What Mission 2 asks
One arrival appears on the radar a few seconds in. Your job is to land it and park it at a gate. It's the arrival half of a flight, and the start of the airborne side of the game.
Step by step
- In the Radar View, tap RIVMI or LIMES on the arrival's strip to send it to a hold. The holds are named after real Hong Kong approach fixes.
- Wait until the aircraft is established in the hold, then tap Land.
- After touchdown, switch to the Airport View, tap the aircraft and Clear runway.
- Pick a free gate in the gate picker. Occupied stands are greyed out.
Getting three stars
With a single arrival there's nothing to collide with, so the stars come from doing every step promptly: join the hold early, land as soon as Land appears, and don't order a go-around.
Questions
What are RIVMI and LIMES in Mini Airport?
They are the two holding patterns, named after Hong Kong's initial approach fixes. RIVMI feeds runway 27 and LIMES feeds runway 09.
What if every gate is full?
Push a departure out first to free a gate. The gate picker greys out occupied stands.
