SeeYou
General Description
SeeYou – Makes You a Better Pilot!
SeeYou has been designed for pilots, by pilots, to simplify the process of learning the skills an exceptional pilot needs. If you can imagine it or want it, chances are we have developed it!
Pre–Flight Planning
Planning a flight becomes far more intuitive with accurate weather forecast information overlaid onto the map view.
SeeYou has an integrated Task Management tool which allows you to plan Goal, Out–and–return, Triangle and other flights intuitively on a map view.
Airspace updates are automatic and free for SeeYou subscribers. It doesn’t get easier than this. SeeYou checks for the latest airspace files automatically and notifies you about any updates. That’s it – no installation, no downloads, fully automatic.
Free Airspace Updates
Airspace updates are automatic and free for SeeYou subscribers. It doesn’t get easier than this. SeeYou checks for the latest airspace files automatically and notifies you about any updates. That’s it – no installation, no downloads, fully automatic.
Managing Waypoints
SeeYou presents several different types of waypoints, ranging from a turnpoint to mountain pass. Waypoints can be imported and exported to all file formats, known to us. If there is an unsupported file format, please let us know, and we will implement it as soon as possible.
• The picture features waypoints located around the Lac de Serre Poncon in the French Alps
• The pop–up menu in the corner shows You how easy it is to manage waypoints.
Home Waypoint is a useful feature for pilots who travel around the world with their gliders.
This one–click menu offers You the possibility of switching between gliding sites anywhere in the world.
Task Planning Made Easy
Planning a badge or record flight? Look no further. SeeYou has an integrated Task Management tool which allows you to plan Goal, Out–and–return, Triangle and other types of flights on a map.
Post–Flight Analysis
Viewing flights in 3D view is one of the most spectacular features in SeeYou.
The software will animate your flight tracks, displaying in 3d and overlaid on either vector or raster maps. Graph views allow you to analyse a wide range of flight data as you watch the flight unfold.
• Relive your experience;
• Share your passion;
• Learn from your mistakes;
• Compare with your peers…
Simultaneous animation of multiple flights is very educational for analysis of competition results. With SeeYou, this animation is created in just a few clicks.
A really nice feature is the picture gallery which uses time stamps to automatically scroll as your flight animates, allowing you to see exactly where you were and the conditions at key parts of the flight.
Adding pictures to your flights is as easy as opening your flight, then dragging and dropping them onto the screen.
Bar Graphs and Histograms
Bar graphs and Histograms represent the respective data divided into small portions ranges of values (adjustable through Options dialog). The value representing the middle value of the range
Wind histogram presents the distribution of the wind in different altitude layers. The lines represent
• Wind vectors. Longer arrow represents stronger wind• Altitude layer
• Time spent in the altitude layer
• Average wind in the altitude layer
Vario histogram presents the distribution of thermal strength for the specified part of flight. The lines represent
• Red bar represents time spent in the vario range• Blue bar represents the altitude gained (or lost)
• Strength of thermal
• Time spent in that strength of thermal
• Altitude gained climbing with that climb rate
Altitude histogram presents the distribution of the strength of thermal in dependence to the height above sea level. The lines represent
• Red bar represents time spent in the altitude layer,• Blue bar represents the average thermal in the layer
• Altitude layer (the number representing the mid value of the layer)
• Time spent circling in this layer
• Average Vario in this layer
Speed histogram presents the distribution of the speeds used during flight. The lines represent the
• Red bar represents time spent in a range of speeds• Blue bar represents the distance covered in a range of speeds
• Green bar represents the altitude lost in a range of speeds
• Mid value of the speed range
• Time spent flying straight with the respective speeds
• Distance covered flying with the speed inside that range
• Altitude lost (or gained if positive) flying with the speeds of this range.
Analysis of Single or Multiple Flights
Trying to find out why others fly further or faster? Open all interesting flights on a single screen, animate the flights, study the routes flown by the best pilots and explore the statistics in every detail. This is how many aspiring pilots have become respected cross-country pilots and competitors.
Statistics
SeeYou will give You much more detailed statistics for Your flight than any other gliding software.
Are You interested in how good You are in thermalling to the left or right?
Want to know the distribution of average lift or ground speeds used?
How about those circles You make in vain, thinking “this must have been lift!” Ever thought about how much time they cost You?
• We have spent more than 50 minutes climbing in lift of less than 0.2 m/s
• But nevertheless flown a memorable 678km FAI Triangle in the Alps.
Another unique feature to SeeYou is that it includes the wind in statistics reports:
• It stores the Wind into height layers
• It averages the wind from several flights for an even better estimate
• It stores the wind into a database for future use
• If TAS/IAS and GS are in the IGC file it computes the wind in straight flight
Flight Phase Statistics
A great way to explore your flight is by studying flight phases.
It is a very simple set of straight and circling phases of your flight. But it tells an interesting story when you start sorting these flight
phases by clicking on column headers.
• see the distribution of average lift during your flight,
• find your lowest save, top thermal, longest straight phase,
• explore the distribution of ground speeds achieved
• and more:
• Double–clicking on a phase will move the glider into this phase,
• when used in a desktop this gives an immediate visual reference
Allow your imagination to guide you.
