 Make your way around this course in record time, then land at Pangborn Memorial airport (KEAT). Total course length is 94.7nm.

As usual, getting the best time around the course is making the trade-off between speed and altitude. You can fly at your glider's minimum sink speed of 80 knots, or gain extra altitude then fly at your best glide ratio speed of 105 knots. Managing your speed and altitude wisely is what's it's all about!

The mission begins in flight, approaching the start line. Your ground crew will monitor your progress via radio telemetry.

Before flying this mission, fly "Tutorial 7: Introduction to Soaring."
