What Mission 5 asks
From Mission 5 every departure has a scheduled time of departure (STD). Push back before it: the arrow turns amber when it's due and red when it's late. Late departures fill the DELAYS meter and cost points.
How to play it
Plan pushbacks around the arrivals rather than the other way round. A departure only needs the runway for a few seconds, so start its pushback early and let it wait at the hold-short line.
- Check the STD on each departure as soon as it's ready, and push the earliest one first.
- Push back while arrivals are still in the hold, not when one is about to land.
- A late pushback breaks your streak and loses the third star.
