horiznlab beta

Paragliding intel for real missions.

Plan with crews, explore community-sourced launch spots and airspaces, and analyze flights. Built for pilots. Safety first.

Planning only. Verify locally.

Data can be outdated or wrong. Always check weather, airspace/NOTAMs, and local rules.

What you get

Four pillars, built for the briefing-to-debrief loop.

horiznlab stitches launch intel, mission planning, crew comms, and flight analysis into one cohesive surface — so you stop juggling six tabs before each mission.

The map

Spots, airspaces, obstacles, weather overlays, and live conditions on one canvas. Filter by aspect, elevation, skill, and approach.

  • Aspect-aware launch filtering
  • Airspace + NOTAM overlay
  • Weather model layers
Mission planner

Compose a flight plan with launch, route, bailouts, and landing. Capture a risk snapshot the whole crew can sign off on.

  • Risk snapshot per mission
  • Crew assignments + roles
  • Launch window coordination
Flight analysis

Bring your IGC. Replay the track, inspect thermals, glides, and climb rates, and compare to your own history.

  • IGC import + bulk import
  • Thermal & glide segmentation
  • Personal records
Crews & community

Briefings stay tight inside crews. Public stories, segments, and stewards keep spot intel accurate over time.

  • Crew briefings & roles
  • Steward-curated spot intel
  • Public segment leaderboards
Mission planner

One plan. Every variable.

Stop merging WhatsApp screenshots with Skyways tabs. Build a mission with launch, route, bailouts, wind windows, and crew roles in one place — then capture a risk snapshot you can defend.

  • Pick a launch by aspect and elevation; planner pulls weather, airspace, and obstacles automatically.
  • Risk snapshot bundles weather model agreement, airspace conflicts, and freshness of data into one signal.
  • Invite a crew, assign roles, and align on launch windows without leaving the planner.
Flight analysis

Bring your IGC. Get a real debrief.

Drop a track and horiznlab segments thermals and glides, computes climb rates, and surfaces your personal records. Bulk-import a season at once — processing happens in a queue you can resume.

  • Thermal/glide segmentation with climb statistics and L/D estimates per glide.
  • Public segments and crew leaderboards — opt in per flight, stay private by default.
  • Records, achievements, and personalization picked up from your own history, not generic averages.
Community + stewardship

The people who fly there keep the data honest.

Stewards review spot intel and access notes. Pilots own their flights and choose what to make public. Moderation closes the loop on incorrect or unsafe content.

Stewards

Local pilots curate spot intel — wind windows, landings, parking, and access. Apply if you know a site cold.

Crews

Private space for your regular flying group. Briefings, roles, and shared mission history without the noise.

Report a problem

See unsafe guidance or wrong intel? Tell us. Reports route through moderation, not silence.

Safety stance

Planning tool. Not flight instruction. You decide whether to launch.

We treat all data — community spots, weather models, airspace feeds — as informational. Aspect is not wind direction. Verified-elsewhere isn't verified-now. The full stance lives on our safety notes.

Verify with multiple weather sources and local forecasts.
Check the authoritative airspace/NOTAM provider for your region.
Respect local rules, seasons, closures, and landowner access.
You evaluate skill, equipment, and margins. We can't.
Docs

Want the full story before you sign up?

The docs walk through every surface — map, missions, crews, flights, equipment, learn — and how to interpret what horiznlab shows you.

FAQ

Common questions, briefly.

Is this a replacement for official weather or airspace?

No. horiznlab aggregates weather and airspace for planning convenience. Always cross-check with the authoritative provider for your region before launching.

Where does the spot data come from?

A mix of community submissions and steward-reviewed intel. We surface freshness on every spot so you can judge how stale a wind window or access note might be.

What happens to my IGC tracks?

Your flights are private by default. You explicitly opt in to publish a flight or contribute to a public segment leaderboard. Bulk-imports never auto-publish.

Do I need a paid plan to fly with this?

The current beta is free for pilots. Some school/operator surfaces are role-gated, but the planning, map, and analysis tools are open to anyone with an account.
