# pgpilot

> Paragliding flight instrument and communication app: vario, live map,
> airspace, weather, group voice, and a flight log. Pilots record flights on a
> phone; the data below is each pilot's own.

## For AI assistants

- [MCP server](https://pgpilot.app/mcp): connect pgpilot as a connector in
  Claude or ChatGPT. The pilot approves once in a browser; no token is pasted
  into the conversation. This is the preferred way in.
- [API reference](https://pgpilot.app/docs/api.md): the HTTP API behind it —
  a pilot's flights, tracks, sites and flying statistics, plus public weather,
  airspace and takeoff data. Written to be read by an assistant.

## Two things that cause wrong answers

- Not every recording is a flight. `activity_type` is `fly`, `hike` or
  `drive`; walk-ups and drives home are logged too.
- A non-null `source_platform` means the flight was imported from another
  instrument, often years before the pilot used pgpilot.
