Selecting A Plane
See Also

In order to be able to give your orders to a plane, you must first select it.  You do this by using the mouse to point and click on whichever plane you wish to control.

You can tell which plane is selected as the height, speed and fuel indicator will turn to a blue colour.

Planes that are not selected will have the information text written in green.

Any planes that are in trouble will appear with their text in red.


Landing A Plane
See Also

In order to achieve the best score, you must land as many planes as possible, preferably all of them !

To achieve this, you must line a plane up on approach in the required direction of landing and guide it down onto the runway.

You want to approach the runway between 200-300mph and at about 1,000ft and then when the plane is at the beginning of the runway, decrease both the height and speed.

Plane on final approach

Once on the runway, the plane will slow down to a stop and you will be rewarded with a successful landing.

The arrow here indicates the direction that should be used to land the plan.  Landing in the wrong direction will cause the plane to crash !

Status Indicators:

The two labels indicate the number of planes that you have successfully landed so far, and the number of planes that have crashed.


Speed Buttons:

Use either the up or down arrow buttons to cause the selected plane to increase or decrease in speed.  The maximum speed that can be obtained by a plane is 990 mph.  Click on a button again to stop the plane ascending/descending.

A plane is in trouble when either the height goes below 500ft or the fuel supply drops below 50 gallons.
