Flight School
The Flight School is a pilot school in Grand Theft Auto V, located at the Los Santos International Airport in Los Santos, San Andreas. It is unlocked after the mission Friends Reunited.
Only Michael and Franklin need to take lessons to increase their flying skills, unlike Trevor who is already an expert pilot. Trevor will tell Michael to attend the school if his flying skill is not high enough, if the player chooses the Offshore method after the mission Scouting the Port. Note that Michael is NOT required to go to Flight School in order to initiate the heist, however the training is useful.[1]
Like in the Pilot School of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the player will learn to fly airplanes, helicopters, and to perform skydiving. There are 12 lessons in total and for each one the player will be awarded with a different medal (gold, silver, or bronze), depending on the time it takes to complete the lesson. Mission failure will occur if the player crashes the aircraft, strays too far away from the course and enters an out-of-bounds area, or takes too long to complete the mission. Unlike missions, these exercises do not have checkpoints or the skip option (after failing 3 times).
The flight instructor is called Jackson
