icarusWings

With IcarusWings, you can look at the current and past data from the local wind talkers run by the ACTHPA(Australian Capital Territory Hang gliding and Paragliding Club). There are 3 sites that currently have wind talkers, Spring Hill, Lake George and Pig Hill. For more information on the sites please see our website: www.acthpa.com

There are 3 pages that display graphs and raw data for each location that allow the user an easier understanding of what the conditions are or trending towards. The user through the app settings, can change the different types of measurements for wind or temperature, the type of wing they fly, be it a hang glider or paraglider, and select the level of their license/experience that then changes the heuristics for best conditions for them to fly in.

The app access’s our clubs local server and refresh everything every 5 minutes to keep the information up to date. It also has a sea breeze warning system built in, that when turned on and the user is flying at Spring Hill, it will warn them to land immediately when the breeze has been detected at Lake George or Pig Hill.

Please remember that the numbers from the wind talkers can sometimes be inaccurate and to also use your own best judgement!!

IcarusWings is free with no advertising.
Enjoy flying, and fly safe!

This update allows you to change the source information to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology weather stations located in the vicinity of Canberra. The info from last 24-36 hours is displayed graphically and as data on separate tabs. This allows the you to better understand what the wind is doing in the surrounding area. Axis labels have also been placed on the right side of graphs for easier interpretation. Via the Settings menu, you can also specify if you are PG or HG, what rating you have be it Novice or Intermediate. The min's and max's (red/green/blue) in the graphs are changed to reflect the clubs guidelines on safety margins for wind strength.
