If you are pre-solo, discuss with an instructor before doing any task.
| Difficulty | medium |
|---|---|
| Minimum set-off height | 3,000 ft |
| Distance | 29.3 km |
| Airspace | stay below 5,200 ft QFE south of Gransden |
| BGA Ladder Points | 182 |
| Suitable weather conditions | winds from west or north with good thermals, cloud base at least 3,500 ft |
This is a moderately long task.
Note that the minimum height at STN and PAP is 2,800 ft and you must remain above this height along the whole of this leg of the task, so you will want the cloud base to be over 3,500 ft before attempting this task.
