Weather models are good. Real flights are better.

Intelligent. Fast. Precise.

bestair AI, the first app that validates ICON-CH1 forecasts with real XContest data.

Why BESTAIR AI?

• 🧠 Trained on reality
  BESTAIR AI compares weather models with real XContest flight tracks and corrects the forecast where standard models get it wrong.
• ⚖️ Smooth or Sporty?
  Not just potential, but intensity: BESTAIR predicts whether to expect smooth gliding, active thermals, or demanding, turbulent conditions.
• 🌍 Highest Resolution (1km)
  We use the high-resolution ICON-CH1 model for local valley wind and thermal forecasts that are superior to global models (GFS/ECMWF).
• 📱 Quick check at the launch site
  No complicated menus. Intuitive maps, loading instantly – so you can focus on flying, not on your phone.
• 💬 Five Languages
  German, French, Italian, English, and Spanish – for an international community.
• 🤝 By pilots, for pilots
  Developed by Hike n Fly Switzerland, inspired by real flying experience and community knowledge.

Our Mission
