Learning to Fly is the first mission in the Verdant Meadows airstrip given to Carl Johnson by Mike Toreno.

Mission

After purchasing the airstrip, enter the building next to the safehouse. After you step into the marker, a cutscene shows Mike Toreno phoning CJ, telling him to learn to fly in order to free Sweet. Mike Toreno tells Carl to go buy the Airstrip in Verdant Meadows. After CJ buys the property, flight school will be available. If he scores 70% or better on a test, it makes another one available. He needs to get at least 70% for all of them for 100% completion of the game. It also makes CJ a licensed pilot, with access to the airports, if he wasn't one before. There are 10 tests that need to be completed. For a detailed walkthrough of the tests, see Pilot School#Lessons.

Script

Carl Johnson: Toreno?

Mike Toreno: Carl, learn to fly.

Carl Johnson: I'm on it, man, I swear!

Mike Toreno: "I'm on it, man, I swear" Same old broken record, Carl. But that's fine... because your brother's getting a new cell mate tonight. Horse Cock Harry. And I'm sending a present, little wedding present - a big tube of lube.

Carl Johnson: Shit, dude, okay! Okay! I swear, man, I'm gonna be the best pilot!

Mike Toreno: I'd love to hear you, Carl, I can't hear you. All I can hear is your brother's love cries as 8 kilometers of cock find its way up his ass. Aaooowww? That's your brother, okay? No big problem.

Carl Johnson: Wait! Please, man!

Mike Toreno: That was my last motivational speech, understand? Am I being too spiritual for you, Carl?

Carl Johnson: OK, man, I get the message.

Reward

After you complete the test, you will unlock a Rustler, for finishing all the tests with bronze or above, a Stunt Plane, for all silver, and a Hunter for all gold. Also, the missions N.O.E. and Fender Ketchup are unlocked, with the latter triggered by a phone call from Wu Zi Mu. In addition, all Las Venturas safehouses are available (contrary to some walkthroughs, the city itself is accessible prior to this mission). Across the game map, aircraft are now available for flying (in addition, CJ can now access airport runways via security gates). The Police Maverick on the roof of the Los Santos Police Department also appears. The ability to obtain a 6-star wanted level is now unlocked.

Trivia

The lessons don't have to be completed in one go. CJ can leave the airstrip and take part in side-missions, dates, or other activities in-between lessons, with the only penalty being the occasional phone call from Toreno chiding CJ for not finishing the lessons.
Pilot School is the only mandatory training mission in the game, as the others for boating, biking, and cars are optional, though all need to be completed for 100% completion.
The more time you take to begin the flying lessons, the more Toreno will call CJ to remind him, eventually threatening him to have another inmate moved in the same cell as Sweet's, before going on a humorous description of said inmate.

+== Script ==
+'''[[Carl Johnson]]''': Toreno?
-==Flight test==
+'''[[Mike Toreno]]''': Carl, learn to fly.
-===Takeoff===
-Piloting a [[Rustler]], you'll need to takeoff from the airstrip, and then climb steadily and pass through a corona. Remember to retract the landing gear or the plane will not be able to climb. After that, descend to pass through the next corona. Finally, climb and pass through the final corona.
-===Land Plane===
+'''Carl Johnson''': I'm on it, man, I swear!
-Also piloting a [[Rustler]], you'll first need to extend the landing gear. Then, descend to fly through the corona. After that, land on the runway and the test is finished.
-===Circle Airstrip===
+'''Mike Toreno''': "I'm on it, man, I swear" Same old broken record, Carl. But that's fine... because your brother's getting a new cell mate tonight. Horse Cock Harry. And I'm sending a present, little wedding present - a big tube of lube.
-Take off and climb to pass through the first corona. Then, bank left or right to pass through the next corona. Continue to bank left or right until passing through the last corona to pass the test.
-===Circle airstrip and land===
+'''Carl Johnson''': Shit, dude, okay! Okay! I swear, man, I'm gonna be the best pilot!
-Take off and climb to pass through the first corona. Then, bank left or right to pass through the next corona. Continue to bank left or right until passing through the last corona. Finally, land on the runway to pass the test.
-===Helicopter takeoff===
+'''Mike Toreno''': I'd love to hear you, Carl, I can't hear you. All I can hear is your brother's love cries as 8 kilometers of cock find its way up his ass. Aaooowww? That's your brother, okay? No big problem.
-Piloting a [[Hunter]], press X to acceclerate to climb upward. Release X to level off. After that, rotate the helicopter 180 degrees. Push the left analog stick forward to tilt the helicopter at a 45 degrees and press and hold X to go forward. Pass through the corona to pass the test.
-===Land helicopter===
+'''Carl Johnson''': Wait! Please, man!
-Pass through the first corona by pushing the left analog stick foward and pressing and holding X. After that, land on the runway to pass the test.
-===Destroy targets===
+'''Mike Toreno''': That was my last motivational speech, understand? Am I being too spiritual for you, Carl?
-Fly forward and destroy three trucks at the end of the runway, using either missiles or the machine gun. After that, destroy two moving cars at the southwest of the runway. Finally, land on the runway to finish the test.
-Tip: The missiles and explosions, combined with the rapidly changing 3D aspect of flying a helicopter can freak out an old PC with on-board graphics, and make the flying missions artificially slow to do. Take your save game to a faster machine to get through flight school if you can't beat the times.
-Rumour has it that the guns (use left control - LMB is rather hard to press when you have both hands occupied with the keys!) are easier to use on the moving cars because they lock on to the nearest target.
-===Loop-the-loop===
+'''Carl Johnson''': OK, man, I get the message.
-Piloting a [[Stunt Plane]], fly through the first corona first. Immediately pull the left analog stick backward to do the loop-the-loop. Finally, fly through the last corona to finish the test.
-===Barrel roll===
+== Reward ==
-Fly through the first corona, then push the left analog stick directly left quickly to do the barrel roll. After that, fly through the last corona to finish the test.
+After you complete the test, you will unlock a [[Rustler]], for finishing all the tests with bronze or above, a [[Stunt Plane]], for all silver, and a [[Hunter]] for all gold. Also, the missions [[N.O.E.]] and [[Fender Ketchup]] are unlocked, with the latter triggered by a phone call from [[Wu Zi Mu]]. In addition, all Las Venturas safehouses are available ([[Yay Ka-Boom-Boom|contrary to some walkthroughs, the city itself is accessible prior to this mission]]). Across the game map, aircraft are now available for flying (in addition, CJ can now access airport runways via security gates). The [[Police Maverick]] on the roof of the [[Los Santos Police Department]] also appears. The ability to obtain a [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era#Six stars|6-star wanted level]] is now unlocked.
