About

Swoop

Features
Read full description

Swoop is a logbook and analysis tool for canopy pilots who fly with a FlySight GPS. Upload your FlySight tracks and Swoop turns raw GPS data into a clear picture of your landing: every jump is split into flight phases, plotted on a satellite map, and charted over time so you can see exactly what happened from turn initiation to the end of your rollout. TRACK LIBRARY • All your jumps in one place, with thumbnails of the flight path • Nickname and number your jumps, and delete the ones you don't need PHASE-BY-PHASE ANALYSIS • Automatic detection of exit, opening, surge, turn and rollout • Key numbers for every swoop: entry gate speed, turn height, rotation, rollout altitude, swoop distance, max speed and max vertical speed • Total, horizontal and vertical speed charted against altitude (AGL) • Scrub through the flight and watch the telemetry update in real time • Sort your library by date, speed, swoop distance or rotation to see how you're progressing MAPS & PONDS • Flight paths drawn on satellite imagery • A shared database of swoop ponds and landing areas, so your track is shown relative to the gates UPLOAD FROM ANYWHERE • Upload FlySight CSV files directly from your phone or the web • Your tracks sync between the app and swoop.loggbok.net PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tracks are visible only to you. No ads, no tracking. Swoop is a post-jump review and training tool. It is not a safety device and must not be used for in-flight decisions.

ExitPoint Skydiving: The skydiver's toolkit. I've been skydiving for almost 20 years, and ExitPoint Skydiving grew out of me wanting a more precise way to calculate cross country jumps. Then it grew some more... It's completely free, with no login required to use it. What's inside: Canopy Size Calculator: See what canopies you can legally jump today, and how many more jumps you need before a certain size, across multiple national rulesets (USPA, Sweden, France, Australia, and more). Wing Loading Calculator: A quick lookup to figure out your wingload. Canopy XC: Plan your exit point for cross-country canopy flights, with live wind data and glide calculations. Flying Blind: Find your way back to the landing zone fast, in poor visibility, with no planning required. Find My Main: Estimate where your cutaway main landed after a reserve ride, using current winds. Jump Run Separation: Calculate safe exit separation based on wind, ground speed, and group type. Find a Drop Zone or Wind Tunnel: A worldwide map of skydiving dropzones, wind tunnels, wingsuit tunnels, riggers, and gear stores. Event Calendar: Discover skydiving boogies, competitions, courses, and demos worldwide. I'm still building. If you have feedback or a tool idea, there's a feedback form built right into the app; I read every submission myself. You can also submit events, drop zones etc. The app becomes better with the community. Blue skies.
