The four courses

Enter the parked Sparrow to start. Fly through every checkpoint; the course ends after the last one. The Sea Sparrow you earn for collecting 80 hidden packages behind the Vercetti Estate does not start a course, so use the plain Sparrows below.

Course	Checkpoints	Where the Sparrow waits	Opens after
Ocean Beach	17	On the roof of Apartment 3c	Rub Out
Vice Point	17	On the open grass east, across the street from Links View Apartment, beside a police bribe	Rub Out

Downtown	29	At the building east of the VCPD headquarters	G-Spotlight

Ocean Beach

Take off from the roof of Apartment 3c and head for the first checkpoint across the neighboring blocks. With 17 checkpoints this is one of the two shortest courses.

Vice Point

This course also has 17 checkpoints. The Sparrow sits in the open grassy area in the south-center of Vice Point, across the street, east of the Links View Apartment, and a police bribe is close by if you need it before you set off. Keep your height until you can see the next checkpoint.

Little Haiti

The Little Haiti Sparrow is on a roof behind Kaufman Cabs, and the way up is a bike jump from the street to the north, using the alley ramp. It has 22 checkpoints.

Downtown

The Downtown course is the longest, with 29 checkpoints, and it is the last to open because it needs G-Spotlight. The Sparrow waits at the building just east of the VCPD headquarters. Take the gaps between the towers slowly.
