From forecast to flying signal

Parra-Glideator compares the forecast with real flights to show which sites are most likely to be on.

Forecast data

The full atmospheric profile (NOAA GFS) over each site, updated every 6 hours.

Real flight patterns

An AI trained on real paragliding flights.

Flight scores

Simple scores showing where conditions look most promising.

What the score actually means

A site can be flyable, local-soarable, or properly on. The scores helps separate those.

How people actually use it

Parra-Glideator is best at helping you narrow the search, compare options quickly, and notice when a good window might be opening.

Scan the map

Get a fast read on where the interesting days seem to be. The map is there to orient you quickly, not make the final decision for you.

Compare trip options

Set your travel range and dates, then let Trip Planner compress the search space instead of manually checking half a continent.

Inspect the evidence

Open any site to dig into hourly forecasts, flight-quality distributions, seasonal patterns, and similar historical days with real XContest flights.

Keep your shortlist ready

Save the places you care about most so checking conditions feels like a quick scan, not a ritual involving twelve tabs and mild despair.

Get nudged when it matters

Set thresholds for your favorite sites and let Parra-Glideator alert you when conditions start looking interesting. Better than remembering to refresh everything yourself.

Ask your AI

Use Glideator through any MCP-compatible assistant when you want to ask things like “Where should I fly this weekend?” in plain language.

Talk to your AI about flying

Parra-Glideator exposes an MCP server, so compatible AI assistants can query forecasts and site data directly. That means you can ask normal planning questions instead of forcing a chatbot to improvise about valley winds.

"Where should I fly near Innsbruck this weekend?"

"What's the best day to fly at Bassano in the next week?"

"Find me sites above 1500m with a score over 70 on Friday."
