Emergency Landing Beginner Guide: Your First Flight

This guide is unofficial and fan-made. It is based on the game’s public badge data rather than a developer manual, and it says so wherever the data runs out.

What is Emergency Landing?

Emergency Landing is a Roblox aviation game in which you fly airliners on scheduled routes and have to deal with emergencies mid-flight. The welcome badge promises “more than 200 unique emergencies”, and the badge API exposes 93 emergency badges, so the claim is at least directionally honest.

What does a flight actually consist of?

The badge set describes the shape of a flight better than any marketing copy: you pick a route type, fly a specific aircraft, something goes wrong, and you try to put the aircraft down somewhere survivable. Each of those four steps has its own badge family.

There are 14 flight types, 11 aircraft, 93 emergencies and 15 landing sites in the current badge set.

What badges will you get without trying?

Your first session will hand you several badges automatically. The welcome badge alone has 13,393,333 awards and an 85.5% win rate, which means almost every player who joins gets it. Domestic Flight is next at 72.4%, followed by First Time for Everything — the first-death badge — at 34.6%.

That last one is the tutorial. Emergency Landing is a game where crashing is part of the loop, and the badge list treats a first death as a milestone rather than a failure.

What are Eaglets?

Eaglets are the game’s currency. The badge descriptions confirm three sources: a monthly reward of 150 Eaglets for joining the game’s Roblox group, 30 Eaglets for playing 15 minutes, and a ten-tier collection ladder from 100 Eaglets up to 100,000.

The ladder is worth knowing because it tracks lifetime collection rather than current balance, so spending Eaglets does not set you back.

Which crew role should you try first?

The badge set maps five crew duties, each with its own ladder:

• Firefighting — extinguish fires, from 1 up to 1,000.
• Ambulance — transport patients, including two- and four-patient rescues in a single round.
• Revives — bring downed characters back, including five in one round for Mass Resurgence.
• Extractions — carry characters to safety, up to five in a round for Ultimate Savior.
• Arrests — the least-used ladder by a wide margin, with only 31,338 awards across all ten tiers.

If you want badges quickly, firefighting and revives are the most active of the five. If you want a rare badge, the arrest ladder has 1,000 Arrests sitting at zero awards.

Which difficulty should you start on?

The game tracks four difficulties — easy, challenging, hard and insane — and awards a badge for surviving an emergency landing on each. The award counts are surprisingly flat: Cakewalk has 1,337,305 awards, Hard Landing 1,247,851 and Insane Mode 1,374,454. Insane Mode outranking Cakewalk is a good reason not to read the ladder as a difficulty ranking.

What should you do in your first hour?

1. Join the game’s Roblox group for the Eaglet reward.
2. Take a domestic flight in any aircraft. That covers the welcome badge, an aircraft badge and the flight type badge.
3. Expect to die at least once. First Time for Everything is the point.
4. Land somewhere deliberately — a field or a runway — to start the landing-site set.
5. Pick one crew duty and do it for a few rounds, so the ladder starts moving.
