swimbody Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Does anyone... particularly a real hornet pilot, know the proper radio calls during the upwind, crosswind/break, downwind/abeam, base?, final/groove? Would love to know exactly what to say to paddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSS_Sniper Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I’m going with you aren’t announcing your position like you’re flying a C172 in the pattern at your favorite uncontrolled airfield.

WildBillKelsoe Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Lex I think mentioned you'd keep all radio traffic minimum. You'd be passing the break then if and only if cleared to enter the pattern you'd be told so. I think the rest is visual till the groove, where you are then controlled by white shirts and then if you miss, you are then drawn back to the port side stack pattern. Of course I could be mistaken. I highly recommend you watch his channel. Lex Leonis. He also is on discord for discussions you could ask him there.

David OC Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) The calls are a little different when training at the boat in a t-45, you don't normally call paddles on the downwind 180 like in the training video. Good video below by the 113, basic LSO run down at the 4:20 mark Then you can RTFM for more info:D U.S. Navy Carrier Vessel NATOPS Landing Signal Officer Manual More cool videos here by a former USN pilot of the marshal and pattern for carrier ops .

swimbody Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 I searched the NATOPS manual and couldn't get solid confirmation. Thanks for the links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailhook1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I’m going with you aren’t announcing your position like you’re flying a C172 in the pattern at your favorite uncontrolled airfield. This is exactly what I do when I am flying MP and there is noone acting as Tower. :lol: It's all I know and good practice for GA flying plus in those situations- it is uncontrolled. When doing Case I recoveries I do throw in a ball call at the groove - to try to get that cadence down as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcrusty Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) I love ziplip! I hate chatting when flying... the sim:D Especially in case I recoveries (combat not training or quals) That big "toilet bowl" above the boat get flushed... Everything comes together without saying a word. It's amazing. Now, if you're into yapping:smartass: here's a sample of what it sounds like during training Case III recoveries:https://youtu.be/rDrVkbYlsLM Edited June 22, 2018 by Gripes323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
