| Difficulty | easy |
|---|---|
| Minimum set-off height | 3,000 ft |
| Distance | 17 km |
| Airspace | Stay below 5,200 ft QFE south of Gransden. If you get low over Bourn airfield, land rather than getting in the way of Bourn traffic! |
| BGA Ladder Points | 113 |
| Suitable weather conditions | winds from north with moderate thermals or better |
This task is an out and return. Do the task when the winds are from the north-east so you are blown back towards the airfield. Stay clear of the approaches to Bourn's runways.
