METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TRANSITIONING AN AERIAL VEHICLE BETWEEN CROSSWIND FLIGHT AND HOVER FLIGHT A method comprising: operating an aerial vehicle in a crosswind-flight orientation, wherein the aerial vehicle is connected to a tether, and wherein the tether is connected to a ground station; while the aerial vehicle is in the crosswind-flight orientation, positioning the aerial vehicle at a first location, wherein the first location is substantially downwind of the ground station; transitioning the aerial vehicle from the crosswind-flight orientation to a forward-flight orientation, wherein a tension of the tether is reduced; and operating the aerial vehicle in the forward-flight orientation to ascend at an angle of ascent to a second location, wherein the second location is substantially downwind of the ground station.
