The pilot will place the plane in the starting position and stand anywhere that they are comfortable.  The pilot will start the timer and then taxi the plane around the markers in the middle of the field and pop the balloon at the end.  The pilot will then take off and do a complete 360 degree turn (not a loop) and land the plane.  The pilot will then need to taxi back through the markers in the opposite direction and break the balloon on the opposite end of the field.  Time will end when the second balloon is broken.  A 20 second penalty will be held for each marker on the field that gets hit either in the taxi or the landing.  If the plane stalls, a pit member or the pilot must restart the plane and return to the pit zone before the contest can continue.
