A very simple mini-game included in various missions, this mini-game is the most commonly found one in the series. The aircraft must be accelerated to a speed of around 150 mph/300kmh. After that speed has been achieved the aircraft must be pitched up in order to gain altitude. The mini-game ends when the plane has risen high enough and/or has advanced far enough. |

A common sight on the Ace Combat series, minigames are minor skippable sequences involving the player's plane actions based on real-life aviation. All mini-games have a time limit of 2 minutes. (except for the mini-games in Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault)
List of Minigames
Taking off
A very simple mini-game included in various missions, this mini-game is the most commonly found one in the series. The aircraft must be accelerated to a speed of around 150 mph/300kmh. After that speed has been achieved the aircraft must be pitched up in order to gain altitude. The mini-game ends when the plane has risen high enough and/or has advanced far enough.
Landing
Every once in a while, one will have to land in an airbase following a mission. A diamond-like shape will appear in the HUD: it indicates the approach to runway. In order to score a good bonus in the mission debriefing, the player has to land right in the middle of the runway. The type of landing will be indicated by the take-off controller (for example, "Perfect, Blaze!" indicates a perfect landing.) However, this, along with the takeoff, carrier landing, and refueling minigames appear very little to none in Ace Combat Assault Horizon.
In-flight Refueling
The third type of minigame is airborne refueling. As expected, one has to approach a KC-10 tanker to initiate the refueling process. Similar to landing, a diamond-like shape appears, indicating the approach. The player has to fly to the tanker and hold still for a few seconds (during the HOLD POSITION message), after which the refueling process will begin and the mini-game is complete.
Aircraft Carrier Landing
Same as a regular landing, except on a carrier. Known as probably the hardest type of mini-game, which includes catching a rope and not crashing into the superstructure of the ship. Also, the length of the aircraft carrier is considerably shorter than that of a regular runway.
