Built for how gliding clubs actually operate
Gliding has its own operational shape: winch and aerotow launches, duty rosters, shared glider fleets, syndicates, and a season that swings between local soaring and cross-country or competition flying. AirMan handles the operational backbone — bookings, members, aircraft, flights, tows, documents, maintenance and billing — and captures launch and tow activity against each flight so it flows into logs, hours and invoices instead of a clipboard at the launch point.
Race intelligence on the same data
When the contest season starts, AirRace turns flight data into tactical insight. It reconstructs each contest day — thermals, glides, transitions, final glides, energy lines and speed choices — and compares pilots against the field, explaining not just where a pilot flew but why a tactical choice mattered. Coaches and pilots use it to understand where time was gained or lost; directors use it for cleaner data and post-task analytics.
AirRace is currently being developed around historical gliding flight data and private analysis workflows. Public demos and case studies will be added as they become available.
Less manual IGC handling
Manual file handling is a familiar friction in gliding — chasing loggers, downloading files, fixing the ones that didn't record. Connected to ARX9, race and flight data can move directly from the glider into analysis, reducing missing files and post-flight admin for both pilots and organisers. IGC files and historical records still work too.
One ecosystem, before, during and after the task
Together, AirMan, AirRace, AirStream and ARX9 turn race flying into a connected data environment: operations and rosters before the task, live position and streaming during it, and clean analysis and results after landing.
Airsuite is not a certified flight recorder or a mandated safety system, and complements rather than replaces official equipment, procedures and pilot judgement.
