T-45C Goshawk realistic HUD and awesome video :)
SpazSinbad:
James, a point about the reference you gave (page 5.21) in the PDF manual. The 130 knots refers to the IAS required dirty in the DELTA (holding) pattern [Delta Easy] (waiting to get into the carrier circuit). Otherwise the aicraft must go to Optimum Angle of Attack going downwind turning base etc for final approach. Page 5-17 onwards is the carrier circuit reference. Then after a touch and go or bolter turning downwind 130 knots is a speed reference but otherwise Optimum Angle of Attack. Students get a bit more IAS for 'margin of error' but otherwise carrier pilots fly Opt AoA in circuit (unless stated otherwise).
FCLP starting page 1.-14 has the detail that is not repeated (because it is more or less the same) out at the ship.
SpazSinbad:
From the same zipped PDF this very much edited GIF graphic has the required details for Goshawk T-45C FCLP which are the same it is made clear for out at the carrier. Of course it is much better to read the entire PDF because there are many details edited out. Of much more importance in the PDF are techniques for specific situations during the approach. Bear in mind these are notes for a lecture, which when given will be fleshed out with a lot of verbal explanation.

Mr. "Spaz," it is... :) Thanks for the .PDF's; its well worth the read for the Sim, as it is for the Real world.
Have A Merry Christmas! :)
SpazSinbad:
No probs. Have a good Xmas yourself and get a copy of the FSX Accelerator KAHU A-4K Skyhawk for a present. ;D BTW I did not get a chance to check the .AIR file modifications before it is released so 'Don't Blame Me! ::) Nah it should be fine. The HUD has the AoA indication while similar to Hornet/Goshawk the AoA Indexer was retained next to the HUD. The A-4K has a brake chute, buddy refuel tank option with several others, working leading edge slats, proper spoiler / speedbrake interface - de woiks including da hook.
