Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Flying School

Prerequisites

 * Mission: Learning to Fly
 * Location: CJ's airstrip, Verdant Meadows, Bone County

Takeoff
Hold X, and push slightly forward on the left analog stick to increase your traction. When the plane feels as if it wants to take off, release pressure on the left analog stick, press R3 to retract the landing gear, and pull slightly back on the left analog stick to gain altitude. Don't try to climb too fast, or you may stall. Just gently ascend until you reach the first corona. After this you must dive to reach the next corona by gently pushing forward on the left analog stick, and climb again to read the final corona. To get a gold certificate, you must do all this in 30 seconds with no damage. NOTE: First-Person View helps TREMENDOUSLY on this as well as the other flight school missions.

Land Plane
Hold X, and head for the corona. Once you've passed through it, release X, press R3 to extend the landing gear, and start to slow down by holding Square. When you touch the ground, taxi your plane into the red marker and come to a complete stop. To get a gold certificate, you must do all this in 25 seconds with no damage.

Circle Airstrip
Takeoff as above, and head for the first corona. Bank round the coronas as it describes, but the key to success is being very gentle on the controls. There are two ways to achieve this. Either move the left analog stick to the side very slightly, and hold it, or quickly tap the stick all the way to the side, and release it. To get a gold certificate you must do all this in 60 seconds with no damage.

Circle Airstrip and Land
This is a combination of the previous two exercises. To get a gold certificate you must do all this in 80 seconds with no damage.
