Slimer425, you gotta be fast on the toggles while remembering you're just at the stall envelope. Try to keep your airspeed rising by about 3-4 ticks/s. If you're not spooling engine 1 by about the 10 second mark, you're going to have a hard time keeping it out of the drink.

Know your plane. Keeping level with no forward thrust is forcing your airspeed under the stall threshold. Pulling back under the same conditions is like beating your airspeed with a stick until it cowers in the corner. Airspeed = life.

Slimer425, is your natural instinct to pull back? Part of the trick is multitasking to hold the aircraft at a pitch that will give you a good glide speed. Pitch too high and you slow and stall the wing. Pitch too low and you waste precious altitude. All while going through the engine restart.

ok this is impossible for me, am i doing something wrong? even keeping my plane perfectly level, there isnt even close to enough time to spool up the engines

This is great! For a bonus challenge, land without any hud or electronic displays.

Hah! I'm glad! I'm so surprised this mission has done so well since I put it together in about 10 minutes based on a discord conversation! :P
