Soaring, from your first flight to running the club

Wherever you are in it
Written for the person doing the thing, with the arithmetic shown and the sources linked.
Flying better
And the software that runs the flying day
The calculators work a number out once. GliderOps is how a club keeps it true through a season — dispatch, rosters, records and billing, without anyone rebuilding a spreadsheet in June.
- The duty officer's Saturday: dispatch, launch log and sign-ins in one screen
- The treasurer's month: flights become charges, charges become invoices
- The maintenance officer's calendar: annuals, squawks and engine hours tracked

I am Bassam. I have run the operations at a US soaring club for four years — the flight log, the roster, the billing run. Everything free on this site is written and compiled by me, and I am the person to tell when it is wrong.
