Confident (30G)
Perform a carrier landing without using the Assisted Approach.
It may take some practice for new players but this one should be easy. First, you must line up yourself on the deck. Hit the brakes and gradually slow down while slowly descending. Once you've entered the recommended landing speed, press A to lower your landing gear then slowly touch down.
 
 Going tough (50G)
Inflict 4000 damage on enemy players in a single Team Battle game.

Can I keep it? (15G)
Fully master a plane.
You can wait until you unlock the SU-27 Flanker then use the farming method in Mission 13: Behind Enemy Lines to fully master it or you can keep using an aircraft of your choice until you fully master it.

Hard work pays off (50G)
Fully master 15 planes.
This is best done after your initial playthrough in the story mission. Unlock more planes by using XP Tokens. 

 The way I like it (15G)
Create a custom weapon pack.
Customizing a weapon will still depend on a plane's mastery level. You can only customize weapon packs in most planes once you've fully maxed their mastery level though there are certain ones (like the F-16C) that allows you to costumize a weapon pack as early as LV3.

Overpowered (30G)

Coup de grace (30G)
Using only the gun, bring down 10 players that have been damaged by your team members.
It doesn't matter how much HP is left on the target; as long as your team mates damaged it and you successfully shot it down using your gun, it will count.
