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, CUB, and openAIP airspace files, pull predefined sets from XCSoar, or show OpenAIP airspace directly on the map as a live vector layer — 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.
* Compare flights side by side with leader/leecher analysis — see who found thermals first, who waited, and who flew independently.
* 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.
