SHB Thread

Fellas,
I'm slowly starting to get back into FSX after a very long break, and I thought we needed a little more interactivity on this forum. So, I figured I'd start a "Sh!t Hot Break" thread where we can have a bit of fun and post vids of our best breaks. To kick it off, he's my attempt at the "triple nickle" break.
GOONIE:
Micro,
Nice work man! start with the triple 5, then you have to try the devils break :o
I made this video awhile back using FSX and TacView
Any luck with vLSO grading the $HB? I mean a specific comment in the log?
Victory103:
Nice work, I'm still practicing the SHB in the Tomcat.

Goonie, no luck getting some love from the vLSO for the break. I've attached my debriefs for that pass.
Victory, I'd LOVE to see some breaks done in the Turkey. Post em when you can. :)
PhantomTweak:
Interesting, the two video's, that is...
HOWEVER!!
The way I read the NATOPS, a "break" starts out as you pass abeam the carrier, hook down, naturally, to the starboard of the boat and on the BRC. The plane stays level at 800'MSL (which happens to be AGL too :) ) and as it slows through 270Kts, the flaps and gear come down, and the speedbrake retracts. the plane levels out at the inverse of the BRC, and descends to 600' as it travels twords the aft. When the LSO platform becomes visible, the turn to final starts, and the plane descends to about 450' during the turn. Should level out about 3/4 Mi aft of the boat and on the angle deck's heading. The VV approximately on the "crotch" of the boat, then the angle is corrected in close, permitting the boat to travel forward without needing a constant adjustment to starboard by the bird to compensate.
Maybe I'm wrong. Those breaks were tight, no question, but they started abaft the boat and were just a tight circle, really. Were they correct? If so, I really need to adjust my breaks in the future...
Still, great video's! Thanks ;D
