New app to analyze your flights !!
Hello,
Just wanted to let you know that we developed an android app able to analyze your igc files, called xc analytics: https://xcanalytics.fr/en/ In a few words, it's statistics applied to cross country flying. It gives you access to more than 60 statistics and 40 charts relative to your flights, an original identification of 4 different phases (prospecting, climbing, floating and gliding), and the possibility to compare your flights with others. It is brand new, and there are many updates to come, some of them based on the feedback the pilots give us. Let me know what you think ! Cheers, Martin |

Cheers, Martin My first impressions: nice interface, lots of data and great statistics (including weather statistics, like wind direction etc.! - and mean distance between lifts!), funny comments. I like it gives both UTC and local launch/landing times. Nice, very clean map with strong road lines and water bodies. A little glitch noticed: in the Information section the app consistently describes the flights type as 'mountain" while they were actually flown over flat lands. I also get the 'mean glide ratio' as '18:54' - I believe we are rather used to the form 'one to something' All in all: IMHO, the best app for smartphones so far and worth spending the symbolic few $$. |

Many thanks for your kind words Tom BravoMike, and your interesting feedback !
It looks like we did not train the algorithm enough over US landscape. We will improve that. By the way, if that is ok with you, we would be glad to get one (or more) of the igc files that showed "mountain" where it should have been "flat lands". You can send it at We will amend the number for the glide ratio accordingly. Look out for future updates ! |

I meant 18:1 to 54:1 |

This number is specific to a certain type of phase detected in the app, "gliding". It is different from "floating" phases. When you look at the glide ratio of those two types of phases combined, it is actually much higher. |

Of the phases - "prospecting, climbing, floating and gliding", only climbing and gliding are familiar to me for sailplane flight analysis. Are floating and prospecting hang glider and paraglider terms? I wouldn't find them useful.
