One of these side activities tasks players with locating a transmitter that's sending out coordinates and then activating it to trace a flight into the Aerial Capture that it leads into.

Fortunately, interested players only have to decipher and locate all of the clues that direct them towards the relevant location, with the flying part being fully automated. Doing this will unlock the achievement trophy, “Recovered All Aerial Captures.” Read on to learn more about all of the aerial capture points in the game.
