Plane Drug Delivery
Written from the live server data for this feature โ locations, recipes and prices are read straight from the robbery setup, not estimated.
Plane Drug Delivery is the first of the two pilot jobs, and the second biggest payday on the server. Load a light plane at the airfield, fly a circuit of fifteen high-altitude drop points, and air-drop the cargo. Nothing to buy, nobody shooting at you โ the only thing standing between you and $36,000 is your flying.

Step-by-Step
- Get to the airfield and take the plane. (10 minutes)
- Load the drug packages at the loading zone. (15 minutes, target 20)

What You Get & Where to Sell It
Nothing to sell, and no drugs stay in your inventory โ the packages are cargo.
| Payment | Spawn code | When | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per drop | black_money |
Each successful air-drop | $1,200 ร 15 |
| Completion reward | black_money |
When you land and return the plane | $18,000 |
How much money total? $36,000 in black money per full run โ the second highest payout on the server, behind Container Transport. Take the dirty cash to Money Wash to make it spendable.
Flying as a duo? Both the per-drop money and the completion reward are split between lobby members, so the run total is the same whether you fly it alone or with a partner.
๐ฐ Cost vs Reward
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Investment (one-time) | An illegal_tablet to open the menu โ nothing else |
| Cost per run | $0 โ the plane and cargo are provided |
| Reward per run | $36,000 black money |
| Break-even | Immediate |
| After that | Pure profit; only the level 5 heli job pays more |
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Learn the Dodo before you fly this for money. A crash mid-circuit costs you the whole run.
- Plan the circuit on the map first. Fifteen points across the north โ flown in a sensible loop it is one lap, flown badly it is three.
- Watch your altitude. A drop only counts between 10 m and 1,000 m. Cruising too high over a mountain point is the usual reason a drop does not register.
- Get within 120 m of the point before you release.
- Don't bother loading more than you need. The loading step asks for twenty packages but only fifteen drops pay โ the extra five are dead weight.
- Always land and return the plane. The $18,000 completion reward is half the run.
FAQ
What level is Plane Drug Delivery?
Level 4 โ 4,000 EXP on the illegal menu. Moonshine at 300 EXP a run is the fastest way to get there.
How much does Plane Drug Delivery pay?
$36,000 in black money per run: $1,200 for each of the fifteen drops, plus an $18,000 completion reward when you return the plane.
Do I need my own plane?
No. A Dodo is spawned for you at the airfield. You do need to know how to fly it โ there is no autopilot and no NPC pilot.
Why isn't my air-drop registering?
Two reasons, almost always: you are more than 120 m from the drop point, or you are outside the 10 mโ1,000 m altitude window. Come round again lower and closer.
How many packages should I load?
Fifteen are enough โ that is how many drop points pay. The loading step lets you take twenty, but the last five earn nothing.
Is it worth flying with a friend?
It is faster, but not richer: both the per-drop money and the completion reward are split across the lobby, so the run total is identical either way.
