assigned speed task

Your practice Assigned Speed Task (AST) can vary depending on the day and your focus. You could have a few turnpoints around the airport that form laps. Maybe it is time to work on one of your badges, just make sure you go past the center of the turn, not just nicking the closest edge if you want to claim that badge.

It is even better if you have some friends to race against to compare decisions.

Last Week we looked at the weather forecast. Now to determine the best task for the day. This will depend on the weather, your schedule, your mood. However like any athlete you cannot take the easiest practice. You still have to have a plan to improve yourself. You improve by pushing yourself. If you never land out, you are not pushing hard enough. If you land out often, you are probably pushing too

I spent the day with a student from MN and he got to experience some wave, it was small and we only climbed about 700 ft above release, but it was better than landing so it was a win, and it was mid-January and we are flying... Most of our day was climb 50 ft lose 30.... it was a slow climb. The average climb rate would be better if we could climb the entire time, so let’s avoid losing 30 ft each time.
