Flight Control Hints, Cheats & Tips

Straight Lines
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, thus make your planes fly in straight lines when you can.

180 Turns
Planes can actually turn around completely while in the same position so use this when you can. So it doesn’t matter what direction they are facing when they fly to the runway entrance. You can especially make use with the red and yellow ones since you can have them fly from any point in the map to that point and they will immediately do a quick turn to the correct direction to enter the runway.

Spawn Points Info
Each type of plane can only spawn at certain points on every map. Having the knowledge of where each is coming before they actually appear can be used to think about what moves you will make.

Land Fast
As your score gets higher, more and more planes will appear. This will become harder to manage and you will eventually end up with a crash. Therefore always land each aircraft ASAP. The only reason to wait is if the runway is not clear.

Fast Before Slow
Generally, land your fast planes before your slow ones. The faster intercontinental planes are harder to control than the slower domestic ones. You can make the slower planes circle around until you are ready.

Helicopters Landing
A good piece of advice is Helicopters can approach the helipad from multiple sides at once. Watch out not to get them too close to each other though or you may crash.

Land Helicopters ASAP
Land helicopters as quickly as possible or they will form a moving roadblock which will increase the chance of a crash.

Stay Away From Edges
Do not keep aircraft near the edges as it is always an unnecessary risk. A plane could always spawn right at the wrong time and cause a crash.

Single File Order
Always try and pass behind planes that are already on an approach path rather than cutting in front of them.

Same Arrival
If two planes are looking like they will arrive at the runway at the same time, make one enter a small loop in the fligt path so it will be delayed slightly.

Red Warnings
When you get the red warnings, this does not necessarily mean that the planes will collide. Many times you can scrape by very close without a crash. Try and master this!

Concentrate!
Concentration is the key to doing well. One small distraction and it’s over. Keep focused!
