Max Trap Weight

[Doum76]

As odd it seems, i cannot find anywhere the max trap weight of the Hornet, not even in the NATOP guide, from old memory, if i remember, was something around 34,000 lbs. Anyone can confirm please the max trap weight? I can easily find max take0ff weight but not the trap one.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Is this actually modeled?

Not sure, but to be honest, modeled or not as i'm trying to do stuff as RL i'll stick to it. :)

33K unrestricted per NATOPS. Approaches above this weight will result in high vvi/sink rate. Might still be able to trap but you are much more likely to damage the aircraft. I also find it much easier to fly a stable approach at 33k or below.
