    At bare minimum you need need to have unlocked the Grapnel Boost MK II, although the higher upgrade levels may provide you with more speed for this achievement attempt.

    You'll want to start at street level and then use your Grapnel to shoot a corner of a building or some other object above the street levels. Use your boost to shoot up and over whatever object it is that you choose to use your Grapnel on, transition into a glide, then dive straight down towards the street, level out before you hit the ground, and then try your best to stay low as long as possible without breaking your glide. You'll want to pull up just a little bit in order to prevent yourself from losing altitude and touching the ground. You'll need to stay at least 10m from the ground which can be a little tough to estimate, but I found that as long as you below the top of the street lights, you'll be fine. The achievement will unlock upon landing.

    t0xzSame for me, the description on here is different to the achievement I unlocked

    IronThunderI was able to get this achievement to pop after getting the riddler trophy above the entrance to Fillions dept store, on Founders Island. There is a point in the main story arc that takes you right to where this trophy is located, but its one of those ones where you have to go to certain coordinates on the map then try to make it back to the trophy on time. The route the game makes you take to do this makes getting this achievement easier because you have a target to aim for. Hope this helps!

    I have found an easy way to get this achievement that requires no upgrades of any kind, and can be done as soon as the game allows you to free-roam. What you need to do is head to the Merchant's Bridge (where the first mutilated body can be found). Climb to the top of the bridge's supports, which has you about 60 meters off the ground. Dive bomb from there to the street surface, then even out over the cars, heading south. Glide 200 meters or more, without ever straying above 10 meters from the road surface. This route can be tricky, as the street starts to curve downward (because you're gliding over a ramp/slope), so you must follow the curvature of the road without ever hitting the floor.

    Using this method, I was able to glide almost 400 meters in one tilt, with no upgrades to my gliding, grapnel hook, or anything else aiding traversal. The fact that the road you are gliding over tilts downward adds almost 150 meters of distance on it's own, which you'll never actually hit the road unless you make an error on the joystick (Batman won't naturally sink to the street as it's curving away from him). At the end of the glide, you should end up about here.

    The achievement description now reads "Glide for 400 meters while less than 20 meters from the ground" instead of "Glide for 200 meters while less than 10 meters from the ground" so it has been changed and I believe that it isn't cumulative because I was trying for ages to get it, travelling some distances so I must have gone over 400 feet cumulatively. Either that or it is glitched in some way.

    At the very start at the top of the screen you will see I have my grapple upgraded which boosts the speed. I spent ages trying to get this over water but finally thought it was too difficult to judge the height, so I started trying over roads by grappling over buildings to build speed before dive bombing down. I got this by chance along this stretch of road in The Cauldron which has arches/signs over the road and lampposts that helped me get the right height. The achievement popped just before I landed.

    ThatSt0neI believe this is true. When I unlocked it, the description on the Xbox read "Glide for 400 meters...". I had a couple of attempts that i know were over 200m, and it didn't pop. It's either been changed or the original description is wrong.
