For this achievement you need to complete
15 knife flights

50 under the bridge challenges

For this achievement there is two very useful guides I will link below by Gta series videos.

Under The Bridges

There are 50 bridges that you must fly under across the map. First off, get a Maverick helicopter from the roof of the South Los Santos Hospital. If the Maverick doesn't spawn, go down the ladder to the street and up to the helipad again until it does. All 50 Under the Bridges can be finished with this helicopter and most are very easy, but there are a few tricky ones with very little room to manoeuvre. If you can't do these with the Maverick, the best helicopter for them is the Buzzard as it is smaller. This is located in Fort Zancudo or can be bought for $2 million from the "Warstock Cash & Carry" dealership on your phone.

For all of the bridges we strongly advise you make use of the quick save feature when you are approaching one, just in case something goes wrong. Therefore if something goes wrong and you hit the bridge or the challenge does not register, you can quickly reload and try again. It is also highly recommended you max out the "Flying" statistic of one of your characters first by completing the lessons at the Flight School at the Los Santos International Airport (Trevor will be nearly maxed out when you gain control of him in the story). This will greatly help with stability and control for the delicate movements.

You must not touch the sides of the bridges at all with your rotor blades, otherwise the challenge will not register. Only move on to the next bridge once an on-screen notification appears saying "Under The Bridge Completed!"
 

Knife Flights

There are 15 Knife Flight challenges in the game. A Knife Flight is when you tilt a plane on its side so that the wings are vertical, and to complete a "challenge" you have to do this manoeuvre between two buildings. Use the to tilt your plane on its side, then use the rudders with and to maintain altitude and balance.

The best aircraft to do all of the challenges with is the fighter jet due to its speed, although the stunt airplane that occasionally appear at the McKenzie Field Hangar might be useful if you are struggling with the trickier challenges due to it being thinner and having the more precise control overall. However, it is much slower so you have to maintain your position and balance for a much longer period. The fighter jet can be found at Fort Zancudo, the military base in the west of San Andreas. You will automatically get a 4-star wanted level when you enter the base so make a quick save beforehand as it will likely take a few tries to successfully steal the jet.

As with "Under The Bridges", it is highly recommended you use a character with a maxed out "Flying" statistic to give you more control over your aircraft. Completing the "Knife Flights" lesson at the Flight School is also good preparation for these challenges as the tutorial tells you exactly what to do. Most importantly, remember to quick save just before you attempt a challenge so you can easily restart if the attempt goes awry. Only move onto the next challenge once "Knife Flight Completed!" appears on your screen.

Please check the 100% Completion Guide & Checklist for maps showing the locations of all "Under The Bridges" and "Knife Flight" challenges.

There are two types of Aerial Challenges in GTA V: Under the Bridges and Knife Flights. Under the Bridge challenges task you with simply flying under 50 bridges across the world, while Knife Flights require you to “knife” your plane through two buildings. There are 15 Knife Flights located around San Andreas.

If you have dipped your toes in the Flight School challenges in the Los Santos International Airport, you will already be familiar with what a "knife" is and how to perform one. If not, a "knife" is when you roll the plane on its side using the left thumbstick so the wings are vertical with the horizon. To maintain altitude while in this position, hold the opposite rudder ( or ). For example, if you rolled left and are trying to maintain a left knife, hold . It is recommended to perform the Knife Flight challenges in a slow plane such as the stunt plane or a biplane like a crop duster. You can steal a crop duster around Trevor’s McKenzie Field airstrip as they often land there.

Unlike the Knife Flights, Under the Bridge challenges can be completed in any aircraft. You will find out, however, that some aircraft types are much easier to pilot than others depending on the bridge you’re trying to fly under. Thus, the Buzzard Helicopter is strongly recommended for these challenges. Also, Trevor is the logical character when going for this achievement because he starts off with the highest piloting skill.

You can find helicopters in Vespucci and planes at any airport or McKenzie Field (Trevor’s airstrip). You can also purchase planes and helicopters online (elitastravel.com), as well as military helicopters on warstock-cache-and-carry.com. Remember, if either your helicopter, jet, or plane gets significantly damaged, use the quick save and immediately reload the game. Your aircraft will automatically be repaired when you are loaded back into the game. As a final note, be sure to use the quick save feature before attempting the harder Under the Bridge and Knife Flight Stunts.

The best way to cross the bridges is by military helicopter , which can be purchased for 20 million. Or get it in other ways that are written above. Only this helicopter can pass through a couple of narrow places where others cannot fly.



“Nanozhe” is best completed by taking a lesson in the “dead loop” flight school , then you can die as many times as you like and appear again in a comfortable plane. This will save game money and real time.

I advise you to fly under the posts in a military helicopter (with a machine gun and rockets). The medical one doesn't fit everywhere.

To fly under bridges, I advise you to use a medical plane - it will fly everywhere (including narrow and low bridges) + it is easy to find (no need to buy or steal from a military base).

For “knife” flights, I advise you to use a fighter jet (you can steal it from a military base or buy it on the Internet) - it’s easier to do “knife flights”, since a fighter jet is easier to control and you don’t feel turbulence, which is important!

PS Don't forget to save before/after each flight, otherwise, if you crash, you'll have to look for/buy transport again!

As for flying under bridges, like many, I encountered a situation where I flew over everything, but some apparently flew carelessly, and we have 49/50. In order to save your time, I would like to give advice, don’t stupidly fly over all the bridges several times, but turn on the video on YouTube from the first tip and bridges with wide openings, where there is definitely no difficulty in flying, you skip the bridge, as you see in the video a bridge that could cause difficulties, fly straight away there and try to fly it carefully several times. There are a lot of easy bridges in the game that you will most likely fly successfully, so this will save you time.

If the helicopter/plane is damaged, it doesn’t matter, fly up higher so that your ward does not get killed and switch to another character; if you immediately return back, he will remain on the transport, which will automatically be repaired.

In the mission "Under the Bridge" you can use the cheat code for the Buzard combat helicopter! Surely not everyone can fly like an ace, and from time to time you can simply disable the helicopter, and running after the helicopter back to its spawn location is somehow not comme il faut! When you finish all the tests, simply exit the company into the online session and log back into the company, this is necessary so that the influence of the cheat codes ends and the trophy drops.

Try flying under bridges 29 and 30 a few times in this video by powerpyx. I had a hitch at 30. I missed it perfectly twice, but it fell out on the third time, which was also perfect.

Completed all "Under the Bridge" tests on the Buzzard helicopter, and all "Knife Flight" tests on the Duster and P996-Lazer aircraft. To avoid having to look for a new vehicle and start over, save the game after each test you complete!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmNjQpijxHo - this is a great way to get a fighter without any problems, the advantage of this method is that when you crash, you can repeat the mission, and you will find yourself again at the beginning of the mission where you can set off again behind a helicopter/fighter

I also advise you to save the game from your phone before each attempt to fly between houses, if you crash, just boot up and find yourself back on the fighter right in front of the houses)

When earning this trophy, I recommend paying attention to flying under bridges, since some do not pass the first time (the propeller slightly caught the bridge, the surface of the water), you need to try again in the opposite direction, for example. In addition, it is better to write down which bridges you exactly passed under, since if you get lost it will be extremely difficult to understand which bridge you did not pass under. For example, I got 49:50 and I couldn’t understand which bridge I couldn’t pass under - I flew under all of them 4 times again - no result. I read in the comments on YouTube - the most difficult is 30th (the water is low), I flew under it three times and the trophy is mine.
PS It’s better to go through the Buzzard military helicopter, either pick it up at the base, or buy it on the gaming Internet for $2 million. I spent about 25 hours on the trophy.

Someone has 48-49/50, then fly over, according to the IGN map (https://www.ign.com/maps/gta-5/los-santos-blaine-county) bridge(s) numbered 26 and 27 , it’s worth adding that you need to fly them on a small Buzzard from the Warstock website. But I didn’t count bridge number 26 and I spent a lot of time and it counted on my fourth walk along the span of all the bridges on both sides. The map is accurate and everything is easy to follow. Let me add: you flew over the bridges perfectly, you saw sparks from the blade - again. This is not necessary, but it may well simply not count. Perform ultra-carefully.

VERY HELPFUL!!! If the turntable smokes and temporarily turns off, we change the Persian, then change it back and the turntable will be in perfect condition. So on 1-2 turntables you can fly over all 50 bridges.

To complete the “Knife Flight” part, you don’t need to hijack a plane from a military base as shown in the video!

If they don’t shoot you while you’re climbing on it, they’ll certainly shoot you down with air defense missiles.

And you don’t need to complete Trevor’s missions to deliver weapons by plane in order to pick up your “wings” after them.

You just need to buy a special stunt plane through your phone in the Transport and Travel section. It costs only 240'000. Ease of control and maneuverability will help you pass the test the first time!

I tried to do it according to the guide 3 times on empty 49/50, but I couldn’t unlock the last bridge, I was tired of looking, on the fourth I tried it according to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=G2McrtbWOF4 everything worked out.

The trophy is easy to get and consists of 2 stages:
  • fly under the bridge (very easy to do on buzzard)
  • flying on a knife (very easy to do on a mallard)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sSwCoecn0I - these are nanoflights. If you die, but it appears that you made a flight, it will be counted. I did it by accident and it worked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EitUby6EC4 - these are spans of scaffolding. I advise you to take Byzzard, but you can use something else. But I did it on Buzzard.

A military helicopter is purchased through the ARMORED VEHICLES website, not airplanes. The one on the aircraft website also clings to bridges 12 and 13 with its blades.

Eeeeep! You write here “military helicopter”, the first thing that came to my mind was Cargobob - the one with two propellers. Why didn’t I try to cross the 12th bridge... In short, a hint: buy this “military” helicopter on your phone, namely the Bazzard that was in gta 4 eflc! It worked the first time as soon as I bought it

Here are a couple of my tips.
-the flight “under the bridge” must be completed perfectly , i.e. do not touch the bridge itself and the ground/water.
-if the flight was successful (an inscription and the number of remaining flights appeared), but you lost control and crashed - don’t worry. If the inscription appears , the flight will definitely be counted. Same with “knife flights”
-flights “under the bridge” are best performed by helicopter . For this it is better to buy a Buzzard helicopter. It is compact, maneuverable and the blade span is small.
And now the most important thing. All "knife flights" and some "bridge flights" can be completed very quickly and without loss! In version 1.16, Flight School was added. There you can upgrade your characters' "Piloting". The school itself consists of lessons. If you crash, you don’t die, you just start all over again! Get to the lesson "Flying with a Knife". They will teach you there. This is where you start doing all these flights. The plane here is very comfortable. Did not work out? Start the lesson again and try until the bitter end! Same with “flying under the bridge”. When you get to the helicopter flight training lessons, start cramming “flying under the bridge” into each lesson.
PS in the mission "Nervous Ron" you can similarly complete several flights, but it will be difficult, since the plane is large and unmaneuverable, and many bridges along the way are difficult. And in this mission, for the gold medal, there is the “6 bridges one plane” lens. I think you know what to do.

There is a problem with flying over two bridges at the very beginning of the canal (if from the video above, then 12 and 13). A medical helicopter sticks very well there; you need to use a military helicopter (it has smaller blades). You can find it at a military base.

I also advise you to save via your phone during receipt. Firstly, your place and transport are saved. And secondly, when rebooting, the condition of the equipment is as new, regardless of how “killed” it was when saved.
