Basic Missions
•
Taking off/Landing - Taking off from the helicopter pad and landing back on the helicopter pad.
•
Hovering - Taking off from a helicopter pad, hovering for 5 seconds, and landing back on the helicopter pad.
•
Flying - Gathering the medals scattered in the sky and landing back on the helicopter pad.
•
Cargo Transportation - Hanging and carrying the two containers placed near the helicopter pad. Only one container can be carried per transport. This practice plays an important role in Cargo Transportation Mission so be prepared.
•
Extinguishing Fire - Spraying foam on housing in the cottage areas. Extinguishing fires while hovering requires more advanced flight techniques.
Mission
The game offers you 15 action-packed missions. When each mission is cleared, you are given a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal depending on the time it took to complete the mission.
Failing the Mission
You will fail the mission when the helicopter's power level reaches 0 caused by a building crash or ground crash. When asked (Continue?), select (Yes) to repeat the same mission before the countdown reaches 0.
Clearing the Mission
When each mission is cleared, Result Screen appears and displays Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal depending on the time it took to complete the mission. Press the button to view a replay video of the successful mission story.
Flight Operation Mission
Continue flying the suggested route. This mission is completed after landing onto the helicopter pad. Mission 1-1 "Sightseeing Flight" is applicable to this mission.
Crop-Dusting Mission
Crop-dust onto the specified location. This mission is completed after all the crop-dusting is finished and landing onto the specified helicopter pad. Mission 1-2 "Crop-dusting" is applicable to this mission.
Target View
Find hidden medals on the island!
Treasure Hunting Mission
Look for all the hidden medals all over the islands within a time limit. This mission is completed after collecting all the medals and landing onto the helicopter pad in time. This is the only mission where a target is not specified. Mission 2-1 "Treasure Hunting" is applicable to this mission.
Cargo Transportation Mission
Hang and carry a cargo container to the specified location and unload it in space specified. As the levels in this mission get higher, the less space to unload the container will be provided. Because of the little space, piling up the containers will be necessary.
How to Hook
To carry a container, you need to hook and pull it up in the air. First, keep hovering over the container. Take up the rope. Then, control the altitude of the helicopter until the tip of the hook touches the container.
To pull up, stop the hook and keep hovering. Take up the rope and slowly bring it down until the hook touches the container. Pull it up and it's ready to transport.
How to Unload
To unload a container within the specified space, keep hovering over the area until the swinging stops. Slowly bring down the container until it touches the ground. Once the container touches the ground, lower the altitude until the rope loosens and it's ready to unlock. Make sure to pay close attention to the Climb Indicator to avoid the crash.
To unload, keep hovering and slowly lower the altitude until the rope loosens.
Fire Extinguishing Mission
After take-off, fly to the fire spot where it originated, spray foam over all buildings where the fire is breaking out. This mission is completed after all the fires are put out. Extinguishing a fire while hovering will test your flight techniques.
How to Spray
Press and hold the button to spray foam. When foam is sprayed while the helicopter is in motion, the foam will get scattered all over. Make sure to keep hovering and to aim exclusively at the targeted building. Continue spraying for a few seconds until the fire is completely extinguished.
Rescue Mission
Fly to the target destination and rescue people who are lost in the mountains or who are drawn in at the river by pulling them up with a helicopter.
