What Mission 8 asks
From Mission 8 a landing can go wrong. When it does, the runway closes and fire crews drive out. Every aircraft on final has to go around until the runway reopens, which takes under a minute. There's a wind shift a little before halfway too.
How to play it
An emergency isn't your fault, and the game forgives the delays it causes: departures at the gates stop counting as late while the runway is closed and get ten extra minutes when it reopens.
- The moment the runway closes, tap Go Around on every aircraft on final.
- Keep the holds full rather than sending arrivals onto final early.
- Use the closure to push back and line up the departure queue at the hold-short lines.
