I am delighted to announce the launch of a new cross-country soaring site:



http://www.crosscountry.aero



Here are a few of the site highlights:



Crosscountry.aero introduces evaluation of flights according to IGC

rules as well as OLC-type tasks. Flights are also evaluated for FAI

badge requirements.



One of the main site features is the ability to easily share flight

experiences with other pilots, but also with non-flying friends and

family. For every flight you upload, you can easily create an image

gallery or even write an entire article containing pictures and video.



We are also introducing the Pilot Ranking, a new flexible competition

format we hope will prove to be fun and popular.



There are also plenty of tools to track your soaring achievements, from

following your progress through the badges to viewing statistics on your

season performance.



I invite you to take a look at the site. Don't forget to upload your

flights!



Best wishes for the holidays,



Alexander Georgas

What is the advantage compared to other platforms like the OLC or SkyLines?
