Are you upgrading your acceleration and stuff? First time I played it I thought the dots meant that they were what was active for the next flight and just bought the glider/rocket. Could be that, GrTrPr?

Upgrade acceleration first - then by day 3 you get a glider (distance achievement) by day 4 you can grade height 3 times, so you can get the height... from then on go for new ramps asap and try to gain time + height...
When getting 6000 - keep it about 1-3 altitude and keep your speed at 200 with rockets... no more, no less. I got mine 18 days badge with 2 awful flights, so it shouldn'e be that hard...

the hard badge is pretty easy. day 1 you need to get more than 15$, buy acceleration. in day 2 jump longer than 25 ft to have the first glider by day three.
the time badge is the easiest in each level, just keep the angle so that you go down slowly without losing too much speed.

The hard badge is not as difficult as it seems.
As for getting the 6000 feet:
The trick to travel as far as possible is to stay closely below the critical speed at all times. When you start, accelerate up to 200 mph, and stay close to that speed untill your fuel is depleted and you are close to the water. ( ramp, and got up to 7700 feet on the tallest ramp.

I just did it in 18 days. The ramp upgrade seems least useful, I didn't even max it.
Getting the glider and rocket upgrades early is the most important, along with acceleration.
The altitude achievement in each level is the easiest to get, and provides a quick cash boost to get you the upgrades you need to get the other achievements. Top Speed is next, you just have to make sure you have the glider that can handle that speed, and enough rocket power to get there before splashing down. For the other two achievements you need the air resistance upgrade to keep near max speed for as long as possible.
