Gliding

Glider pilots are likely to need a briefing based on a particular area, say a circle or a rectangle covering a proposed area.

Height limits will need to be adjustable. Generally up to cloudbase but can go very high in wave.

Ultimately a graphical presentation is highly desirable, particularly for task-setting.

Gliders will generally only want aerodrome briefings for a small number of fields as they tend not to land at commercial airports.
