Default Pirker Final Glide Theory

If you have lost height in a sink zone, your speed will need to be Lower
AFTER the sink zone.

What you do in the sink is up to you (I suppose speed up.)

True. But while you're in sink you need to speed up. At least until you

are
flying the optimal speed for MC=0 for that sink. The AutoMC suggests you

to
slow down which is not ok any way you look at it.
