Overview
Learning to Fly is the pilot school at Verdant Meadows. Toreno needs CJ to fly, so CJ takes ten lessons covering take-offs, landings, turns, helicopter control and parachuting.
Toreno insists that CJ learn to fly, saying it will help secure Sweet's release. The ten lessons are accessed from a TV set in the airfield office, and they teach the controls for both planes and helicopters.
Walkthrough
- Use the TV in the airfield office to start the lessons.
- Complete each lesson: take-off, landing, circle airstrip, circle and land, helicopter take-off, helicopter landing, destroy targets, loop-the-loop, barrel roll and parachute onto target.
- Score at least bronze in each to pass.
Tips
- Take off gently and keep the nose level.
- The parachute test is easier if you open the chute early and steer slowly.
- Gold medals in every lesson unlock a Hunter at Verdant Meadows.
