Knife Flights are a challenging aerial stunt activity in Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) that require players to pilot an aircraft sideways-known as a "knife"-and fly through narrow gaps between buildings across Los Santos. This maneuver involves rolling the plane so its wings are vertical and controlling altitude primarily with the rudder and pitch to maintain a steady, level flight path through tight urban spaces [url=https://www.u4gm.com/gta5-modded-account]GTA 5 Modded Accounts[/url].

There are 15 designated Knife Flight locations scattered around Los Santos. Players must complete at least 8 of these to achieve 100% game completion and unlock the "Career Criminal"trophy/achievement. However, to earn the more difficult "Close Shave" trophy, all 15 Knife Flights must be completed, along with all 50 Under the Bridge challenges.

The key to a successful Knife Flight is mastering the "knife" maneuver, where the plane is rolled sideways and controlled using the rudder to maintain altitude. The plane should be slightly angled upward or level during the knife to avoid crashing into the ground or obstacles, as the rudder alone cannot provide lift.

The Mallard stunt plane is widely regarded as the best choice due to its balance of agility, steadiness, and manageable speed. Other good options include the Vestra and Mammatus, which are compact and easier to control at slower speeds. These planes reduce the difficulty of flying through tight spaces compared to faster, more sensitive planes like the P-996 Lazer.

Using a character with maximum flying skills, such as Trevor, improves control during these challenges. However, player skill with the controls is ultimately the most important factor [url=https://www.u4gm.com/gta5-modded-account]GTA 5 Modded Accounts buy[/url].

The 15 Knife Flight locations are spread throughout Los Santos, including areas like Rockford Hills, Pillbox Hills, Little Seoul, and Pacific Bluffs. Some spots are easier approached from a specific direction due to obstacles. Detailed maps and satellite images are available to help players plan their routes.
