Aircraft

Aircraft in CIT include planes and helicopters used for travel, missions, transport, and vehicle ownership.

Overview

Aircraft are used in CIT for:

flying between locations
Pilot job missions
cargo and support work
personal vehicle ownership
aircraft recovery

The uploaded source shows aircraft being treated as part of the normal vehicle system, with aircraft shops, aircraft recovery, and Pilot missions. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Aircraft Shops

The uploaded vehicle data lists many aircraft as being sold at:

`Aircraft Shop at any airport`

Las Venturas also has a listed plane shop in `/gps`:

Pilot Job and Aircraft Roles

Aircraft are a main part of the `Pilot` job.

To start Pilot:

use /gps or `F3`
take the job at the airport in `LS` or `SF`
enter a plane or helicopter to start the matching Pilot mission

Different aircraft have different Pilot roles. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Passenger aircraft

These aircraft carry passengers between airports:

`Dodo`
`Beagle`

These aircraft carry larger passenger loads, including international flights:

`Shamal`
`AT-400`

On these aircraft, players can board with:

`Space` on `Shamal`
`Space` on `Andromada` :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Cargo and transport aircraft

These aircraft are used for cargo or transport work:

`Andromada` carries resource crates and uses `M` to cycle payout resources
`Cargobob` transports vehicles and can be paid in cash or resources
`Leviathan` moves cargo containers with `Space` and can be paid in cash or resources :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Special mission aircraft

The uploaded Pilot data lists these special aircraft roles:

`Nevada` runs supply deliveries from `Verdant Meadows`
`Cropduster` clears infested areas
`Stuntplane` performs airshows
`Maverick` carries rich passengers
`Transport Maverick` carries rich passengers
`Raindance` helps firefighters by filling and dropping water with `Space` :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Aircraft Controls and Commands

Useful aircraft-related Pilot commands and controls include:

/assist
/drop
/r <message>
`C`
/cruise
`Space`
`M`

These are used for:

`C` or /cruise for cruise control
/assist to help keep the aircraft steady when your speed is above `230`
/drop to lower glued players slowly to the ground from a helicopter
`Space` for boarding on `Shamal` and `Andromada`
`Space` for `Leviathan` cargo work
`M` to cycle payout resources on the `Andromada` :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Aircraft Recovery

Aircraft recovery is separate from normal ground vehicle recovery.

The uploaded source lists:

aircraft recovery points
plane recovery points

A normal `Vehicle Recovery Point` is for ground vehicles only. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

LV Hospital plane recovery point

`LV Hospital` includes:

a plane recovery point

It is used for recovering:

aircraft
helicopters

The uploaded source gives this example:

`Hydra`

LV Aircraft Recovery Point

The `/gps` `Las Venturas` category includes:

`LV Aircraft Recovery Point` — `Las Venturas Airport` :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

Aircraft and Ownership

Owned aircraft are part of the normal vehicle system.

The uploaded vehicle system confirms:

owned vehicles are managed through `F2`
you can open the same panel with /vehicles
you can recover the currently selected vehicle with /recover
vehicle data can be viewed with /vehdata

The uploaded examples for aircraft recovery also show that owned aircraft can be recovered through aircraft-specific recovery points such as the plane recovery point at `LV Hospital`. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Other Aircraft Notes

The uploaded KB also documents this aircraft-related note:

airplanes can use nitrous
airplanes use `10` times more nitrous than cars :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

Notes

Aircraft in CIT include both planes and helicopters.
Many buyable aircraft are sold at the `Aircraft Shop at any airport`.
Aircraft are used heavily in the `Pilot` job.
Aircraft recovery is handled separately from normal ground vehicle recovery.
The visible uploaded source clearly documents prices, speeds, mission roles, and recovery notes for many aircraft, but it does not fully explain every aircraft outside the listed entries above.
