All Knife Flights in Grand Theft Auto V — Locations, Map & Checklist

Knife Flights are 15 narrow gaps between buildings and terrain that you fly through in a fixed-wing aircraft while banked steeply, "knifing" through the gap. Eight of the 15 are required for 100% game completion, and all 15 are needed for the "Close Shave" achievement alongside the Under the Bridge challenges. Most knife flights are in downtown Los Santos where the tower blocks sit close together. A small, agile plane such as the Duster or Mallard makes them far more manageable than a jet.

Frequently asked questions

How many knife flights are there in GTA 5?

There are 15 knife flights in GTA 5, and 8 of them are required for 100% game completion.

What plane is best for knife flights in GTA 5?

A small, slow and agile aircraft such as the Duster or Mallard stunt plane is easiest, because knife flights require precise banking through narrow gaps at low speed.

Can you do knife flights in a helicopter?

No. Knife flights require a fixed-wing aircraft that can bank onto its side, so helicopters will not trigger them.
