I use AI in my blog to translate German texts into English. This works quite well for the most part, but sometimes the meaning of the text is not recognised and translated incorrectly. Could AI answer my questions about paragliding in the various disciplines? Would it be conceivable to dispense with the knowledge in forums, YouTube, blogs, fellow pilots, books etc. and rely solely on text-based AI à la ChatGPT? I have asked one question from various category and checked ChatGPT's answer for accuracy.

Two years ago, I explained my XC Track page layouts in more detail. XC Track has evolved and I have also gained new insights since then. I have therefore adapted the settings over time and would like to present my updated settings again here.

Most of us know the IGC file (en: International Gliding Commission) as a file that a vario creates, in which the flight path is recorded and which can be uploaded to one of the Internet portals, such as the DHV-XC or XContest, after the flight. When opening the file with a normal text editor, you can recognise some information in plain text, but most of the data is very cryptic. However, it is worth taking a closer look at what is hidden behind it in order to better understand the background to airspace violations, for example.

Interview with the creators of we-measure.io

The topic of trimming paragliders and its effect on flight behaviour and ultimately also on safety has been the subject of intense discussion in the scene for several years now. Nevertheless, for most pilots, checking and re-trimming paragliders seems to be a job for the check centres. How can pilots be enabled to check the trim and how can they be supported in trimming their own glider? Nora Martiny and Benjamin Lutze must have thought about this and much more, and their answer: the website we-measure.io.

Keyboard XC Remote

XC Track is now used by many pilots on their smartphones. A major drawback here is the lack of hardware buttons. This makes operation in the air difficult; solutions such as operation with a stylus pen or gloves with a special coating are impractical in the air. A keyboard such as XC Remote promises a remedy.
