Fly each gap
Use a fixed-wing aircraft, roll onto its side, and pass through the marked gap without clipping a wall or wing. Save before narrow attempts and choose a plane you can control at low altitude. Any eight knife flights count toward the Story Mode 100% checklist; all 15 are needed for the Close Shave achievement.
FAQ
Do I need a specific aircraft?
A stunt plane or jet with good low-speed stability works best. Avoid larger aircraft that cannot hold the gap.
Can I attempt them in any order?
Yes. The guide keeps a consistent order, but the game checks each gap independently.
What if weather blocks visibility?
Wait for clear conditions or use the in-game time and weather options to improve sight lines through each structure.
