Делл, я боюсь, этот "эксперт" ручек реальных подержал побольше, чем ты.;)
Sol, эти шоу резко теряют привлекательность, когда самолёты видишь каждый день, и они летают то, что ты напишешь.
Ну так а какая скорость корабля и ветра? Масса топлива 8 тонн - это Эребор. Плюс посадка сильно не по оси.
Если не набита рука, лучше не выходить на 1.5 км на посадочный. Летай с 8. Потом уменьшай.
Usually the seat is adjusted for HUD view and i don't see any signs of readjustment landing in the manual. I haven't meet one carrier 4th gen jet with such a need to raise the seat to see anything.
I'll play with it much earlier.;)
Which is..?
The point is: on landing the meatball is 100% visible, as described in landing technique. What is shown in the video - carrier is not visible at all.
-10 +40 degrees = 0..30 units.
As i said, if it's linear, 15 units = 15 degrees. Easy math. But the conversion being linear is still questionable.
Questions about unit-degrees conversion and pilot view are still actual.:)
Approach speed of 146 kts (as seen in the upper right corner) is for GW of 59K lbs. Maximum landing GW - 54K lbs.
Pitch angle is around 8 degrees. If AoA is 15 units and it is linear in the -10..+40 degrees, it means, that real AoA is 15 degrees (raises questions itself, as this is more, than any plane i know). It results in - 7 degree glideslope. It is a lot.
Carrier approach is always visual. You always control the meatball. Even under AP you would control it's operation not to end the flight in the back of the carrier.
