🎈 NTA Competition 1.7.8 — the Pre-Worlds update is here!

Just in time for the 26th FAI World Hot Air Balloon Championship in Krosno:

🌀 Swarm Wind — your team mates‘ stable, freshly measured winds land automatically in your wind profile
🧠 Tactics from the ground — your manager calculates Land Run, PDG/FON or Donut and sends it to your screen
🌬 Drift analysis like Windy — the model is re-queried every 15 minutes along the track
📋 Task sheets rebuilt — flight tab, automatic flight number, instant save, practice flights
🎯 New PDG/FON target-altitude mode — enter the altitude, get the declaration point
🕐 ETA field and a cleaner CPA marker
⛔ 100 m no-go zones in the free crew app, with live warning

Almost every one of these came from pilots and competition directors. Keep it coming 🙏

Huge thanks to Jonas Herbeck of / MAYLIN MOTION for producing our video for the NTA SkyNav and NTA Competition. 🎬

From the first concept call to the final cut, Jonas was exceptionally professional: clear communication, precise planning, and an eye for detail that shows in every single frame. Cinematic storytelling, stunning aerial and FPV shots, and an edit that captures the energy of the event perfectly.

If you’re looking for a filmmaker who delivers work that’s truly a cut above, this is the one.

Thank you so much for these words! 🎈

Coming from the team at Bl**er Swisslube, that truly means the world to us.

NTA SkyNav was built for exactly this: bringing planning and operations together in one place for private and commercial pilots alike. Knowing it’s already helping you manage your fleet is the best motivation we could ask for. 🚀 And we’re just getting started – your feedback will help shape what comes next.

Blue skies and happy ballooning! 🌍

The weather briefing is the foundation of every flight. Before we step into the basket, everything has to be right.

That's why we're rebuilding our Weather Briefing from scratch — and we want to get it right. Not from a developer's perspective, but from a pilot's.

Swipe to see what our pilots currently see before every flight:

→ Page 1: Current conditions, wind profile, hourly forecast, load calculation
→ Page 2: Wind rose, sounding, airspace, NOTAM, sunrise & sunset
→ Page 3: Temperature profile by altitude, precipitation, cloud cover

Now we need you:

Is every piece of information there? Does the order match a real briefing flow? Is anything missing? Is anything there that shouldn't be? What would make this briefing perfect for you?

Every balloon pilot who wants to contribute is welcome — whether you know the app or not. Your experience from hundreds of flights is invaluable.
