TIPS AND TRICKS

* When you are out of the course, the crewman doesn't say the 'arrive message'.

* You can't get a perfect score! The game has been programmed to never give a perfect score to the player, even if their landing was great.

* When you land at the Tokyo international airport, you are able to land a second time. You can't score points for doing this, though.
