Co-Pilot Manual v1.0

✈️ Landing the Plane

Welcome aboard!

In Emergency Landing, the Pilot sits inside the cockpit, staring at a bunch of screens filled with puzzles they have no idea how to solve. Luckily, the Co-Pilot (that's you!) has the manual. Every rule, every step, every strange little detail... except you can't see the cockpit.

Remember:

✔ Pilot = Sees everything but knows nothing

✔ Co-Pilot = Knows everything but sees nothing

Your mission is simple: Say the right things, at the right time, in the right order... and try not to panic.

Cockpit

🧩 Puzzle System

Each level can throw up to 10 puzzles at you, sometimes at the same time. Don't worry, they don't interact with each other; each one is its own little problem.

Some puzzles will ask for cockpit instrument values, so don't forget to ask the Pilot for readings like: Oil Pressure, Airspeed, Altimeter, Tachometer, Fuel, Temperature, Ammeter

There's only one strict rule: Final Stabilization Protocol (the Final Puzzle) must always be solved last. Everything else? Solve in any order you like.

Instrument Panel

🎯 How to Win a Level

  • ◆ Solve all active puzzles
  • ◆ Finish the final puzzle (Final Stabilization Protocol)
  • ◆ And do all of it before the timer hits zero

💥 How to Lose

  • ◆ The timer runs out
  • ◆ OR you hit the maximum number of mistakes

SIGNAL COLOR ENCODER

Logic

The Pilot sees four sides of a panel: Top, Right, Bottom, Left. Each side contains 5 buttons. Every button has a background color and a color name written on it.

Your task: Using the instrument values and the rules in this manual, determine which 5 colors must be pressed, and in which order.

Signal Color Encoder

Choose Which Side to Solve

Check this... YES → NO →
Oil Pressure < 40? Solve TOP side ▼ Go to next row
Airspeed > 120? Solve RIGHT side ▼ Go to next row
Altimeter > 8000? Solve BOTTOM side If all NO → Solve LEFT

Build the 5-Color Sequence

⚠️ Rule: Always look only at the colors you haven't used yet. If a color has been used, move to the next rule. Each color can be used only once.
The first remaining color button is the first unused color button from top to bottom in vertically arranged buttons, and from left to right in horizontally arranged buttons.

Position 1 (First Hexagon)
  • If green button has "Black" → Select green button
  • If yellow button doesn't have "Black" → Select yellow button
  • If black button doesn't have "Green" → Select black button
  • If none of the above → Select blue button
Position 2 (Second Hexagon)
  • If red button has "Blue" → Select red button
  • If yellow button has "Blue" → Select yellow button
  • If black button has "Green" → Select black button
  • If none of the above → Select first remaining color
Position 3 (Third Hexagon)
  • If red button has "Green" → Select red button
  • If blue button doesn't have "Red" → Select blue button
  • If green button doesn't have "Red" → Select green button
  • If none of the above → Select first remaining color
Position 4 (Fourth Hexagon)
  • If yellow button has "Red" → Select yellow button
  • If black button has "Yellow" → Select black button
  • If none of the above → Select first remaining color
Position 5 (Fifth Hexagon)

Only one color remains → Select the last remaining color button

EMERGENCY FREQUENCY ADJUSTER

Equipment Count

The Pilot sees an LCD screen, LEFT/RIGHT buttons, ENTER, and cockpit icons for the fire extinguisher, flare rounds, and oxygen cylinder.

Your task: Determine which frequency must be selected based on the equipment count and instrument values.

Emergency Frequency Adjuster

THREAT MAPPING GRID

The Pilot sees an 8x8 grid with 2 hidden enemy planes and 2 bombs. The Pilot can see their own planes (1×2 and 1×3) revealed on the board.

Your task: Ask the Pilot for their plane positions, find the matching scenario table, and guide them to the enemy planes while avoiding bombs.

Green cells are the plane positions the Pilot sees. Red cells are the enemy positions the Pilot must target. Avoid the bombs!

ALTITUDE VERIFICATION MODULE

2 Phases

The Pilot sees a two-stage input screen: first a 5-letter word, then a 5-digit number must be entered.

Your task: Based on instrument readings, identify the correct table and guide the Pilot to enter a typeable word and number.

Ask the listed words in order. The Pilot checks the letters; the first word they can type is entered, and pressing ENTER completes the phase.

Altitude Verification Module

PHASE 1 — WORD INPUT (5 Letters)

The Pilot will type a 5-letter word using the enabled letters on the keyboard.

Table Condition Words (Try in Order)
A Fuel > 20 AND Altimeter < 5000 BRAKE, CLIMB, SPEED, FORCE, POWER, WINGS
B Fuel ≤ 20 OR Airspeed > 150 FLAPS, DRIFT, STALL, PITCH, RADIO, TOWER
C Tachometer > 2500 BOOST, ROTOR, MOTOR, VAPOR, CARGO, PANEL
D Oil Pressure < 40 CHECK, RESET, ALERT, FAULT, ERROR, ABORT

CIRCUIT FLOW TRACKER

This puzzle consists of two phases. Phase 1 is done entirely by the Pilot. Phase 2 is solved with your guidance based on the Pilot's choice.

Task: Find out which number the Pilot chose in Phase 1 (1 / 2 / 3) and tell them the correct connection mappings based on that result.

The Pilot follows the correct line from button 2 at the top and selects the number it leads to. The selected number determines which table to use.

GUIDANCE OVERRIDE SYSTEM

This puzzle has two phases.

Task: Determine the correct lower switch positions based on the upper ones, then based on the number of green lights, find the correct instrument range and tell the Pilot the 4 direction buttons and 3 keyboard keys.

Guidance Override System

PHASE 1 — LOWER SWITCH POSITIONS BASED ON UPPER SWITCHES

The Pilot sees 6 switches on top and 6 on bottom. Based on the upper switch positions, set the 6 lower switches to the correct positions. Switches are read left to right.

Ask how many red lights are on next to the switches. If 2 red → TABLE A | 1 red → TABLE B | 0 red → TABLE C

How many times
direction seen?		 Table A (2 Red) Table B (1 Red) Table C (0 Red)
Upper switch positions Upper switch positions Upper switch positions
Up Down Left Right Up Down Left Right Up Down Left Right
If direction

When all directions are entered correctly, the green lights will turn on.

PHASE 2 — INSTRUMENT + DIRECTION + KEYBOARD

If 0–2 green lights → Temperature | 3–4 green lights → Fuel | 5–6 green lights → Tachometer value.
