. Keep flying with Vulture by choosing a subscription plan whenever you're ready. Tell us how we can make Vulture better.
