Give your club a proper soaring forecast.
Most club websites still link to RASP images or hand members off to consumer weather apps. Convek gives you structured soaring weather data you can integrate however you like - club dashboards, briefing tools, flying day indicators, or notification systems.
What clubs use Convek for.
All the data you need for club operations, pre-flight briefings, and member-facing forecasts.
Day rating
A 0-5 soaring quality score for your airfield. Display it on your club website so members know before they make the drive.
Wind at all levels
Surface wind (10 m WRF) plus 925, 850, 800, and 700 hPa altitude levels. Full wind picture for briefings and task planning.
Sounding profiles
Full vertical atmospheric profile - temperature, dewpoint, wind speed and direction at every pressure level. The detail instructors and safety officers need.
Cloudbase & overdevelopment
Cloudbase height AGL and MSL, Cu potential, overdevelopment risk. Essential for cross-country planning and site briefings.
Multi-day planning
Query any date with a valid forecast. Plan task days, competition events, and instructor availability around actual forecast data.
One query per site
A single API call for your home airfield gives you everything needed for a complete pre-flight briefing. Low query count, high value.
What this looks like in practice.
Flying day indicator
A coloured badge on your club website - green/yellow/red based on the day rating. Members check before they set off. Simple query, high value.
Morning briefing tool
Instructors pull up the sounding profile, cloudbase, and wind at all levels before the first launch. One API key, one endpoint, used every flying day.
Task planning dashboard
Plot the day's task and query corridor conditions along each leg. Know where the thermals will be strong and where cu potential drops off.
Start with the free tier, share it with your club.
25 queries/day is enough for a club briefing tool. When you're ready to scale, Dev plans start at £39/month with commercial licensing included.
