silverdevil Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) i hope i am not breaking any forum rules. if so forgive me. i just had to share to all of you that some IRL pilots do not seem be bothered by landings https://theaviationist.com/2020/04/24/hud-footage-of-an-f-a-18-hornet-performing-600-knots-7-4g-carrier-break-for-trap-landing/] so when all of you pointy fingered pundits critique imperfect landings... :joystick: Edited April 24, 2020 by silverdevil Sorry about bad link AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

JasonJ Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Dunno what happened there, when I clicked your link from the forum, the link didn't load up correct. "Site cannot be reached error" The text "f/A" link text treated the '/' as a sub-folder command. Hope you don't mind - I re-posted link here: https://theaviationist.com/2020/04/24/hud-footage-of-an-f-a-18-hornet-performing-600-knots-7-4g-carrier-break-for-trap-landing/ Weird thing for me when I was first learning carrier landings, I could easily pull off a 500kt, 7G, 390° carrier break landing (lining up at the last second), but if I tried a slow in "correct" landing I couldn't do it for the life of me...

silverdevil Posted April 24, 2020 Author Posted April 24, 2020 No worries in repost. I feel same way with landings. The first time I ever did a landing in F18, I did like my years of landing in another sim. It was perfect. Then I started doing the right way and was terrible. I understand why it is done doing it right way. Think about the insanity of a squadron doing 7 G turns coming in for landing.

Usually naval aviators do the Shit Hotbreak overhead and with afterburners to give something for the Paddles and LSO´s their effort and help putting an airframe aboard. In that pass the LSO´s will be "more tolerant" for that pilot grading. Cheers, F. About carrier ops: "The younger pilots are still quite capable of holding their heads forward against the forces. The older ones have been doing this too long and know better; sore necks make for poor sleep.'

victorlima01 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 It’s awesome. GB did you ever get a chance to break the deck so, ahem, reagally? ;)
G B Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 GB did you ever get a chance to break the deck so, ahem, reagally? ;) I have :). And I’ve posted one such break to the public. Although, not as fast as the OP’s video. To the public. Not every “first aircraft down” breaking the deck performs a SHB. Numerous factors involved, not the least of which is pilot experience and proficiency. Paddles may give some slack on some of the more minor deviations, but if it gets really screwed up (and it does!) then there’s no slack then.
Creepy Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Not every “first aircraft down” breaking the deck performs a SHB. Numerous factors involved, not the least of which is pilot experience and proficiency. Gotta love commencing after seeing 4 to go on the waist... and showing up again to the same.
BuzzU Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 My point was the DCS purists frown on it too. I prefer to use what a real pilot uses. I forgot GB. Are you a real pilot? Buzz
G B Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 My point was the DCS purists frown on it too. I prefer to use what a real pilot uses. I forgot GB. Are you a real pilot? Nuggets don’t use ATC. After getting experience and no longer being a nugget, ATC is authorized. Of those more experienced aviators, many (but not all) use ATC. Some mix it up (ATC during case 3 but not case 1/2, etc) . Not frowned upon in the least And yes.
