Carrier Landings
crim3:
Remember what microbrew said. On final aproach you don't have to aim for a certain IAS, you have to AIM for a glide slope and an AoA with the meatball and the AoA indexer respectively. This way the speed will set itself properly depending on the weight. More heavy and the speed will be higher, lighter and the speed will be lower, but the glideslope and AoA has to be always the same.

Interesting video SUBS17. All I can say is that if I did that on my computer...it will have rolled over and crashed. I am suprised to see so many of these landing successful when the wings are not always perfectly level or landing on the deck is at a slight angle. The only way I can land the F-18 on my computer is fuel needs to be less than 5000 lbs and I have to have a perfectly level and straight landing with the deck so I dont tip over. I seriously feel like my installation of this plane is over sensitive or something. If I can get a video of my approach and landing, I will post it.
Great Ozzie:
Thanks for saying that Randy. Is great news to hear that. Besides... I owed you for the VC tip. :-P
Yes is a great thing these forums... I am constantly picking up things here too and am grateful for the work others put into their posts. Is a good thing I think to see what others do and then pick and choose (wow like a buffet-o-tips!) and end up keeping what makes you a "better" pilot. The learning never stops! Or the fun!
