Correct.
Bear in mind its a beta. A lot to improve and change... ;)
GOONIE:
Roger that Paddles, it is already a fantastic program even if it is only beta. Thanks again for all you do for the flight sim community.

The most recent NFO training PDF has LSO Radio calls - their meaning/response which may be helpful.

Spaz how the HELL do you manage to find all this stuff?! That doc is a freakin gold mine of information! Really enjoyed reading about the holding patterns and entry to the CV pattern during Case 1. I never knew any of how that was done until now. Pretty cool!

'pyro' I'm glad you enjoy the info. Over the last decade (yes that is correct) on and off I have been researching 'how to deck land' yesterday, today and tomorrow - ever since I was able to access the internet reliably (now via broadband which makes things very easy compared to slow dialup speeds). WhY? Because I'm interested and because I have been working over this same time to make a PDF (available online along with a separate 'how deck land' which is also in the A4G PDF) about the history of the RAN FAA A4G Skyhawk. My searching / interest takes me all kinds of places - including here because ever since MsFlightSim has been available I have looked for some decent NavAv aircraft/carriers. At last FSX Accel made these available along with the excellent free aircraft from Dino Cattaneo such as the Goshawks T-45C - which is like an A4G - easy to fly, single engine etc. with no fancy doodads. An A4G was all manual as they say - nothing fancy but really good at carrier approaches with just the age old simple technique of 'meatball - line up - and airspeed (Opt AoA)'. ::)
Always the material online has been free to download. Some people respond by sending me or pointing to new / better information which is then included and so the PDFs are updated every now and then. Currently I'm working on recasting the A4G/How to deck land PDF by deleting all the non NavAv material (including those AirForce Skyhawk users mostly). This will take some time. However the 'how to deck land' notes may be updated soon when I get around to it. ;D
I had the T-45C material in the PDF ever since it started because it quite adequately explains the basics very well. However keep in mind the A4G/RAN FAA Fixed Wing PDF necessarily had to concentrate on the Skyhawk so a lot of 'extra' NavAv material was not included. Hence a separate 'NavAv' PDF (which includes a lot of A4G/Skyhawk material because now you know why). 8)
SkyDrive from Microsoft was renamed 'OneDrive' the other day so I guess I should change my sig - below. Go there or GoogleDrive.
