GTA: San AndreasThe Desert
74of 105
Mission 74 of 105Story mission
The pilot school at Verdant Meadows is ten exercises in flying, from taking off in a straight line to landing a helicopter on a mark, and it is the last of San Andreas's schools. Passing it raises Carl's flying skill and gives him a licence.
The rewards are aircraft and access rather than money: a bronze average parks a Rustler at the strip, silver a Stuntplane, gold a Hunter. It also opens every runway in the state and the Las Venturas safehouses.
As with the driving school, each exercise is graded separately and the reward is set by the average. Individual tests can be retaken, so a bad landing early does not commit the run to bronze.
Flying skill in San Andreas affects how an aircraft handles, and the school is the fastest way to raise it. The desert missions that follow all assume it — N.O.E. in particular is a different mission at a low skill level.
Who this mission brings together, and the ground it covers.
