Be Informed
Mark Your LZ
Use the app to create a marker for your LZ and send it to the Insight. Or mark the LZ directly on your Insight. The Insight will use this information to assist you on your skydive.
Spotting from the aircraft
On the climb the Insight switches itself to the aircraft screen: altitude in the centre, with ground track, groundspeed, distance to your saved LZ and vertical speed around it.
Configure Your Display
Keep it simple with large altitude, front and center (the default). Or get advanced and configure the display to show any of 7 other informational fields. Extra information can be shown during freefall, canopy flight, or both.
GPS track overview
After the jump send your GPS track to the app. Review your metrics for freefall and canopy flight. The app uses Insight data to provide powerful insights to help you learn and progress faster.
3D Flight Path
View your flight as a 3D path to get a better feel for your movements through the sky.
Weather and winds aloft
Be informed before you even start jumping. Use the app’s Flight Planning features to check winds aloft, and push GPS markers to your Insight. Take your Insight to the sky, land, download, repeat.
