The work behind the app

Built for the flying day.

GlideHQ is being built around the launch point and the club office. Speak to us about the planned flying-day workflow.

  • Bring flying operations and daily flying lists together.
  • Connect aircraft records with member information.
  • Support training records and club administration.

The thinking behind it

Build the club day around a reliable flight record.

A flight matters to several people: the launch point, the pilot, an instructor, the aircraft team and the treasurer. We are developing GlideHQ around a confirmed flight record that can serve those jobs. The first intended use is a complete club flying day, from preparation through to the records afterwards.

In development

The planned work at the launch point and beyond.

  1. Track the queue and the flight

    The intended operating flow follows a flight from the queue through launch, airborne and landed states to confirmation. A live board and flight history would use that shared record. The aim is to avoid making each volunteer reconstruct the same day's movements independently.

  2. Bring qualifications and training into view

    Member information, qualification records and training progress are part of the planned club workspace. Instructors would record lessons and sign-offs against training programmes. Those records are intended to inform authorised people, who remain responsible for deciding what a pilot may do.

  3. Connect aircraft use with technical records

    The scope includes gliders, tugs, touring motor gliders and supporting equipment. Usage, inspections, documents and defects would sit alongside their operational records. Returning an aircraft or item to service requires the club's authorised process; software status alone cannot establish airworthiness.

  4. Carry confirmed flights into club accounts

    Planned tariffs and flight charges link back to confirmed flying records, giving the treasurer a basis for member accounts. Training and aircraft usage can draw on the same event. Club charges remain distinct from any subscription the club might pay for the software.

The intended experience

The flying day GlideHQ is being designed to support.

These are intended workflows for a product in development, not an invitation to use it operationally today.

  1. Prepare the flying list

    Bring planned flights, participants and aircraft information into the day's working view.

  2. Record the movements

    Follow launches and landings so the people running the day can maintain a flight record.

  3. Confirm and reconcile

    Confirm the flight details before they feed the intended training, usage and charging records.

Before you get started

A few useful answers.

Is GlideHQ ready for our club to use?

Not yet. GlideHQ is in development and no public launch is confirmed. The workflows on this page describe the product direction. Contact HQ Software if you want to discuss your club's requirements.

Will it make operational decisions for us?

No. Decisions about flying, qualifications and aircraft remain with the appropriately authorised people. GlideHQ is being designed to organise records and evidence, not act as a substitute for that responsibility.

Is GlideHQ included with another SportsHQ app?

No shared subscription or account is being offered here. GlideHQ is a separate product within the SportsHQ collection. Its access arrangements will need confirming when a public release is available.
