Test	Description	Hints
Velocity Square	Use the thermal current to ascend to 400m, then land on the landing point at the top of the mountain. You must reach 400m to receive time points.	There are five thermal currents ahead of where you take off, leading up to the mountain with the landing point. One of these currents is placed behind the landing point in case you need an additional boost.
Shutter Bug 2	Take photos of the fountain in front of the hotel and the whale swimming in the gulf, then land on the landing point.	The whale is in the gulf directly underneath where you take off. You should see a ship sailing around, the whale will appear just before it once you get close enough to the water. The hotel is on the edge of the gulf to the right. You can take an image of the fountain and then land on the landing point placed in front of the hotel.
Seagull Wing	Land on the landing point in exactly 3 minutes. Timing accuracy is important.	The landing point is at the edge of the island to the left of where you take off. You need to keep yourself aloft for three minutes, using the thermal currents to do so, before landing on the landing point. The closer you are to three minutes when you land, the more points you will receive.

• Bronze: 210 points
• Silver: 240 points
• Gold: 270 points

Test	Description	Hints
Thermal Flyer	Fly into the thermal current and ascend as high as you can, then land on the landing point. The thermal currents will disappear after 4 minutes.	The goal of this test is to simply see how high you can fly. There are several thermal currents scattered around, each able to bring you to various heights. After four minutes, the thermal currents will start to fade and you will be told to land on the landing pad. The highest you are capable of going is around 675m above sea level.
Rising Creek	Fly through 8 rings out of 15, then land on the landing point. You must fly through 8 rings to receive time points.	15 rings are scattered around a creek on the island. You just have to go through 8 of them, but you will get more points if you go through all of them. Once you are satisfied with your flight, head for the landing pad.
Shutter Bug 3	Take photos of Missi the monster, the passenger boat and the space shuttle, then land on the landing point.	Follow your radar to take pictures of the various things on the island. Missi the monster is in the canal ahead of where you take off, the cruise ship is further ahead in the ocean, and the space shuttle is back around to the left and will start to take off when you get close. Once you have taken these pictures, head for the landing pad nearby.
