Lap Around the Boat

(1/4) > >>

GR27:
Here's some footage taken via a helmet-mounted video camera worn by the pilot of a Navy T-45 jet trainer as it is catapulted from an aircraft carrier's deck and then circles around to land again on the carrier. This is called "taking a lap." This presentation is about a close as one can get to the real experience save for the acceleration and "g" loading experienced during the real experience.
A great "you are there" carrier flight-ops video 6 min. Don't forget to go full-screen.
Hope you all enjoy this!

Sludge,

Great videos, am looking forward to more in the future!

Wanted to share this video I just saw, one of the best real world videos I've seen in a long time of a T-45 doing carrier ops.

You are right, my mistake, sorry.

GR27, No probs. It is a good video - shame we cannot see the ball/mirror on [edit: CARRIER] approach video though. I guess that is why the camera is placed on the other side of the helmet for the FCLP video:

GosHawk FCLP (this chap needs to swivel his head [lookout] a lot more IMHO):

"aeroeng7 — May 12, 2010 — Field Carrier Landing Practice in the T-45C Goshawk - Filmed with the VHoldR Contour HD Helmet Camera in 720p/32fps

GR27:
That is a great video, thanks, and i agree that it is a shame we cannot see the ball/mirror on approach, maybe next time.
