Pilotwings 64 is a flight simulation game where you complete aerial challenges across open 3D environments to earn pilot licenses. You'll control multiple aircraft types—hang gliders, rocket belts, gyrocopters—each handling differently and used for specific test objectives. Missions grade you on accuracy, time, and landing precision. Hit score thresholds to unlock bonus modes like human cannonball launches and skydiving runs. The game maps out large explorable areas you navigate freely between objectives. Tests range from photo ops at landmarks to ring courses and target landings. Performance determines which license tier you qualify for. It's structured around repeating missions with tighter requirements as you progress through certification levels.
