FlySight is not your mother’s GPS.

FlySight was designed by Bionic Avionics Inc. from the ground up for wingsuit and canopy pilots and does one truly revolutionary thing:

FlySight provides real-time audible indication of glide ratio, horizontal or vertical speed.

If you’ve used other GPS receivers, you know the drill. When you land, you review data from the jump. If you’re lucky, or if you’ve planned a very simple jump, you might remember what you were doing when your glide ratio maxed out. On the next jump, you try to do it again.

FlySight speeds the learning process.

When you change your body position, you instantly hear a change in the tone. Your brain easily connects this feedback with your precise body position, making it astonishingly easy to remember what worked and what didn’t.

FlySight handles the dynamics of freefall exceptionally well. FlySight can be turned on a few minutes before exit, and begins providing audible feedback immediately after exit.

• “I highly recommend the FlySight,” says Jeff Nebelkopf, Chief Wingsuit Test Pilot for Tony Suits. “It is a great training tool and logs 5 points per second. Like any GPS there is about a 1 second lag time. Once you do a few jumps with it your glide ratio or speed should improve.”

It’s also proven be a great tool for canopy swoopers.

• “The 5Hz sample rate, accuracy, and small size have made the FlySight an effective tool for swoop training,” says competitive canopy pilot Dan Raymond. “I use it to track key performance metrics and to generate a detailed 3D view of the entire swoop.”

Note: The FlySight Audible GPS can only be heard with a pair of stereo headphones (not included).

FlySight Viewer

• The FlySight Viewer is a simple utility which produces plots of your logged jumps. Data can be imported from FlySight CSV or NMEA files produced by most GPS receivers.

Plots can include one or two parameters on the vertical axis, including:

• Glide ratio
• Horizontal speed
• Vertical speed
• Elevation

The horizontal axis may be either time or distance. This allows the user to measure how much forward movement is achieved in a given vertical drop.

Finally, the Flysight Viewer can export data as FlySight CSV or NMEA files, or as KML files which can be loaded into Google Earth.

Paralog

• If you are looking for a more full-featured package, we strongly recommend buying Paralog
• Data from FlySight can be imported into Paralog, where it becomes part of a comprehensive logbook, including jump details, photos, video, and more.
• As well as producing 2D plots from logged data, Paralog can also produce 3D jump profiles
