There are ten tests altogether.
==Overview==
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.
==Walkthrough==
There are '''10''' test that needed to be completed. These are:


==Flight test==
===Takeoff===
===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.
You'll have to lift-off and pass to three coronas to complete the test. Finish in 30 seconds or below to get a Gold medal.


===Land Plane===
===Land Plane===
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.
Fly through the corona and activate the landing gear and land in the designated place and avoid to let the nose of the [[plane|Rustler]] touch the ground or it'll incur damage penalties. Finish in 30 seconds or below to get Gold medal.


===Circle Airstrip===
===Circle Airstrip===
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.
Take off and climb to pass through the first corona. Then, fly a circular course through the field. Do this in a minute to get a Gold medal.


===Circle airstrip and land===
==Circle Airstrip and Land===
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.
Do the same routine on the last test but land to the designated area. Finish this in 1 minute and 20 seconds to get a Gold Medal


===Helicopter takeoff===
===Helicopter Takeoff===
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.
Piloting a [[Hunter]], press X to accelerate 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. Fly through the corona to pass the test.


===Land helicopter===
===Land Helicopter===
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.
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===
===Destroy Targets===
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.
Destroy three targets in the field and then two trucks running at the back of the Snake Farm. Then, destroy remaining vans in the field and land the helicopter at the designated area. Finish this in 1 minute and 30 seconds to get a Gold Medal.
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===
===Loop-the-Loop===
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.
To do a loop-to-loop is to press the analog stick down and pass through 2 coronas in 21 seconds to get a Gold Medal.


===Barrel roll===
===Barrel Roll===
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.
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. Finish the test in 18 seconds or less to get a Gold Medal.
 
===Parachute onto target===
Jumping off the plane, push the left analog stick to dive forward or pull it back to slow the descent. Open the parachute by pressing O and land on the target area to finish the test.


===Parachute Onto Target===
Skydive down to the target and deploy the Parachute, glide to the target zone to get a medal. Landing at the center of the target zone will get you a Gold medal.
==Award==
==Award==
Unlock a [[Rustler]] when finishing all the tests with bronze or above, a [[Stunt Plane]] for all silver and a [[Hunter]] for all gold. Also, passing this mission will unlock the missions of the [[Four Dragons Casino]] path and the first airstrip asset mission, [[N.O.E.]].
After you completed the test, regardless on the medal will unlock a [[Rustler]] when finishing all the tests with bronze or above, a [[Stunt Plane]] for all silver and a [[Hunter]] for all gold. Also, you'll also unlock [[Verdant Meadows]] Graveyard Asset and you'll get a call from [[Wu Zi Mu]]in [[Las Venturas]]. In addition, all Las Venturas safehouses and airplanes are now available.
