Reward: Thermal Soaring
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated Time: 30 minutes
In Tutorial 7: Introduction to Soaring, you must reach an altitude of 17,900 ft with your sailplane to receive this reward. I was able to do this using the ridge lift after I passed through all of the gates. Just keep flying parallel to the mountains and try to stay in the areas of strong lift. If you're having a hard time, try finding a thermal that will take you all the way up.
