How to fly a helicopter in GTA 5
Honestly, just jump in and start pressing buttons. You'll figure it out. GTA doesn't exactly do flight school. But really, RT/R2 to go up, LT/L2 to go down. Left stick moves you around. Can't miss!

Flying a chopper in GTA 5 is all about mastering the controls! First off, get in your helicopter. Use the right trigger (RT on Xbox, R2 on PlayStation) to ascend, and the left trigger (LT on Xbox, L2 on PlayStation) to descend. To steer, use the left stick for direction and the right stick to control your pitch and rotation. Remember, practice makes perfect. Start with short flights, and you'll be dodging skyscrapers like a pro in no time!
Pro tip: Practice flying in less crowded areas of the map before you try to navigate through Downtown Los Santos. The last thing you want is to crash into a building or, worse, a police helicopter. Happy flying!
