Phase 1 — Landing. ▲▼ set your pitch, ◀▶ hold the centreline. Nose down builds speed; nose up bleeds it — below 55 KTS you stall. Follow the green trajectory line onto the strip and touch down gently, wings level, between 50–75 KTS.
Phase 2 — Extraction. The clock is running. Tap GUIDE TEAM when the marker crosses the green zone to move each patient quickly. Mistime it and the team loses time. Load cap: 3 litters — three runs, make them count. Once everyone is aboard, Jace can load up to three relief-supply crates: each is worth 60 points, but the aircraft rotates later and climbs heavier. If the call is HEADS DOWN — don't tap.
Phase 3 — Takeoff. Full power is set for you. Hold ▲ to rotate once you pass 62 KTS, lift before the strip runs out, and clear the canyon rim. Rotate too early and you'll sink back on.
Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD. Watch the walls — proximity feeds the stress meter.
Ops tempo. Every completed mission raises the tempo: the canyon narrows, the extraction window shrinks, and the wind gets rougher. Tap the tempo line on the menu to reset to routine conditions.
