Get Gold in the GTA 5 Flight School Helicopter Course
In this video, we will be going through step-by-step on how to get gold in the Grand Theft Auto 5 Flight School Helicopter Course.
As a massive game, Grand Theft Auto 5, along with the constant updates from Rockstar for GTA Online, there’s always new content and interesting things to do. In this continuing series, join us in our journey to get gold in every damn mission of this game.
The Mission: Helicopter Course
Before diving in to the walkthrough, let’s take a look at the briefing for this mission. Here are some important details:
- The mission is relatively easy in terms of controls, and more forgiving than the Stunt Plane mission.
- To achieve gold, we need to complete the obstacle course in less than two minutes and forty seconds.
- Our goal is to avoid bursting into a ball of fire and sign the wafer.
The Walkthrough
Getting gold in this mission is pretty straightforward. We need to complete the course in less than two minutes and forty seconds. Let’s dive in:
Start by going sideways instead of straight up. This way, we avoid hitting the tower on the left. Gaining a little bit of attitude is also important, but not too much. Our goal is to put the pedal to the metal and gain some pace.
Under the bridge, just go straight without worrying about the bridges. It’s okay to be near enough to the circles, as long as we get close to them. Going a bit wide on the circles can also help in keeping pace up.
Now, we need to gain just a little extra altitude to get over the trees, and then head towards the building. Sneak around to the left and gain more altitude to get up and closer to the circle. Once done, go off to the left and fly over the next building. Then, it’s a relatively straight shot back to the airport. Just plant the foot, so to speak, lean it forward as far as you can – our goal is to pick up as much pace as we can through two buildings and then back towards the airport.
Even with the penalties, we can still manage gold. All we need is to get as close to planting down as we can. Just go around the last building and dump the helicopter, and we’re done with the mission.
