Updraft: Glider Training

Record, replay, and practise

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

You can solo a glider at 14, before you can drive. Updraft logs every flight with just your phone, then shows you what to fly better next time. Free to record, always. You can fly a glider solo at 14 — years before you can drive. Updraft is the logbook and coach for everyone learning to. Put your phone on the coaming and press Record. Updraft finds your launch and landing by itself, so there is nothing to remember while you fly. When you land, you get the whole flight back: how high you got, what every climb was worth, and how your circuit compared to the last one you flew. No vario to buy. No wiring. No signal needed — every airfield is already on your phone. FREE, AND STAYS FREE • Unlimited recording. Never capped, never blocked, never on a trial timer • Height, ground speed and climb rate while you fly • Your flight path and a summary the moment you land • The IGC flight file for anything you fly — yours to keep and share • Today's soaring conditions at your home field UPDRAFT PRO • The full instrument panel, whole logbook, replay over real terrain and three-day soaring forecast • Instructor debrief and thermalling coach, processed on your phone UPDRAFT MAX • Everything in Pro, plus the advisory live in-flight layer, full audio vario and video share card Subscriptions are optional. They renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple Account subscription settings. You can change plans or cancel in Updraft under Customize > Account and plan. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO Updraft uses the sensors in your phone. It shows ground speed, not airspeed. It is not a certified instrument and must never be used to fly the aircraft. Look outside and follow your instructor. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://dogeking69.github.io/updraft-app/privacy.html
