You can enter flights manually, download them from leonardo servers, draw a bunch of them into the flightlist with the mouse or read a comnplete flying weekend from your device with one single click. The device readout smoothes peaks, detects tow launches, calculates effective takeoff and landing times and even splits flights if you forgot to switch off your logger between them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Detection of launch, flying site, country or timezone is fully automated. Numerous data fields and attributes exist for each flight, and in-place-editing in the list is also available. Filter flights by defining criteria or just double-clicking on the desired cell value, edit multiple flights at once, and define your very own list layout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Group a set of information windows and restore it automatically with every start. Maintain as many logs as you like \u2013 for your family or a club competition, but also as data repository for site analysis. Even if you\u2019re an aeroplane pilot as well, the software will help you as it also can manage FCL\/JAR compliant flight logs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pfb.ungemachdata.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/fbmain.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Waypoints and maps<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">New philosophy: ParaFlightBook treats waypoints, launch sites and airspaces together as \u201csites\u201d \u2013 just like the pilot who only says \u201cI\u2019d like to fly <b>there<\/b>\u201c.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can open as many map-enabled site windows as you like \u2013 and copy items per Drag&#038;Drop between them. Each window knows all kinds of common formats: WPT, CUP, KML, OpenAir, SeeYou\u2026 \u2013 and of course you can drag such a file just on the programs window as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A double-click in the map creates an editable waypoint; GeoServices in the background retrieve altitude, country and even a naming suggestion. Airspaces are drawn with the mouse \u2013 so it\u2019s also easy to store i.e. dangerous lee areas and to bring them on your device.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A global GeoData collection learns from flights and supports itself the automatic recognition of site, launch and landing places.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Complete sites can also be directly loaded in the map-enabled vario dialog to be sent to the device \u2013 in one step; the splitting into waypoints and airspaces is handled internally. An AutoSort-feature makes it easy to create sub-sites for your own XC plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The export into all supported formats is also possible. ParaFlightBook is a most comfortable editor for all kind of flight-related kinds of GeoData. Some common use cases are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">filter an OpenAir file by floor and glider relevance, or combine several of them<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">prepare yourself for holiday with a customized site including even thermal spots from the TSP<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">convert GeoData while checking what\u2019s in there<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">check the quality of waypoint lists<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">share site descriptions with your friends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pfb.ungemachdata.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/fbOrtsScreens.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>FAI and thermals<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">ParaFlightBook includes an offline task planner with XC optimization. Draw a task, watch its scoring, add waypoints and airspaces, save and send to your preferred instrument.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">PFB also integrates several online FAI planner tools, including one with the capability to send FAI sectors as warning-enabled &#8220;airspaces&#8221; to instruments without FAI capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">An innovative thermal analysis does not only analyse your ascent phases but also tracks them back to their origins, thus creating a database of the true points where thermals are born. Other flights can be downloaded to or drawn into the analysis window to extend your private thermal database. You can also print thermal maps.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pfb.ungemachdata.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/fbAlleAnalyse.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>XC and OLC<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The built-in XC optimizer calculates flights with customizable factors. It also supports \u201clive\u201d the internal route\/task planner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Flights can be uploaded <strong>directly<\/strong> to XContest or DHV-XC. This can be done groupwise or per flight. The different class rules for 2012 are implemented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Having read out your device, the new flights are already selected for opimization and upload.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pfb.ungemachdata.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/fbUpload.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Statistics<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The info area has several modes (more than 400 filter-enabled statistics and totals, diagrams, picture viewer) which are synchronized with the current flight.
