Spaz,
Thanks for the info on WoD, that was a good read if you don't fall asleep. It is counterintuitive to think with higher WoD, aircraft approach speeds would be higher and result more stress on the aircraft and arresting gear.
But you can't argue with the math and observations in the report.
One thing I noticed that might be of interest to Paddles is the G/S angle reported to be used for FCLP, it is 3.25 degrees.
Paddles, do you set the IFOFLS to 3.25 for your FCLP scenery?
Paddles,
Below are three pictures, the first is a CASE I pass with 28knots WoD. I turn into the groove at 3/4NM call the ball and get a LIG (~23 seconds) and a Fair grade four wire. Second picture is same conditions 28 knots WoD, but I turn in early to reduce groove time (~17 seconds). I don't get a LIG, but I get several line up comments since vLSO perceives me as LUL in order to get the correct groove time as per Spaz's advice. Again I get another Fair grade four wire. The final picture shows another CASE I pass, with only 22 knots WoD, I get a two (H) comments, but overall an OK pass into the four wire. I am not sure how the grading algorithm works, but I assume a LIG is a worse comment versus (H), and resulted in the Fair grade with 28 knots WoD, but an OK with only 22 knots.
Paddles as you know I love vLSO, and am just pointing out my observations, not gripes, hoping to make sense of what I am seeing and or make improvements if needed.
