How to unlock the Alaska Landing Master achievement in Microsoft Flight - Definitive Guide
There is a total of 9 landing challenges in Alaska. 6 can be completed without the need to purchase additional DLC. However, the other 3 will require you to own the RV-6A from the "Hawaiian Adventure Pack", the "Maule M-7-260C", and the "P-40". Only one of these will be needed for the achievement since you only need to complete 7 of the 9 challenges.
Landings are judged on a variety of criteria including:
- Soft landing (how slowly you touchdown- the slower you are traveling along the ground and the slower you are descending, the better)
- Side skid (how much your aircraft moves about upon landing, try to keep it as straight as possible as soon as you touch down)
- Runway centreline (how close you are to the centre of the runway and how close you are to the direction it is facing
- Location (you get 500 points for parking next to a specific location)
- ILS approach (Points for staying in the ILS Approach vector)
