Playing:

Cruise the planet, avoiding 
collisions with mountains
until you find a pilot. East is
a good direction to begin the
search. Watch the height indicator,
people indicator, and distance 
indicator.
   When the flashing block in the
people indicator is near the point
in the arrow and that it begin
beeping and fashing press + to
decrease height and press L.
If your height is low enough the
ship will land.
The computer will announce if you
are close enough to the pilot. If
not, steer the ship until you are
facing the correct direction and
press * to take off for a halfturn.
   If you are close enough to the
pilot press S to turn off system 
and the pilot will approach. Press
A to open the airlock for him.
   When the pilot is in the ship
press S then * to take off. Search
for more pilots. On higher levels
you also have aliens to contend
with.
   As you search you use energy.
You also use energy when you hit
mountains or are hit by enemy fire.
Rescuing pilots or returning to
the mother ship refills the energy
supply.
   After rescuing all of the pilots
from the planet, cruise until the
mother ship indicator light flashes
then press B to leave the planet
for the mother ship.  Play then
