Parakiter walks with you through every stage of a flying day — from the first sign that conditions are coming good, to keeping in touch with the pilots you met when you packed up. Built by pilots, for pilots. TAILORED FORECASTS Generic regional forecasts tell you it's "10–15 knots and westerly". Useless. Parakiter takes your wing, your weight and your personal wind window, then crunches live RASP, Open-Meteo and tidal data against YOUR setup at YOUR site. The answer it gives you is the one you actually need: today's a fly, or today's a write-off. WING SETTINGS Pick your wing, set your all-up weight, and that's it. Every forecast from then on is calibrated to your personal wind range — no mental maths at the trail head, no second-guessing whether today's a small-wing day or a big-wing day. CUSTOM ALERTS Don't want to keep checking? Tell Parakiter the conditions you want and the sites you care about, then get on with your week. When the forecast lines up, your phone buzzes — Wednesday afternoon is going to fire at your local, take the day off. Never miss a great day again. SITE FINDER Coastal dunes, ridge sites and soaring spots across the UK — with the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Portugal and Spain rolling out now. Find new sites within range of where you already go. Coastal sites have tide gates baked in, so you won't drive an hour to find your launch underwater. SESSION CHATS Who else is going? Lift to share? Where's everyone meeting? Session chats put you in a thread with every pilot planning to fly the same site that day. Pull up to the site already knowing who's there. WIND FLOW See where the lift is. See where the rotor is hiding. Our wind flow system overlays animated streamlines on satellite imagery of your site, calibrated to today's forecast wind direction and speed — a highly accurate picture of what the wind will be doing right at launch. Pick your launch point, spot the danger zones, fly with confidence. BUDDY SYSTEM First on site and don't want to wait for the others to land before you launch? Pick a buddy in the app before you go up. If you don't confirm a safe landing within 5 minutes, they get an alert with your last GPS location, your what3words address, and emergency-services guidance. Solo flying, with someone watching your back. FLIGHT LOGS You flew. The barometer noticed. By the time you've packed up, today's flight is in your logbook — takeoff, landing, full track on a map, personal bests, and a running total of your airtime. That airtime total matters: it's how you know when your wing is due a service. Your career, logging itself in the background. MEDIA GALLERIES Every shot from every site, in one place. Drop your photos and clips into the day's session chat — share with the exact pilots who were there with you. Look back on a season and remember why you do this. PILOT COMMUNITY The session ends, but the chats don't have to. Stay in touch with the pilots you met today through site groups, regional threads, or private chats with your usual crew. Build a network of pilots wherever you fly. COMING SOON Kit reviews, tutorials, classified ads, and more. Parakiter is shaped by what pilots actually ask for — so tell us what's missing. WHO IT'S FOR Every Parakite pilot, from your first flight onwards. Built by pilots, for pilots. PRIVACY AND DATA Your wind window, AUW, sessions and chats stay yours. We don't sell your data. Forecasts are computed on our infrastructure; chat is private to your group.
