Aufwind: (noun, German) an upward current of air, updraught.
A good preparation is crucial for a safe, relaxed, fun, successful cross-country flight. Overlay all relevant information like airspaces, NOTAMs, waypoints and weather on the map and plan your task for the day with the easy to use visual task planner.
Export the task as a CUP file to an SD-card or mail it to yourself and load it up into your flight computer (LX, Oudie and others) or XCSoar.
Soaring Weather:
Aufwind comes with most crucial soaring forecasts already built-in:
- Thermal strength

To get even more detailed soaring forecasts, you can login with your SkySight account in the app.
Task Planner:
Plan your task for the day interactively on the map overlaid with the weather forecast, airspaces and other relevant information.
