[Rlaxoxo]

Pretty cool that Mirage can land on carriers noways

Who needs a hook when you have a chute : D

Nice landing, there's no room for errors :D

[Kayos]

Nice job.

heh, I tried that many times ... but on Kuznetsov (thought ramp would help braking)

no luck at all :D I guess I have to reduce amount of fuel...

@Zhen: Put in 50% fuel, it's what I consider absolute maximum for other aircraft when fooling around with carriers.

[mattebubben]

What kind of nose wind did you have?

[ZHeN]

btw, emergency hand brake - can it be useful here ?

[PE_Tigar]

This is pretty cool, considering that the carrier does not seem to be moving. Ditto on the headwind question.

[Rlaxoxo]

I think the headwind was 3 - 4 m/s

[SFC Tako]

Make the carrier go 50kph into the wind and make the wind go about 5-7m/s. That's pretty normal for carrier ops. And you'll have good a practice environment as well :)

Can you rearm and refuel on a carrier? Does that replace the chute?

In theory you should if you put required stuff on it

[SFC Tako]

The chute does get replaced on a Mig-21 when rearming on a carrier. It should be the same for the Mirage.
