Found lift, but keep losing the best part of the circle? Hear where the stronger air lies, see which part of your recent turns worked, and use those cues to make more of the next turn.
Basic: Frequent Flyer · Advanced views: Adventurer
See where the last turn climbed best, then use that pattern to help place the next circle. Adventurer adds detailed lift fields and Rising column, helping you follow how the climb shifts with height.
Explore Thermal AssistAdventurer
Keep track of the strong side of your turn through stereo headphones. Left/right sound gives you a direction to work with; the climb tone helps you judge whether your next circle is working better.
Set up your variometerFrequent Flyer and Adventurer
A quiet glide can hide air worth noticing. Hear a short cue as you enter near-zero sink or climb, then feel the wing and listen for the climb to develop. It gives weak air a sound of its own.
Learn the early lift cueUse the cues alongside the feel of the wing, then listen through the next turn to judge what is working.
Your vario, instruments, and flight record together
Follow climb rate and altitude alongside wind, speed, and navigation. Adjust the vario's thresholds, volume, climb rate smoothing, and sound profile before takeoff, then review your route after landing.

Why pilots love Gaggle
We are proud to have a community of pilots that love to fly and love to use Gaggle. Here are some of the things they have to say on why are rating Gaggle as the best flight recorder for their paramotor and paragliding flights.
Avery Colburn
"The best app for tracking your flights. Originally focussed on ultralights, it's useful for all forms of aviation. As a paramotor pilot, it gives me tracking of my friends, fuel and wind status, and nearby air traffic alerts. The best app hands down."
