The Flight School is an activity in Grand Theft Auto V that teaches the player advanced flight techniques and maneuvers to improve their flight skill.
In GTA V Story Mode this is an optional endeavor, but obtaining at least a bronze medal in all lessons is required for 100% Completion.
The Flight School is located on Exceptionalists Way at the Los Santos International Airport.
This side activity is also present in GTA Online and GTA San Andreas.
