Time minimal gliding flight in vertical air currents is discussed. If the vertical current wavelength is large as opposed to the trajectory oscillation taken by an airplane, an optimal flight with approximately n sub z = 1 can be obtained. In short vertical currents the dynamic warming up maneuver in the downwind gives great advantages. During the transition local conditions may interfere. Two fundamentally different control maneuvers of equal value to the sail functions are described.
