GTA V Flight School: City Landing Lesson

Welcome back to the channel for the fourth video in our series on the San Andreas flight school lessons in Grand Theft Auto V. In this lesson, we will cover the City Landing exercise, which ultimately ends up being an emergency beach landing of a rather large plane.

The Importance of Small Corrections

In this exercise, the weather conditions are not fantastic, so it can be tempting to make big adjustments to keep the plane level and in control. However, it is important to make small corrections and avoid rolling the plane as much as possible. Using the left and right rudders, as well as small corrections with the left stick (on a controller) can help keep the plane level.

Engine Failure and the Marker Lines

After passing through the first marker, there will always be an engine failure, but it does not significantly affect the plane. The second marker is where you should line yourself up for the third. Again, try to avoid rolling the plane too much and use the left and right rudders for small corrections.

Getting to the Finish Line

When approaching the last marker, do not line yourself up with it as there is no penalty for missing it. Instead, line yourself up with the finish line, while getting the gear down last (G button on a keyboard). Keep the plane level and drop it as late as possible. Try to land at the 10-meter mark for the best score.

Tips and Tricks

It may take several attempts to get the landing right, but practice makes perfect. What is your best score for the City Landing exercise? Do you have any tips or tricks for other players? Share your thoughts and strategies in the comments below.

the emergency beach landing of a rather large plane let’s start with and without of the way
we can get started now the weather conditions here aren’t fantastic so again the temptation
is to make some big adjustments to try and keep the plane level try and keep the plane in control
you want to try and avoid doing that if you know these small corrections as little as possible I
found myself using the left and right of yours rather than rolling the plane a lot of the time
here which if you’re on a controller is your left and right and B buttons the small ones at
the top as well as doing small corrections with the left stick to try and keep the plane at a
level now once you’ve gone through that first checker checkmark I should say there is always
an engine failure and that’s the first of the two engine failures you’ll see but it doesn’t
really affect the plate and link just slows it down a little bit so once you’ve hit the second
marker line yourself up for the third and again using the left and right rudder rather than the
rolling the plane too much if you can avoid it you hit that left one person that last last
marker and then line yourself up now do not line yourself up with the next marker it’s a pain in
the backside but there’s absolutely no penalty for missing it instead what you want to try and
do is line yourself up with the finish line so getting it relatively high get the gear down
last which is the G button on your keyboard and then try and keep it level and drop the
plane as late as you possibly can and then line up again you want to try and get in at the 10 meter
mark it took me a good five or six tries to get this right but there we have it there’s a gold
