Here's a hint. You do NOT need to fly through all the rings. Just fly through the first two repeatedly. You can unmount and mount again if you stop getting 10% each time you go through the rings. After dying once and almost dying again, I noticed that I kept going up in % each time I flew through the first two. Easy peasy!

The rings are not the big structures in the sky. There are rings of grey clouds near the ground. Once you mount Andira, the first ring is to the right and slightly down the hill.
The rings can be quite difficult to see once you're flying through them, and sometimes they do not appear until you're almost on them. In general once you've gone through the first two rings the path curves around to the left, goes down and back up.
If you fly too far, Andira may fly back on her own. If you fly very far, you may simply be dismounted in flight. Be careful if you don't have a slow fall or invulnerability.
As the quest starts the mount moves towards the edge of a cliff. This deceptively causes you to think the quest starts as you fly off the cliff. Actually, the timer on the flight buff starts almost as soon as you're mounted, and by the time the mount reaches the cliff it is about to expire. This leads players to think that they are dismounting because of a bug.
Head for the first ring as soon as you have directional control (after the mount moves forward a little). Don't wait until the mount is near the edge of the cliff. There are rings close to the ground (to the right as you start).

What to do
Description
As a flightless being, you will unfortunately never feel the joy of flying alongside your companion. However... you could still fly with Andira. It seems you have earned Andira's trust more than I've seen her with anybody else. Would you like to try a flight course? Take wing with Andira, then fly through the rings. Don't stray off course or take too much time to get between rings or she will leave you behind!

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Providing for the Pack
Even beings of the Shadowlands need to eat. They may not do so quite like your world, but it is similar enough. The pride's favorite prey is the juvenile cloudfeathers found nearby. Prove to Andira that you are a contributing member of the pride by taking her out to hunt for their next meal.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Success Without Soul
The larions seem to truly enjoy your company, Andira most of all. I hope you've come to understand and appreciate the nuance of working with a beast with free will. Now you must spend time with Pelodis, down the hill.
